How is screen size calculated?
All TV screens are measured diagonally eg from bottom left corner to top right corner, this applies to all LCD screens - even your 28 inch widescreen at home! With LCD TV screens the size given is usually the 'panel' size which differs from viewable area, as the panel will have a surround for neatness and safety. An 8" lcd screen will not have a viewable diagonal size of exactly 8 inches, but it will be very close to that. Hence all screen sizes given are approximate.

Is there a warranty on your in car dvd, video, tv and gaming systems?
There is at least a 12 month warranty on all our in car dvd, video, tv and gaming systems. Check each products specification for details.

We only stock systems that have been tried and tested by our buyers.
Each new product goes through rigorous testing before we stock it. Believe us fault rates can be extremely high on inferior kit and viewing angles on screens very small. A great deal of kit is rejected on quality grounds, so you can be assured your product will work!

Can I return faulty items?
As with all brand new electronic products a 1% failure rate is common. We are experienced in dealing with any problems that arise, and conform with the distance selling directive. We offer a full unconditional 14 day return policy plus if your system were faulty we would replace it and collect the old one at our cost.

Why should I buy an in car dvd, video, tv or gaming system?
Yes it’s a luxury, but if you have kids it’s the latest big thing! If you have ever experienced a long journey with kids in the back you’ll know how stressful this can be. With an in car dvd, video, tv or gaming system all you will get is silence from the back, as all systems come with headphones! With dvd lasting 2 hours you wont hear from them again till you arrive, plus the system can be used at home too!

Where do I start when selecting an in car dvd, video, tv and gaming system?
There are two basic concepts when it comes to in car dvd, video, tv and gaming systems. The first is ‘portable systems’ and the second a ‘permanent installation’.

The advantages of ‘portable systems’
A portable system is the fastest and most popular method for getting an in car dvd, video, tv or gaming system. Portable system means exactly that. You simply plug the system into your car's cigarette lighter and you are up and running. This means you can take it on holiday or swap it between cars quickly and easily. These systems generally come in a custom bag with a screen and headphones. When you leave the car you can unplug and take it with you, which is great for security. All systems can be used with 240v adaptors which makes them ideal for use at home.

The advantages of ‘permanent installation’
Some systems are made for permanent installation. Permanent installation offers wider scope for a ‘cinema experience’, for example sound can be hooked up to the vehicles existing audio system and screen options are much wider. Screens can be permanently fixed into headrests or sun visors and retrimmed to the cars original spec.

DVD or Video?
This is your choice, but now DVD quality is so much better than video- plus the DVD players are much easier to use.

Can I really watch TV in the car?
Yes, an in car TV is exactly that, however TV signals are such that they are only really of use when stationary, but a great picture can be expected when parked up. DVD, Video and games work 100% when on the move!

Whats a gaming system?
You can plug a playstation 1 or 2 into many of our systems and there are even adaptors that are specifically for hooking up the playstation on its own!

The screen is quite small is it ok to watch?
A typical in car dvd, video, tv or gaming system will utilise a 7 inch colour lcd tft screen, yes its small but the picture is pin sharp and easily watchable. Have you ever seen your kids glued to the gameboy? The biggest gameboy screen is just 2.9 inches! Other screen options are available such as 8 inch or 10 inch.

Are in car dvd, video, tv and gaming systems legal to use in the car?
In car dvd, video, tv and gaming systems for passenger use are completely legal to sell and use in the UK!

What is the difference between a £99 and £1000 system?
Obviously, the more expensive the system the better it is. This is not to say that the less expensive models are useless though! The more expensive systems tend to have the extras like bigger screens, dolby sound and infra red headphones.

I have seen some really cheap systems for sale?
We would advise very strongly against buying a very cheap in car or portable system, most are unsuitable for in car use - you hit a pothole and you are back to the start of the dvd! If we say its an in car system then it is specifically built for that purpose. Cheap screens are made from chopped up 'reject' tft monitors and can vary enormously in quality!

Do you sell in car dvd, video, tv and gaming systems to trade or wholesale?
Depending on the circumstance it is possible for us to sell to trade. Please contact us with your requirements and we will be happy to give you a quote.
