Here's a pic of a 6.8" LCD screen mounted in the double DIN area of my 94 Accord. I tossed the cig ash tray, but moved the lighter socket so I could use it for the power inverter.
It was a very trickey install, but once I was done, I was happy. BTW, there's a piece of smoked plexiglass in front of the monitor, to give that OEM look.

You have to have the screen so you're facing straight on. There's a little bit of room for how it's angled, but you can't see the screen at really extreme angles. I myself don't have problems with mine. Its perfect. I can stand outside the car (the passanger door), and look in, and it still looks fine.

The cool thing about minr is that it not only swivels up and down but it also goes side to side. so that if my passenger wants to play the PS2 they can angle the screen towards them to get a better picture

raultsu, that is a cool feature. I just bought a plain LCD screen off eBay for $200, and did the rest of the install myself. The whole thing cost about $300. But an input source (video games, DVD, VCR, or whatever) is still needed. I had my N64, so thats what I use. Great at lunch time, passes the time quickly.

ALSO THE TV HAS A FORWARD/BACKWARD TILT AS WELL AS LEFT/RIGHT TILT.
PERSONALLY, I JUST ORDERED THE PIONEER NAV-SYS900DVD, WHICH COMES WITH THE AVH-P6400CD TV AND THE AVIC-90DVD WHICH IS A NAVIGATION FUNCTION THRU DVD DISCS. FOR THE PRICE, YOU GET EVERYTHING YOU WILL EVER NEED IN DASH EXEPT MP3 PLAYBACK, BUT YOU CAN ADD THAT LATER WITH A CHANGER.

Hey Ive got a sort of similar question...
I drive a 93 prelude auto. I know I wont be able to do an in-dash motorized screen because the dins are inset about half an inch so the screen would always be cocked at an angle instead of straight enough to see. plus my shifter gets in the way so the screen wouldnt even be able to get out unless my car was in drive. And then I thought I might get a large flip down, but they dont have anything like I want. all the flip down mounting brackets are the same size as or bigger than the screen itself (shaped like an upside down laptop computer). If I could find one where the only other thing than the screen was just a little swivel bracket that would be great. And then I thought about getting visor screens. So does any body know where I could get/ how I could make some visor screens (7" or larger if possible). Thanks.
