Default Headrest Monitor Color Match

I posted this on the LOC website and had no replies, perhaps some of you will have input:

I'm looking at purchasing some headrest dvd monitors for my 04 GX. Vizualogic, Myron Davis, Invision and Rosen all advertise original color match, but at a cost of $1300+. Has anybody tried any of the cheaper monitors (Soundstream http://www.soundstream.com/Video%20P...d_headrest.htm , universal fits http://www.qualitymobilevideo.com/un...t-monitor.aspx or any of the ebay specials)? If so, how close do the monitors match the factory "Ivory" leather?

I bought a set of Visualogic on Ebay for $349.00 brand new. The ivory leather matches exactly. I understand that they buy actual Lexus headrests and install the electronics. You should just keep looking for some that use the OEM headrest.

Thanks!!! I'll keep a watch, there are some monitors only (no DVD) on right now for a great price, but I don't want to mess with mounting additional DVD players.

Yea, I saw the set of monitors only that fit the GX. I emailed them to confirm that. I was thinking about buying them to replace the second row headrests so that the 3rd row passengers had their own monitors. Kind of overkill in my opionion but would be cool.
