Default Cheap LCD auto monitors

Has anyone used these or used anything from the company that makes them. Are they so cheap because there quality sucks and are a waste of money? There seems to be a bunch from the same company on this website and they are all cheap in price it seems... any experience or knowledge of these LCD auto screens is appreciated... Ron?
thanks

well there are other sizes on that website. The monitors seem to be made by the same company since they are all really cheap. Are they so cheap because they don't have remotes or channel changers bulit into them. They seem to just be able to display a signal and thats it. Retro- are the ones on ebay pretty nice, have you seen them? I don't want to buy something really low quailty and then regreat it later if they hurt my eyes and look bad.

I have bought one. The monitor is Santeca. I like the build quality, colours, angle of view. Comparing to Pioneer/Alpine/Kenwood the quality is the same. Highly recommend.

No, this is 6.8 size screen for the front. I was thinking of putting it into my console but decided to use a gooseneck support. I have no more space in my console.
