User Reviews about Valor RM-921C 9.2-Inch Overhead Monitor with DVD USB and SD Card Reader

I have installed several flip down monitors and DVD players that were more money and not half as good as this unit. First off the display is clear and bright. Lots of flip downs have horrible viewing angles and can only be seen if right on center. This unit was installed in a 2010 Honda Pilot. No matter what seat you sit in or how high up or down in the seat you are the picture looks clear and bright. Some reviews on this item say that they cannot play any mp4's from the usb drive. I easily found out from Valor to encode mp4's using XVID as the codec and AVI as the output container. If you download Super by erightsoft(freeware)you can easily convert movies to XVID which play perfectly on this player. Since the screen is only 9.2 inches you can compress a DVD movie down to about 600mb. I have a 16gb usb drive and it holds about 24 movies right now. They all look great on this player and I never have to carry DVD's in a binder and get them all scratched up anymore. I recommend using an audio cable via the audio out and connect into your head units Aux input. The FM modulator built into this unit works well but introduces static at higher volumes. -- Great quality and features for an amazing price!!!!!

Does the job. Installed myself in 2004 Sienna. DVD tray is not in the best location and close to roof panel. Very bright and clear image at wide viewing angle. Kids love it. Sound over car stereo via built in transmitter is also quite decent, but recommend the wireless headphones. -- Valor RM-921C Review

This dvd player has options that alot of more expensive units have, and the quality is very nice too. Wireless headphones are a great option that the kids love, resume play is great so Mom and Dad do not have to keep restarting the movie on long trips. So, this is a very nice unit, well worth the money!!!!! -- Terrific Product

After extensive searching for the best possible affordable DVD player we decided to purchase this one. We had it professionally installed and we couldn't be happier with this. My son is NOT a car baby but we have no problems now, this DVD player is very well put together and haven't had any problems so far. Have had it installed for about 4 months now and we use it almost everyday! I would recommend this product, a little pricy but well worth every penny. -- Great Product All Around

I just installed this so I'm not sure about durability but the picture is beautiful. The FM transmitter works great too. I installed in a 2004 Ford Freestar. Bought IR headphones and those work great with it. For the money and screen quality, I don't think you can find a better deal.

BTW, I paid $299. Not sure why it's so expensive now. -- great picture
