Alpine PKG-2100P

Rating: 4.9

Inside the car space is quite strongly limited. In this regard, for the installation of the TV usually there are exactly two places - the headrests of the seats and the ceiling. Alpine PKG-2100P uses the second option. Its main unit is attached to the ceiling, so owners of off-road vehicles usually buy such a device. It should be noted that the device is sold for very big money - in Russian stores they are asked for about 39 thousand rubles, which makes TV the most expensive in our rating. But he is one of the most functional! The fact is that there is not only an inclined display with a diagonal of 10.2 inches, but also ceiling lamps for interior lighting - they are never superfluous, are they?

This car TV can be called a full-fledged media center. The device is able to play movies from DVD-media - for this there is an optical drive. And not necessarily movies - the product has support for MP3-music and JPEG-images. You can listen to songs, including wireless headphones, working on infrared communication - one pair comes in the kit. Also in the box with the device is a remote control with which most of the settings are carried out. However, a few buttons can be found on the body of the TV.

The composition of the Alpine PKG-2100P includes analog and digital TV tuners. But you can immediately forget about the second, since he understands only the DVB-T standard, which has ceased to exist for a very long time. The screen installed here is ideal for viewing analog television, because it has a resolution of 800x480 pixels. The number of features of the device can be recorded and the presence of FM-transmitter. The rest of the device, unfortunately, is not happy. Most of all, he is disappointed by the lack of a slot for a USB flash drive - not every motorist will want to regularly write content to disk or from time to time go to the department that sells DVD movies. But most of all, of course, cost imposes a stupor. For the money I want to get a much more advanced in terms of technical characteristics of the device.

AVEL AVS1550MPP

Rating: 4.8

It is under the brand AVEL produced the largest number of car TVs. The model called AVS1550MPP is, if I may say so, the flagship decision of the manufacturer. There are also illuminating the interior of the ceiling, and an inclined display, and FM-transmitter. The latter helps in wireless sound transmission to the car radio, which already uses its own speakers. As you already understood, this TV is a ceiling one - almost half of our rating consists of such. At the same time, the manufacturer himself calls his creation a monitor. And this is right, because the TV tuner is not here - neither analog nor digital. To worry about this is not worth it. Instead of a TV channel, it is much easier to watch a movie saved to USB beforehand. You can even download the video in very good quality, since it will be watched on a 15.6-inch screen with Full HD resolution.

Despite the rather large thickness, the device does not incorporate a DVD player. But this TV has a lot of connectors - even the HDMI input is present here, allowing, for example, to place a modern game console in the car’s cabin (if you figure out how to power it). As for the supported media files, the device is not limited to videos - you can watch photos on the monitor, not to mention listening to music. At the same time, support for IR headphones is also implemented here.

As expected, the control of the TV is implemented through the remote control. Despite the very advanced characteristics, the device cannot be called terribly expensive - in Russian stores they are asked for no more than 16 thousand rubles. Slightly upset the buyer can only complete absence of speakers. That is, without interaction with the car stereo or connecting wireless headphones can not do.

AVEL AVS0945T

Rating: 4.7

And this is the monitor, playing at the same time the role of the head restraint. On sale you can find several colors of this device, because the buyer needs to get into the color of his seat. Of course, this TV will be watched only by passengers who are located in the rear seats. This is partly why the car TV is estimated at 11 thousand rubles.

TV AVEL AVS0945T hit our rating due to the ability to play videos from several sources. There is even a DVD player. But it is much easier to drop content onto an SD card, a slot for which is also available here, or to a USB drive. The sound output is carried out on the car radio, for which the FM transmitter is used. If you do not want to distract the driver, you can use headphones. There are two options waiting for the user, since the product supports not only wired, but also infrared models, which do not constrain movement.

To display the image using a 9-inch display, supplemented by a touch substrate, thanks to which the TV does not require a remote control. The screen resolution is 800x480 pixels. Perhaps this is the most significant drawback of the device, because now even smartphones can produce a more detailed picture. You can also note the absence of a TV tuner here, but this is unlikely to seriously disappoint anyone.

Digma DCL-1020

Rating: 4.6

Very inexpensive car TV, which is placed on the dashboard, receiving electricity from the cigarette lighter. The device has a very small size, and on its front panel is a display, the diagonal of which is 10.1 inches. The resolution of 1024x600 pixels is enough to comfortably watch a movie saved in AVI format. But it should be remembered that the viewing angles here are by no means maximum.

Despite the relatively small size, the product has at its disposal a digital TV tuner. However, he understands only the DVB-T standard, which is not used in our country. In this regard, the device will be used to view video from a memory card, a slot for which is on one of the side ends, or from some USB flash drive. This car TV can boast of other connectors - in particular, there are HDMI and VGA inputs, as well as a linear audio output, not to mention a headphone jack.

In short, the Digma DCL-1020 is such a mixture of a tablet and a TV. Here, even the built-in battery is available, which provides several hours of battery life without connecting to the cigarette lighter. Perhaps the device is well worth spent on it 7 thousand. Rub.

Eplutus EP-1019

Rating: 4.5

The cheapest car TV in this rating. Its cost does not exceed 5 thousand rubles. What does the buyer get for this money? A relatively small device that looks like an ordinary tablet computer. On the front panel of the device is an LCD display, the diagonal of which is 10.2 inches. Its quality is far from ideal - the horizontal viewing angle does not exceed 120 ° (vertical - 170 °). The resolution pleases a little more, but it does not reach the HD parameter - 1024x600 pixels are waiting for the buyer.

Why did this device get into our selection? The fact is that here there is a built-in battery that provides up to four hours of work without being connected to the cigarette lighter. Also, car TV is able to please the analog TV tuner. But, of course, it is not necessary to use Eplutus EP-1019 strictly for watching television. There is a USB interface and a slot for a memory card, which allows you to watch movies downloaded from the Internet. There are other connectors here, including HDMI for connecting a game console and a headphone jack. Also, the manufacturer has not forgotten the input for an external antenna, which allows to significantly improve the quality of signal reception.

Perhaps this device is worth the money. It's nice that the set comes with headphones and a remote control. Complain to the buyer can only screen, as already mentioned above.

Conclusion

Such is the list of the best car TVs among those existing at the time of writing this article. Note that we have tried to tell strictly about those copies that are sold in Russian retail.There is a fairly large number of devices designed exclusively for the US market, but there is no point in writing about them - their purchase through eBay will be too expensive.
