    most items in best buy is overpriced, I bought that 19" vizio in walmart, $159.99, it has no dvd built in but I save video in my PS3 to watch so it's all good, and much more convenient than swapping DVDs, it has 2 hdmi port so I can have one for PS3 and the other for my 360.

    Best Buy is a little more expensive, cheaper than a truck stop though. Best Buy has a lot more selection than Wally World so if you are trying to find a specific size they will most likely have it. Also you can get the flip downs or car tv's. I got the flip downs for 9900 and had them installed under the bunk and in the ceiling on the top bunk. Worked out killer and when my wife and I did have a chance to stop we could watch our own shows. Her and her Harry Friggin Potter!!! I had a flat screen in my W9 and instead of mounting to a wall it had a stand and it wobbled around a lot while we were driving. It wasn't necessarily meant for a truck so maybe that was the problem. If I were a single driver I would probably go all out an buy the biggest flat screen I could find with a nice surround sound to go with it. The acoustics in a big rig are surprisingly good! I guess because of the cab insulation. I saw an episode of "Trick My Truck" and they mounted a projector and raise up screen to the catwalk so the guy could have like a drive-in theater I guess. Wonder how that played out in the truck stop. Nothin like watching a good movie while listening to trucks and reefers run, eating buttered popcorn with the sweet smelling breeze of trucker pee-pee! Course he could probably make some money if he played some porn on there!:sex:

    Naxa LED 19 inch from TA is a no brainer. About $180 plugs in to cig lighter so no inverter needed. Has a DVD player. Mine I love. Use my ROKU on the HDMI port for streaming from my IPad.

    On average each Walmart costs its local community one million dollars PER YEAR in low income funding to their low pay workers. The products only appear to be cheaper.
