When you go big screen it'***** or miss. Allot of companies just list bs in their description. What size do you want. Keep in mind the bigger you go the closer to your head in the front seat it will be.

Ok we'll my wife and I came up with our final build for her DD. We would like to go with 4 10"+ headrest monitors w/DVD each one. 2 19"+ flip down monitors. The ps4 and Xbox one will go to the flip downs and So we can have a options for the kids. It's like a court trial when 5 kids tring to decide on one movie or game. (Dead lock every time) lol must admit that's funny. Also loosing the rear view sight is ok with my wife. Does anyone think this is over kill? Especially factoring in 5 little ones. Any good recommendations with this kind of set up? Any and all input is appreciated thx guys.

You will need a large ac/dc converter. I use a 600 watt I believe for the ps3 and I have it installed in the second row captains chair hidden. The new gaming systems use allot of power and video quality is effected when you strain them.

They also get very hot so if you plan in hiding them be prepared for a fan setup. I have two small jet engine sounding fans 3000 rpm pushing and exhausting air from the console.

I definitely think it's over kill. Two much going on at once hard to concentrate or appreciate what is on any specific monitor. I once thought like you and I understand what your thinking but a truck sitting still with all those tv's and a truck moving down the road is two different stories. You will be surprised how fast your kids get bored or just not interested.

I put headrests in the bCk for my son in the third row 8 years old to play ps3. He told me he did not like the viewing angle for gaming so I just put in a flip down for him. Can you imagine? These kids now days have no idea.

The gaming issue I have is we don't really go anywhere long enough for my kids to save game data. They will always be way ahead of what they are playing on the home console.

The only real games that get played in the truck are sports and like street fighter, games that don't require saving data.
