The times when there was no place for a laptop in the passenger compartment of the car have safely passed, but the problem of “under-equipment” still worries the owners of old cars. The solution to a complex problem was the possibility of buying special portable TVs that successfully combine the functions of a TV tuner and a media player with support for USB components. An additional advantage of such devices is that they are not "tied" to the car's electronics, have independent control and often work from the cigarette lighter.
The main suppliers of portable car TVs to the domestic market are China and South Korea, since European products are too expensive and do not meet the requirements of many consumers. After analyzing the current market situation, we have selected for you the top ten best car TVs that have received high marks from Russian car owners. The following criteria were taken as the basis for the rating:
- popularity of the company in the retail market;
- workmanship and product reliability;
- feedback from users and leading auto experts;
- cost parameter;
- a variety of technical capabilities and the availability of additional functions.
TOP 10 best car TVs
10 Interpower Silverstone F1 INTERPOWER HD 5"
Country: Russia
Average price: RUB 1,856
Rating (2022): 4.1
A modern device successfully combines the functionality of a rear-view mirror and a monitor. The device is mounted on the factory car mirror using a secure mount. It is provided that it works as a partner of the rear view camera and, if it has an automatic activation function, it starts working independently when reverse gear is engaged.
Owners of HD-cameras especially appreciate the model, as the 5-inch screen is able to reproduce the image in the best quality. The resolution of 800x400 is enough for detailed transmission of visual data to the driver. It is convenient that absolutely any camera can be powered through the video input to a portable display.The monitor itself picks up all the latest technical features of the pair, including the auxiliary parking marking system, which greatly simplifies the life of motorists, helping to park the car safely and accurately.
9 DIGMA DCM-430
Country: UK (made in China)
Average price: 1 790 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.2
The car monitor is designed to display pictures from cameras installed for easy and safe parking. And although the technical parameters of the screen are very modest (4.3" with a resolution of 480x272), the smallest obstacles to movement are clearly visible on it: stones, branches, broken glass and other objects that can damage the car. The model easily fits into the interior of any salon: it has laconic design, small size and made in classic black color.And thanks to the low weight of only 200 grams, it is easy to install it on even tiny stands without the risk of slipping and falling of the device while driving.
With a relatively low cost, the model is easy to use. It has optimal functionality and a simple user-friendly interface. For maximum convenience, the device is equipped with a visor that reliably protects the screen from sunlight and allows you to see the image clearly even in the clearest weather.
8 SHO-ME F43D
Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 1 720 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.2
A picture from the registrar and rear view cameras is fed to the car monitor.This information is important in real time, so two characteristics play an important role in choosing this model: automatic switching from PAL to NTSC and optimal response time. The last parameter provides TFT LCD display technology. It has a number of other advantages, including excellent brightness and lack of distortion in a dynamic image. A good plus is the relatively low cost of producing TFT matrices, which subsequently affects the final price of a portable monitor. However, the technology has a significant drawback: the image quality may drop depending on the viewing angle.
In the comments, car owners note that the device slides out of the case during use and its position is comfortable for viewing. When the device is not needed, it easily folds and hides, taking up little space on the car panel and without distracting the driver from the road.
7 AVEL AVS090CM
Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 5 740 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.3
A small and convenient TV allows you to fully enjoy the quality of digital TV anywhere, whether it's a highway or a river bank. And all thanks to the powerful antenna built into the device, which catches a stable signal even on the go, without annoying the audience with a “snowball” or other unpleasant interference. Installing portable equipment in a car is easy: just place the TV on a horizontal surface, and when it is discharged, then connect it to a 12V auto outlet using a special adapter from the kit.
The things collected in the Celestial Empire are still treated with prejudice.However, the Russian company has its own assembly line in China, so the quality control of both each part separately and the assembly as a whole is much stricter than that of local competitors in the segment. This is noted by drivers in the reviews. They agree that this model is an excellent device for reasonable money.
6 ACV AVM-717BL
Country: China
Average price: 3 750 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.4
An innovative TV with an ultra-slim design can be the best companion for passengers in the rear seats, as it is recommended to install it in the headrests. It features high-quality playback of various popular video file types, including MKV, MOV, AVI. The device reads them without problems from both USB and SD media. For lovers of audio content, the model is equipped with an FM transmitter, thanks to which the sound from the screen can be output to the radio and later played through the car's standard speakers.
Users in the reviews report that the device menu is intuitive, it is conveniently structured and has a logical interface. Through it, you can set various parameters: language, color, contrast, background, frequency of the FM transmitter. You can also control the device with the help of a remote control, which is included in the kit and favorably distinguishes the model from the background of analogues.
5 Ergo ER 9L
Country: China
Average price: 9 900 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
To call the equipment of the Ergo ER 9L otherwise than global will not work - there is everything that any ordinary car owner needs.Yes, the implementation of individual functions, to put it mildly, does not please with the quality, but the fact of their presence contributes to the overall positioning. So, from the controversial points, you can highlight the soundtrack. When approaching the average volume level, there are no complaints about the purity of the sound, however, after overcoming the threshold value (which can be clearly determined by ear), a sharp cutoff of high frequencies occurs.
Of the obvious advantages of Ergo ER 9L, one can single out "omnivorous": in addition to the fact that the device has an FM module, a DVD player, a TV antenna and interfaces for USB, Micro-SD and HDMI, it is able to play files of all known formats. If we exclude some clumsy design, take into account the installation method (the screen is hinged and requires fixing under the ceiling) and do not consider a small functionality to be a flaw, then the TV is definitely worthy of being bought.
4 AVEL AVS115
Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 13 900 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
Car overhead monitor has extensive functionality. If desired, you can connect an additional media or game console to it and thus create a real entertainment center in the car. For fans of television programs, it is possible to connect a TV tuner or start a show in DVD recording. The device helps parents on long trips with children, it not only keeps the kids occupied, but also makes it possible to control the content they choose, if necessary, switching programs from the driver's seat through the video input and connection to the radio.
From the reviews it follows that this is the best option for video equipment for those who do not pursue Full HD or plan to connect an analog signal. In the comments to the model, drivers write that for a 15.6" display, a resolution of 720p is more than enough, while, given the good color reproduction, there is no reason to complain about the picture quality.
3 Hyundai H-LCD900
Country: South Korea
Average price: RUB 6,080
Rating (2022): 4.6
The portable car TV Hyundai H-LCD900 could not stake out the place of the flagship of a series of devices from the Korean company, but still the Russian user liked it. Its advantages are obvious: in the absence of a gradually dying DVD player, the model has a USB connector, which eliminates unnecessary fuss with adapters and SD cards. The fact that there is a wide viewing angle is also pleasant - 120 degrees is enough to be able to watch video from anywhere in the cabin.
Alas, it was not without drawbacks. The main one is the low screen resolution: at 640x234 dpi, there is no question of any comfort when viewing. The fact of the complete incapacity of the standard antenna is also depressing. Some users completely replaced it with a powerful receiver with an amplifier ... but this did not give a normal result. As a result, the disappearance of the (in fact, the main) function of watching TV on the road (but only in some cases) makes the cost not entirely justified. But in terms of quality and reliability, everything is fine.
2 Eplutus EP-124T
Country: China
Average price: 5 870 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
The Chinese manufacturer Eplutus has created a whole line of car TVs, the flagship of which today is the EP-124T model. The dimensions of its screen, in comparison with its predecessors, have grown by as much as 3", along with them, the technical characteristics have improved: the LCD screen received a resolution of 1440x1080, a built-in 3000 mAh battery appeared, as well as network and car charging in the kit, an analog-to-digital tuner began more confident to receive a signal due to the increased power of the remote antenna.
The design has become even prettier and more functional. For example, the frame around the display has decreased, and the stand behind the gadget has been made more versatile, thanks to which many users use it in the kitchen of a small apartment or in the country. You should not expect the effect of a home theater from such a baby, but for its dimensions (306x200x24 mm), the ability to steadily catch 15 or more TV channels in almost any conditions and play any movies from flash devices with decent sound is already a huge achievement.
1 Far Car Z011
Country: China
Average price: 19 900 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
A car monitor with modern controls and the ability to connect to the Internet is an extremely rare phenomenon. Filling the void in the market is the brand new Z011 gadget from FarCar with a 4-core processor, the power of which is enough to be called a full-fledged auto tablet. The manufacturer offers to install such devices on the headrests, thereby providing each passenger with a comfortable viewing of media files to their taste.At the same time, an active "bluetooth", a built-in Wi-Fi adapter, pairing the head and additional monitors into one media system allows you to duplicate the image and watch one movie like in a movie theater.
In addition to entertainment, the smart monitor has a lot of other functions: right in the car, without twitching for a smartphone and not being hung with car electronics, with a light touch of a finger on a 12-inch display through a responsive TouchScreen, you can access thousands of applications on Google Play (including . to the pre-installed "Yandex.Navigator" with voice route dialing), use voice search, read and send e-mail, or just chat on social networks. If you want to add digital television reception to the functionality, you can optionally connect a TV tuner. In general, the possibilities are fantastic, it's a pity that there are no reviews to evaluate them in reality.
