Almost every person has faced such a problem as constant traffic jams and congestion on highways. It happens that they drag on even for several hours. The car TV, which is one of the most popular car accessories, can soften and decorate your waiting. However, the stores offer a huge assortment of models of car TVs, such a choice can be confusing for an inexperienced buyer. To make a correct and high-quality purchase, you need to know the following nuances.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you need to pay attention to the size of the TV screen. In stores, you can find devices with a screen diagonal from 5 to 9 inches, there are also 10-inch car TVs, but the price for them is much higher. The diagonal of the screen is one of the most important factors affecting the price of the device, so before buying it is advisable to decide on what you will use the device for. For comfortable viewing of video in the car itself, a 5-inch screen will suffice, and for collective viewing in nature or in the country it is better to choose a larger display.
Step 2
There are currently two screen formats in use: 4: 3 and 16: 9 (16:10). The purpose of the car TV you have already chosen will help you decide which one to buy. The 4: 3 format is most suitable for watching news and other programs, while the second format is suitable for DVDs and many satellite channels. On a 4: 3 screen, watching DVDs will be very inconvenient as black bars will remain at the top and bottom of the screen. At the same time, TV shows broadcast on a 16: 9 screen will also be accompanied by black bars, but already on the sides. Some devices have a special feature that allows you to crop or stretch the image. But in this case, you can miss important information broadcast at the bottom of the screen.
Step 3
More modern car TVs have smart image stretching. In this case, the central part of the screen remains unchanged, while the side faces are stretched or, on the contrary, compressed. At first you will feel strange, but after a few days your eyes will adapt and will not notice the distortion.
Step 4
Additional features include Russian localization, remote control, stereo sound and teletext. All this significantly affects the final purchase price, but ultimately - it all depends on your capabilities.
