Our take on the Sony XVM-H65

Adding a TV screen for your back-seat passengers? Sony's XVM-H65 6.5" LCD monitor boasts a crystal-clear picture with a wide viewing angle — so everybody gets a good seat! The monitor can be used as a stand-alone screen in any existing audio/video system.

The XVM-H65 includes a flush-mount bracket, and its slim profile (only 1-3/16" deep) allows you to install it just about anywhere! The low-reflection screen reduces glare, and you can adjust the brightness of the display to fit viewing conditions. Two audio/video inputs and one video output are available for system expansion, along with a handy headphone output. A convenient wireless remote is included.

Details:
  • 6.5" LCD monitor
  • flush-mount bracket
  • connection box with inputs/output
  • 2 audio/video inputs
  • 1 video output (for connection to another monitor)
  • wireless remote
  • brightness control
  • monitor: 6-1/2"W x 4-1/16"H x 1-3/16"D
  • warranty: 1 year
