I have a 7" flip down LCD screen attached to the headliner between the front
seats.  It rotates so I can sit outside and watch a movie or show.  That one
has a portable DVD player/TV tuner and I just plug in the connections when I
want to use it which isn't that often.  Ebay $100 for screen, $100 for
player/tuner

The new one I just bought for my new syncro is 8" LCD flip down screen
($125) and Pyle in-dash AM/FM/CD/DVD/TV tuner for $150.  Still need an
antenna.  Got this so it takes up less space.

For me, a portable DVD player or laptop is a better solution unless you want
TV, which I do.
