    Don't listen to the above. I read the other day where Wal-Mart's official brand of stereo, Dual, has become a formidable force in the high power stereo market. This year's front runner in the IASCA series is running a full Dual system. Later, QD.

    Eh to my knowledge there really arent that many makers of motorized 7 inch monitors. There may be a bunch of brands, but they are essentially the same. This is probably the same as the Jensen unit, and I know people who are happy with theirs. If their is a decent warranty you might as well.

    aight i wasnt sure i know that walmart is trying to get their hands on some higher end manufacturers but it just sounded to good to be true. 7" Motorized (im about 40% sure it said touchscreen)...200watt output. Figure ill try it and if it falls thru as long as u have a recipt you can get your money back. Thanks for the help guys Reps for you!!

    If anyone else has more info it would be greatly appreciated.

    I have the dual 7" touchscreen motorized indash dvd player model #XDVD8181.

    I've had it in my car for 2 months and I'm 100% happy with it. Sounds, plays and works perfictlly. Plays all cd and DVD and has a great picture. Plus at $300+/- it leaves you $ to spend on speakers or other things.

    Dude don't do it. whatever you do dont buy a Dual or Jensen.Panisonic 7in flip outs are better look for CQ-VD605U or CQ-DV6503U. Video quality is awesome. Still cheaper than the best Alpine and it gives those a run for their money. Also they are Ipod ready and Xm ready. DONT GET DUAL or JENSEN. PM me for somemore info

    Dual, Jensen and the like usually work fine for about 6 months. After that they goto shit. Its your typical chinese made, mass produced, low quality parts walmart brand.

    Well if wal-mart continues to replace them then I imagine it would be worthwhile investment. Personally, I would rather just have a $300 alpine head unit and not mess with flip-out monitors.

    You guys sound like people that hate all black folks because one black guy did something to wrong you. My complete Jensen system(headunit, subs, amps, component speakers, wires, Sirius receiver and amp kit) that I had in 2 cars for over 4 years never gave me one problem. And paying a total of $200 off various sellers on Ebay for all brand new shit was not a problem at all for me, either. I'd give it a shot. Later, QD.

    if i were putting a new reciver in a car i would just go with a head unit but i got a 2000 Tundra and i was looking to put in a monitor.

    I did some research and the dual that walmart sells is the XDVD700. if you go to duals website you cant even find that model which kinda worries me but id say all they advertise is their top of the line. The only difference i found in all of their in dash units is their best was XM ready, Blue Tooth, and IPod capable <<XDVD8381 i believe. the XDVD700 is exactly the same minus the Blue Tooth and XM.

    on walmart.com i found several other brands. Jensen and i believe an Alpine and theres not a whole lot of price difference. You can have anything off their website shipped to any walmart you want and you wont have to pay for shipping. Just gotta decide what i want now.

    No sir I mean I'm not trying to knock Dual or Jensen, just saying where I work we sell Panasonic flip outs by the tons. We also get calls say oh my dual/jensen went to hell, what do you have that is cheaper than Alpine with the same quality. All I am trying to throw out there is you get what you pay for. I wouldn't buy one of those cheaper brands just because I know what we have at my work that competes on the same level as an Alpine but just cheaper. Yet again to each their own right? Anyhow whatever you chose to buy goodluck with it. Didn't mean to come off as an ass or anything..

    Oh and QD i have approx. 600 in my stereo. Alpine head unit (newest one out), Rockford Fosgate amp kit, Diamond Audio Technologies D1 Amp, 2 Diamond Audio Technologies D1 10's.

    dude, i work at wally world (the new one off of powder springs rd. in marietta) and if i were you, i would try the jensen. i heard from alot of customers that its really great. we have them at my store and they only cost $398. i havent really heard much about the dual one though

    and if you buy it and you dont like it for whatever reason, you can return it within 60 or 90 days. thats the electronics return policy

    so yeah

Id LOVE to have alpine but if the panasonics are as good and in my price range ill get one of those.

    the panisonics are double the price of the Dual and jensen....but yet still cheaper than Alpine....in the area of 700, and I have 4 in stock of each right now.

    i will check the price on the panasonic one tomorrow when i go into work at 2

    every wally world can set their own prices, so some stuff that may be high priced at one wal-mart, might be cheap at another just have to kinda look around

    i had a 7" flip out jensen for about 2 years. maybe i was just lucky? nann.

    dont buy a flip out tho. it's a shitty investment. Get a 5-10" screen depending on what u can fit and get it custom made into your radio bezel. A little more $$$ but looks 10x better

    I had a Dual cd player in my first car. Three months it worked fine, then it started just cutting off while driving. Then the sub out quit working. So then I bought a Sony Xplod after that... had more problems with it than what I did from the Dual.
    Circuit city sells jensen too, surprised me. I wound up getting a Pioneer AVIC-N3 anyways It's WELL worth the money.

    I have the Dual x700, or at least a variant of that model, and i have had it for a year, no problems at all, video quality is good, it gets kinda hot when using the screen for a long while, but i just aim one of my a/c vents to help with the cooling. The A/V output voltage is incredibly high. I used to have a clarion pro-audio unit, and i had to turn up my gains on my JL amps to about 3/4 to get a decent amount of volume out of them. Now with the Dual unit, my door speaker JL amps that i use cant be set higher than about a little more than a 1/4 without being too loud to turn past 10 (of 40). Its worth the shot, but i think i got a factory freak or something, because mine is great.

    only draw back, weak radio signals, but thats what mp3 cds and dvd-cd's are for

    i rocked the dual 7" double din for a while...from best buy a loong time ago...anyways it was good for the price and even better priced now! only things i didnt like was the touchscreen is not nearly as responsive as my pioneer is, the wireless remote was pretty much useless, no fucking clock display on it...im serious drove me nuts, doesnt play some of the less known file formats, too bright at night the 1 dim control does nothing, and the worst: no subwoofer control! But on a good note it has like 3 tilt settings, i think all duals come with there lil signature ipod hook-up in the box, picture quality is good for the price! all in all...decent unit for the price as long as u get a warranty!

    >>>just buy my pioneer avic-d3!!!

    i purchased a dual doubled-inn from best buy not to long ago, its not horrable but needless to say i returned mine, picture quality is good but sound quality could be better.
