The Power Acoustik HDVD-9BG was simply an awesome product to review. There are so few flaws in it that it is an easy recommendation over any other product in the category. The loaded package contains a couple of 8.8-inch touchscreen LCD headrest displays with built-in DVD players, adjustable poles, two wireless headphones, two remote control units and the connection cables. At 8.8 inches, the HDVD-9BG has slightly bigger screens which actually look a lot bigger than the standard 7-inch car headrest monitors. You will clearly notice the difference in size if you are accustomed to the 7″ screens. Movies look impressive in 1440 x 234 resolution at 16:9 ratio as the pictures are bright, clear and vivid with better viewing angles than most other car headrest screens. Moreover, you will also get to choose from modes such as Cinema, Full Screen, Wide Screen, etc to suit your convenience. Something that really managed to impress is the Power Acoustik HDVD-9BG managed to play all common DVD formats that we tried to play on it including DivX, quite easily.

An interesting feature in the HDVD-9BG is the inclusion of a touchscreen display to grant you a more “hands-on” control. As it turned out, the touchscreen does its job quite well. No problems were encountered while using it, other than the ensuing finger prints of course. It is possible to operate all functions of the remote via the touchscreen except unfortunately, the DVD options. The remotes are quite good too and they pretty much allow you to tinker with enough options for personal customization of display and sound, should you be interested. Installation is as easy as it can be because running the wires through the seats is pretty much all you need to do apart from fixing the headrest. The inclusion of a 12V adapter is something that we expected but did not get in the box, but that is hardly an issue as you can pick one up for less than ten dollars if you want to avoid wiring it directly.

The two headrest DVD players are completely independent of each other (separate video/audio input/output) so it is possible for you to watch two different movies at the same time or listen to the FM on one while playing a movie on the other. Interference was never an issue throughout the time it was used, even when the wireless headphones were tried out. In fact, the quality on the headphones was equally impressive. It should be pointed out here that should you be experiencing poor performance, take the help of a professional as wrong or inadequate installation is often responsible for that. The DVD players are better than any that we have yet reviewed because not only are they absolutely quiet; they also remained surprisingly cool even after prolonged use. Add all of these positives to a product that also looks and feels premium and you have got the Power Acoustik HDVD-9BG headrest DVD players.
