That is a good question... as all LCD screens have issues with viewing angle, these screens are no different.
My three year old is still in a car seat and can see the image. I admit we do tilt the seat back down slightly to help with the viewing angle. As he grows, this will be a non issue. Would be nice if there was a mounting option to adjust angle for fixed post headrests. I will try to remember to grab some pictures from his perspective if you're interested.

Saw a few like that as well, but most also require a larger (Deeper) mounting bracket. Which made most other monitors a No-Go in the Wrangler Headrest.

VERY VERY VERY nice work!!! You can tell you really took your time and did a factory looking install. If I had a four door I would do it too. With the 2 door it is pointless no one can get in back there.

Thanks... I did take my time. But only took like 20 hours in slow-mo.

I have this same set-up in my jeep. Before I mounted the screens, I took the headrest posts and carefully insterted them into my bench-vise. I then proceeded to bend the head rest posts so that the headrests are more upright. Served two purposes....The kids can see the screens, and , the headrests no longer stick into the back of my head. I did have to use a grinder to cut a new notch in the posts to get them to click into the seats properly.

Didn't notice anywhere, but I was wondering what the total thickness of your monitors was. I found some 6" LCD that are 22 mm thick (under 0.85") for under $100 each... You think it'll work?
