What brand and where to get a screen for a fourth gen?

I am getting ready to put a DVD player in my 98 GXE. I want a screen for the top two din spaces. What screens are you guys using now and where are you getting them? Any links will be helpful. I know everyone used to use the Microvision from Redmax, but it seems like his thread is pretty dead on those. Any advice?

Nesa screens are nice, not too expensive, I got mine from Don, but there are many places that you can get them from.

microvision has good screens, so does farenheit. Farenheit might be a little more expensive but yields a little bit better quality.

I just installed a microvision screen last night. It was a very tight fit using the stock brackets. If I had a dremel I would have trimmed a bit off the sides of the plastic around the screen. I had to use a little force to get the screws back into the brackets but it is held in VERY secure and won't budge. From the front it looks OEM. The only problem I had was getting my head unit to fit into the bottom slot where that little compartment used to be. I had to sand around it a little bit. Even after doing that the head unit is still sticking out a bit further than it's supposed to but that would be an easy fix if I had a dremel so I could cut away at it a little more to get the head unit to sit flush. REDMAX sells the microvision screens so shoot him a pm or check the group deals to see if he has any deals on them.

I too got mine from Redmax. I know he's closing up shop but you might try PMing Corey anyway.

They are a snap to install, no sanding needed in my case. They pressure fit into the stock opening by loosening the screws above and below (the HVAC and the lower pocket), put the screen in and tighten up the screws. Voila

I have the microvision for my 97 max. It has a nice fit but the quality is so - so. What monitor will fit like that (without any cutting) and have better quality?
