The VZ401 is a nice head unit. A con though: it doesn't have a 3 band EQ. You can only adjust the treble and bass.

I have this unit for at least 5 months and let me tell you is the best unit i have owned so far. The picture is crystal clear, and the capabilities of the unit are extensive. There are options for GPS and a rear view camera. These are excellent extras to have available. I have a small car with a small dashboard and regular screen radios did not fit. This flip out radio works seamlessly. There is no stutter, pause, or noise when the screen comes out. The bluetooth option is amazing. Once my iPhone was connected I am able to play music without connecting it via USB. The option to make and recieve calls through the radio is also wonderful while driving. This radio far surpassed my expectations and I would recommend this to anyone who wants a screen but has no space for it.

I bought the TV looking for a bargain. I got what I paid for. I also bought the receiver looking for sound quality. I did not get that. The unit doesn't have high pass filters or a low pass filter so subwoofer quality and control is poor. As far as the screen resolution it was exceptionable. I recomend this tv for someone looking for JUST a TV because the equalizer and subwoofer control are poor.
