Default Any Input On The Cheap $100 TV Monitors on eBay?

Does anyone know anything about these and why they can charge so little for them? I am looking at one right now for $455 with a 7" Flip-Out In-Dash monitor, and 8" Flip-Down Ceiling monitor, a DVD player, and a TV antenae/ A/V box to hook it all up. How can they sell these for so little? Is it because it breaks from looking at it the wrong way (lol). I saw japanese writing on it; is it cheap because it's made over in the sweat shops in Cambodia or something? (no offense to any oriental individuals who may be viewing this post) Just curious because I am looking into doing video in my [future] car, and was looking at this as an option.

I think the picture quality just isn't as good as the higher prices ones. I am thinking about going that route as well. However you can find a used indash tv/dvd for a little more.

the problem is that they WILL NOT last very long due to the heat in the car and the pic is absolutely terrible. i had one and it sucked.
