Look at all that wasted, empty space on the backs of your car’s front seats. Instead of a bland expanse of barren fabric, wouldn’t your backseat passengers prefer to gawk at something a little more enaging – like, say, Baby Geniuses II or Ultimate Fighting Championship 35: Throwdown? Of course they would. And the Audiovox D1020 Portable 10” LCD TV with DVD Player & In-Car Mounting Kit is just the device to give it to ‘em.

Crunch these numbers, Cap’n: a 10” LCD screen in native 16:9, plus 2 wireless headsets, equals 1 happy car ride for your children, paying fares, or hostages – basically, anybody who’s sitting in your car’s back seat and can enjoy talking, moving pictures on some level. The D1020’s wild black-leather case straps onto the back of most car seats like it ain’t no thing, adding an air of Presleyan rebellion to the interior of your Civic. Its mere presence transforms any vee-hickle nto a mobile movie house, a cinema on wheels, a rolling Rialto without the stale popcorn.

But the D1020 is equally at home in more stable environments, as long as an AC outlet is nearby. Forget the pay-per-view temptations in your hotel room – the D1020’s giving it away for free. Ignore your irritating in-laws and hole up in Grandma’s basement with the D1020. And we’re sure you can work something out to allow for discreet viewing of the D1020 in your cubicle. You’re smart that way.

When Norma Desmond insisted, “I am big. It’s the pictures that got small,” was she presciently anticipating the coming of the D1020? Of course not, but we have to end this writeup somehow. K THX BUY THE D1020!
