As many are aware here, I have a JVC KW NT1. It's a great HU except for one thing: the screen door effect/pixelation is awful. Not so much when using navigation or during music playback, more so on movies. Maybe I've been spoiled with HDTV and Blu-ray, but it is very noticeable even to a non-videophile nonetheless.

I understand that there needs to be a "soft layer" built into the screen to make it touch capable (which yields more pixelation and a softer picture focus) and that it's probably not one of the highest resolution or most quality LCDs out there but still. Every time I watch a DVD, I can't help but notice the mosquito net screen door effect on the picture quality.

I have friends who have an Alpine and a Kenwood and their screens have the same effect. So I'm wondering, do you all's double DIN HUs exhibit the same effect?

 

My DNX7120 looked great.

No HD, but clear.

 

just watch the movie on the big screen in your house?

 

i understand where your coming from but blame your particular DD not all because i love my avic d3 and most ppl do also

 

i have the pioneer 4200, looks fantastic, am actually really impressed on how good it looks. your first mistake is buying a JVC. really? and you are disappointed it sucks? there are 3 brands of HU i purchase, in this order.

Alpine
Pioneer
Clarion

Everything else.... no thanks.

 

I like my Kenwood

 

right on, i have had bad luck with them. i have been through MANY decks, my opinion just comes from my own personal experience.

 

Just be baller and buy an 11" OLED.

 

While it's never gonna be "HD" quality - I'm quite happy with my Kenwood too.

 

My JVC KW-NX7000 and now my new Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT are both pretty clear and of reasonable quality. I know compressed videos or Ipod video can look pretty crappy.

 

The “screen door” effect happens mostly on LCD’s manufactured before a date (I think it’s like 2005 or 2006).

I have not noticed this problem with current Kenwood and Alpine LCD’s (or even inexpensive LCD screens, e.g., Power Acoustik and Farenheit). I don’t have experience with JVC screens.

+1, my DNX5120 has worked perfectly for me, no complaints

 

OMFG man. Why do Mods let this Jerk off make 20 threads a day?

 

It's a small screen, deal with it.
