When I was looking into this last summer there was a Cobra with wireless color display that got really good reviews.

I've heard good things about the Valentine 1, about $399 from them directly.

A radar detector is only good if there's another car around to take the hit and alert you of the threat. They're also useless against cops with stopwatches or cops pacing you.

V1 is the best as far as radar detectors go... but you still can't fully rely on it to keep you out of trouble.

(I haven't bothered owning a radar detector since about 1990)
