Help identifying screen

Post by Kurt_ »

Can somebody please give the name/specifications on this monitor, it's going pretty cheap on ebay.

And is it good, if you've used this?

Is it blurry? Does it look like poo? Please post pros/cons of this screen.

Thank you!

(Also, I have some wagon axle grease for sale! :P )

I think it looks like an Intec, but I use nothing but the real deal Sony LCDs.

Yeah well the auction ends today, and it's going for cheap.

That's the screen. But not EXACTLY the screen.

Look on the original image. See the logo at the top of the unit?

Now note how this one (Pelican) doesn't have a logo.

Are they the same screen or a cheap imitation?

(It's going for insanely cheap for a screen)

EDIT: The screen is definitely this one:

INTERACT OVAL PS1 SREEN

And apparently it bleeds a lot. One of the PS1's first screens.
Should I go for it or wait for a better one?

Well, through my research with backlights and video mods for the official PSone screen, I'd have to say it's the best, but if you think it's a good deal, go for it!

It's $5, but $15 for shipping

I'm completely undecided, right now I'm relying on what you guys have to say.

Or (assuming the other 2 bidders don't bid anymore [yeah right]) I can get a verge screen for $25 CAD

I think i'll try the verge, the auction ends 2 hours earlier, I'll just spend a night ebaying.

My bro bought that screen at Circuit City alst year. Odd thing though... The box has a pic of an oval looking thing, and when we opened it up it was a big SQUARE. :?

Anyways, it's a great screen! It looks even better than the PSone screen (really!). The only downside is it's BIG. But if that's no problem, go for it.

Keep in mind that you might get a differnet one than I did thanks to the pictures on the box and differnet stuff inside.

That big square one, if the majority of the space is the backlight, then that's the one I messed up the LCD module for. There's a verge on ebay for a bit more, i'm trying for that...I hope I get it!
