Question about using HD LCD's and where to get one?

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

I don't really know of any cheap ones... in fact I honestly doubt they have cheap ones since nobody uses one. I'm sure you could probably hack one off a PSP though if 250 bucks is "reasonable" to you.

Nope, the best quality you can get out of a small LCD is the PSone lcd. You could hook it up to your PS2 with RGB and get good quality.

You could use the Lilliput lcds but you'd have to make your own C-sync decoder (to break the sync signal into H-sync and V-sync for the Lilliput.)

i seen around the board here about Green Tinting being seen and i went through the sticky and while in the proccess as much as i understanded it the completely proccess confused me when i used a Dummy system(Paper and scissor's) i've also tried to make it where theres less travel(meaning less wiring length for efficent Stability)

PS1 doesn't make a green tint, that's just PS2. PS1 also isn't HD so it's pointless to get an HD LCD for it

I don't think there's a way to use a PSP screen...

Yeah if you want a high quality screen for a PS2p, the best thing to use is a PSone screen modded for RGB. They haven't yet made screens that fit the one million or more pixels into a 3" square as far as I know.

I just can't wait until they make inexpensive OLED screens that can accept composite or RGB.

The only LCDs that small with that high of definition are in LCD projectors-that's why they're so dern expensive.

They use an LCD screen about 3-4" wide with a resolution of about 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768. You could try finding an older projector and taking it apart for it's screen. It's worth a look at. (Try to find one with a burned out bulb, because it will be cheaper.)

If all else fails, take it apart!

Yeah, that's a $250 mistake. It's impossible, so you will end up with a screen-less PSP and a broken pointless screen.
