2.5" Big enough?

[Skiggy]

Ok, I'm planning on making a GCp, but I'm not sure what screen to use. I found a pretty good deal on ebay on a 2.5" lcd screen. Although, I'm not sure if it will be big enough. So what I'm asking is, has anyone ever built a portable with a 2.5" screen and it be big enough or do you wish you had gotten a 5"?

i think for a system like a GC you need a 5" screen the 2.5" is just too small but if you found a good enough deal to save a load of money then go with the cheapest one

I'd go for a 5" screen on a GCP. There is quite a lot going on screen in most games that'd it'd be hard to see everything on a 2.5" screeen. Additionally, the minimum size of a GCP is quite a bit bigger than a 2.5", and such a small screen would look rather odd.

For 2D systems, particularly those that can be crammed into much smaller cases due to 'OACs, a 2.5" screen is fine.

5" is too small for me... for my GC laptop I got a 9.2" screen and it's great. Read about it http://benheck.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=19348.
