2.5" screens

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.

2.5" screens

Post by Kurt_ »

Can someone list (or several people give 1-2) 2.5" screens with guts equal in size or smaller than a hipgear?

Doesn't the VGPocket have a usable screen? I think it's around 2.5inchs.

If you're looking at this post and it was made before 2008, just ignore it.

I have no idea what a VG Pocket is or what its guts look like. Links to guts? What's the resolution on it?

As for AEI Comp, I'm not willing to spend $100+ on a screen that's 2.5". It's $87 US to Canada shipped, plus a $5 customs fee, 14% duty fee, and one or two other fees if it's not made in the US or Canada (even if it's shipped from there), I believe. That's at least $110 Canadian. I'm sure I can get other screens with quality good enough for NES games for cheaper.

I have been eying their screens for quite some time though. They're very impressive, look to be high quality, and have small circuitry. And by the look of that second board, it looks like it could be removed and replaced with some connections to different pins on the ribbon cable and some resistors. If there was a similar screen available to Canada, I would buy it. But not for more than $60. But DAMN I want it.

Any other ideas? Cheap suppliers of AEI Comp screens to Canada? Someone has a hipgear they'll sell? Etc., Etc..
