Screens that will work for portables

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.

Screens that will work for portables

Post by khaag »

I figured it would be helpful the the community, if there was a thread involving which screens will work for portable making. If you know of any, post it here.

Well let be the one to state the obvious:

-Trusty 'Ol PSOne screen

Others I know of:

-Casio EV-series
-Hipgear Screen pad
-Zenith Gamecube screen (same as PSOne insides)

that already has them all, and it is linked to from the Screens FAQ/useful info. Please check the forum before posting. Plus, this is kind of common knowledge for all of those who are making a portable/ have opened a screen (people in this category)

Yeah, this question has been done to death. The only other LCD's not on the PoD list are mentioned in the sticky (the place ben bought his LED modded Phoenix screens from)

No for both. Again, this question is asked constantly in this forum.

Okay, I've got a question that may just contribute to the forum! Of course I didn't want to start a new thread and be a forum whore like little Billy. So here it goes: Are the Zenith insides for the newer consoles really the same as the PSOne? For example, this screen: http://cgi.ebay.com/Playstation-2-Zenit ... dZViewItem
Help is appreciated. Thanks!

I rember reading some sonic-something person saying that was a normal PSone LCD, but it had some extra stuff that actually improved the screen over the old PSone design. I can't recall what it was exactly though.
So essentially yes it is the same.

i have one (actually i have a verge, it's the same difference), it is the same. the only differences are that it doesn't have that little board or the plugs for the slots on the bottom. is has wires going to wierd places all over the screen and a 1000uf cap on the lower 7805
