my new screen

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.

my new screen

Post by specter539 »

here are some pics of my new ps2 screen. yes it was made for ps2 so i figured it would display graphics a little better. I hooked it up by splicing into the lines coming of the normal ps2 plug and hooked up a composite plug and it worked :). it did look a little crummy. i think it would look better if it was to be taking rgb signal.

Replacing the backlight with LEDs will help that, as the inverter circuitry puts out a fair bit of heat in most screens I've seen.

i dont think its the inverter board thats putting out the heat. i think its the audio controller, contrast, brightness board. the one with all those caps on it
