psone lcd screen review quotation

The LCD Screen (for PS one) is currently the only officially licensed monitor for the PS one that"s available on the retail market. There have been a few third-party manufactured PS one LCD screens that have seen their way onto retail store shelves thanks to companies such as Interact, Mad Catz and Electro Source, but until just recently we hadn"t seen one that came with the Sony seal of approval.

Does this really mean anything? Based on what we"ve seen of all the products, not really. The officially licensed moniker means a lot more when you"re dealing with things like memory cards and controllers because there"s a lot more reverse engineering going on because unlicensed third parties aren"t obliged to information about the console and how it works. But, in the case of an LCD screen for the PS one, it"s just a monitor that must work with the system"s output and be attachable to it. Not all that hard to do with or without Sony"s licensing.

At any rate, the Sony name generally stands for quality (let"s forget about the skipping PlayStations and the "Disk Read Errors" on the PS2 for a minute) and its official monitor, the LCD Screen (for PS one), is a top notch and well-built peripheral for the console.

When you pick up one of these units, you get yourself one of the LCD Screens, an AC Adaptor (the exact same kind that comes with the PS one unit), and an instruction manual. The screen is a 5" (diagonal width) Thin Film Transistor (TFT) liquid display and to the left and right of it you get 1 1/2 x 1 1/8 in 1.0 watt stereo speakers. Also on the front of the unit and below the screen you have button controls to adjust the brightness of the screen and the volume of the speakers.

The unit fits snuggly onto the PS one with the screws that are on its rear and looks completely stylish when mounted onto the console. It"s also extremely thin and lightweight, which really lends itself to being portable, which is what the screen and the PS one unit are intended to be.

The screen provides excellent video quality with very black blacks, very white whites and excellent color separation and overall picture quality. In fact, thanks to the reduced screen size and general clarity of the picture, most PlayStation games actually look better when being played on this PS one Screen than when played on a regular television set. It"s a lot harder to notice the low resolution of the textures and the general blockiness of polygonal models that are fairly common in most PlayStation games.

And despite the small size of the screen, you won"t experience any problems reading text in most text-heavy games like role-playing games. We were able to test Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX, Legend of Dragoon, and Vagrant Story and found that the text in each of those games were completely legible. With Vagrant Story, the font"s unique style made it a little less clear than the others, but still didn"t prove to be a problem. The only times that we noticed issues with reading text was during some end-game credits where the text size was much smaller than normal.

Sadly, its AV IN jack is one that requires an SCPH-180 U AV connection cable that"s used to connect video equipment such as camcorders to the LCD screen and not standard stereo AV connections like you"ll find in some of the third party products. What this means is that you won"t be able to easily use this as a portable monitor for other consoles like the PlayStation 2, Dreamcast, and Xbox, which is something that is possible with some of the third party units.

A PSP-1000: the shoulder buttons are on top, the directional pad on the left with the analog "nub" directly below it, the PlayStation face buttons on the right and a row of secondary buttons below the screen.

To make the unit slimmer, the capacity of the PSP"s battery was reduced from 1800 mAh to 1200 mAh in the PSP-2000 and 3000 models. Due to more efficient power use, however, the expected playing time is the same as that of older models. The original high-capacity batteries work on the newer models, giving increased playing time, though the battery cover does not fit. The batteries take about 1.5 hours to charge and last for between four-and-a-half and seven hours depending on factors such as screen brightness settings, the use of WLAN, and volume levels.

Other changes include improved WLAN modules and micro-controller, and a thinner,LCD screen. To improve the poor loading times of UMD games on the original PSP,RAM and Flash ROM) was doubled from 32 MB to 64 MB, part of which now acting as a cache, also improving the web browser"s performance.

In comparison with the PSP-2000, the 3000, marketed in PAL areas as "PSP Slim & Lite" or "PSP Brite", has an improved LCD screenpixel response time, new sub-pixel structure, and anti-reflective technology to reduce outdoor glare. The disc tray, logos, and buttons were all redesigned, and a microphone was added. Games could now be output in either component or composite video using the video-out cable.

The PSP Go features 802.11bcomposite or component AV cable. As with previous models, Sony also offers a cradle (PSP-N340)Bluetooth connectivity,Sixaxis or DualShock 3 controller. The use of the cradle with the controller allow players to use the PSP Go as a portable device and as a console, although the output is not upscaled. PlayStation 1 games can be played in full screen using the AV/component cable

The PSP received generally positive reviews soon after launch; most reviewers noted similar strengths and weaknesses. CNET awarded the system 8.5 out of 10 and praised the console"s powerful hardware and its multimedia capabilities but lamented the lack of a guard to cover the screen and the reading surface of UMD cartridges.Engadget praised the console"s design, stating that "it is definitely one well-designed, slick little handheld".PC World commended the built-in Wi-Fi capability but criticized the lack of a web browser at launch, and the glare and smudges that resulted from the console"s glossy exterior.Time listed the PSP as a "gotta have travel gadget", citing the console"s movie selection, telecommunications capability, and upcoming GPS functionality.

Reviews of the PSP Go were mixed. It was mainly criticized for its initial pricing; Engadget said the Go cost only $50 less than the PS3, which has a Blu-ray player.Wired said the older PSP-3000 model was cheaper and supports UMDs, and IGN stated that the price increase made the PSP Go a "hard sell".mini-USB port to a proprietary port, making hardware and cables bought for previous models incompatible.Ars Technica, which called the screen"s image "brilliant, sharp and clear" and T3 stated that "pictures and videos look great".CNET and Stuff called the position of the analog stick "awkward".Ars Technica criticized the need to connect the controller and the Go to a PS3 for initial setup.

A couple of years ago I picked up a cheap PSone and the official Sony LCD screen then this year I decided to install a cheap modchip. Unfortunately at the same time, I also bought a new HDTV and it really makes some PS games not that good to look at while playing so I decide to resort to the LCD screen. Unfortunately the screen is PAL and trying to get any NTSC games running on it results in the scrolling effect. Even booting the PSone WITHOUT a disc still causes the scrolling effect. Without forking out more money for a US LCD screen (and yes, I do know PSP can play PSX ISOs and there are PS emulators out there), is it possible to get NTSC games working on a PAL LCD screen?

However, whoever it was (above) that said they don"t work as well as the PSone screen is 100%, absolutely correct. The resolution doesn"t scale correctly or map out exactly, and stuff like text and game menus vary from pretty bad to unreadable, depending upon the game. That"s why I sent mine back. It was a disappointment, because I was expecting to match the performance of the Sony-branded PSone screen. I decided I"d let the PSone handle my semi-portable gaming needs, since that screen is so good.

"Joe did an amazing job!! When my LCD screen on my camera Broke I communicated with him what the issue was, he checked it out and within a few days he got the part that was needed and fixed it right away oh and with a great price. The quality was amazing and he was very welcoming. Thank you again, joe. Will definitely come back here again if I need another service!"

In one of the most bizarre moves in early gaming aesthetics, the original PlayStation’s robot making platform took the cake for thinking all the way outside of the box. As a part of Bandai’s ZXE-D: Legend of Plasmalite game set in 1996, Sony included an in-game function that allowed the user to build real-world models of robots using the supplied maker pieces in the game set, then using a special interface that would plug into the PlayStation’s memory slot, recognize the customized parts and bring to life the user’s mechanical fighting masterpiece on screen. What started as an everyday fighting game similar to your Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat or Tekken of future generations, became something vastly different, allowing a more interactive concept that would later give life to games like Skylanders and Disney Infinity.

Christened as “a combination of a Memory Card and a miniature personal digital assistant,” the Pocket Station, resembling the look of a Tamagotchi pet, released for the PlayStation 1 in Japan. The device features an LCD screen, infrared communication, built-in flash memory and a clock because time flies when you’re having fun right? (Okay, my bad, no more jokes). The Pocket Station plugs into the PlayStation via the memory port, enhancing the games with added features.

Unique only to the latest addition in the PlayStation’s life-span, with a much smaller and thinner design, the PS One was released. It made its debut just before the rise of the PlayStation 2, which would later go on to dominate the industry (that’s for another time). In an effort to experiment with gaming on the go and make a move to appease those still hungry for more of the original PlayStation support, Sony unveiled a neat accessory that would take console gaming even further with the LCD screen attachment.

Mirroring the design of a CD try, the LCD screen attachment allows the user to plug their PS One directly into the monitor, making road trips and travel much more enjoyable. The Wii U and Nintendo Switch may be running the portable console market today, but it’s arguable that the original PlayStation was a part of that movement.

It’s compatible with all versions of the original PlayStation (there are many) and sports an On-Screen manual with quick play functionality to get you playing faster.

Fixed a PsOne LCD screen wasn’t lighting up. Ended up going the LED mod route, but decided to design my own little “driver” board that utilizes the AV port 5V to activate the screen, since 7.5V is always active when you plug in. I’m pretty happy with this!

The electronics and entertainment conglomerate will consider new partnerships as part of the review, second-in-command Kazuo Hirai told a group of reporters on Thursday.

Asked about the partnership with Samsung in LCD panels, Hirai said: “We are absolutely not thinking of abolishing the joint venture, and it’s not something that would be easy to do.”
