Pustom 2.5" lcd

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.

Well, I'm sure its bulkier than the PSone screen, but I doubt the whole case is filled with electronics. I opened up my Mad Catz 7" screen, and a lot of it is just empty space. Who knows, though.

It probably wont have great resolution, but will be fine for your purposes.

this seems to remind me of this screen here

it runs on 12V DC but there aren't any power cables included.

This screen is probably a better deal aswell considering price, and it loks a lot sleeker too, but the internals might be same...but probably not.
