PS1 LCD PAL 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.

PS1 LCD PAL screen?

Post by Lachy17689 » Sat Aug 14, 2010 2:59 am

Because I live in Australia it is difficult to find PS1 LCD screens. I've searched Ebay, Amazon, Trading post and cash converters and have had no success. There are NO stores within 150 miles that have retro consoles and parts, so don't even suggest it. Could someone suggest a site where I buy a PAL format PS1 screen or an alternative that would work in a portable NES mod. Price limit less than $120.

Or is there a way to bypass the NTSC region lock? I've found several NTSC screens both on ebay and amazon.

Many thanks, Lachy17689.

Alternatively you could use the the Zenith screen (basically the same internally as a PS1 screen).
There's also the 3.5" car backup screens on ebay, but I don't know if there are PAL versions.
In general any screen with composite video in will work, so you could use some portable DVD player screens (though some require you to keep the dvd player intact).
Try posting in the trading post, maybe a fellow australian has one or someone can ship internationally.
Good luck!

The 3.5" screens are supposedly pal/ntsc compatible.

Thank you both for your help, I'll do a good search on Ebay. :)

EDIT:
I've found a 7" TFT on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/7-TFT-LCD-Headre ... 5544wt_911" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Would this work and if so is 7" to big? I would prefer 7" but is it a pain to work with?

Thanks Guys.
