LED mod image/color quality?

Post by **Triton** » Wed Oct 20, 2004 5:38 pm

here goes, my friend jacob(who is fixing my PS1 screen) thinks that with the led mod you will have lower visibility and color quality with the led mod so i wanted everyones opinion on this. what do you think? is it better,brighter, and clearer. or dimmer,and worse?
you tell me, in my opinoin it would be better

I havent heard anything back about it except that its a little difficalt to do.

I haerd contrast goes down

I only hear that that happens when you do ben's "Jump the thingy mod"

You mean short out that resistor on the board?

if you do it right, the difference is negligible.

when you do the led mod the brightness does go down, but if you do ben's "Jump the thingy mod", as gannon so adequately put it, the brightness goes way up. the only bad part about it is that the contrast does go down a little but it isn't too bad.

I'd love to see an image comparison of the two...I'll be performing the mod myself and taking pics once I get my second PsOne screen..

is the "jump the thingy" mod reversable?

edit: spelling mistake

no it shorts the resistors they will never work again

^ Unless you solder a switch to both sides of the resistor, then you can turn the mod on and off

but I thoguht you shorted it out when you did the mod not just bypassed it

if you short a resistor it shouldn't fry it, you are just creating a parallel circuit and decreasing the overall resistence

so even if it does fry the resistor i could just replace the resistor. unless its like some surface mount resistor. however i'm willing to bet that if i just remove the jumper it will go back to normal, i just wanted a second opinion
