Title: Psone LCD
Post by: Edgedamage on January 11, 2004, 03:32:04 pm
I got lucky and found a local store that was selling these for $60. The lucky part was me getting the last one. I thought of trying other video feeds and was happy with the results.

This little monitor has me thinking about using it for a mini-itx project. It would be a great portable DIVX player.

Do you have any pointers to info that backs up the claim of RGB input?  I find this very questionable.  If it does indeed support RGB input, I wonder if the driver board for these small screen could drive a larger LCD screen (say from a laptop).

Ok, well I confirmed the official sony PSOne LCD panel does take RGB input (through the psone connector).  But the LCD specs are: Zoomed 348 x 240 pixels, Normal 263 x 190 pixels...so not adequate for larger 1024x768 LCDs (without some sort of auto-scaling build into the lcd...which some may have).  

Still would be a cool project to try out.

I found another site tells you the joy pad monitor has cables for audio and composite video. The only lcd monitor that uses RGB is the psone lcd. It's a drag that the ps2 shuts down the rgb output when playing a dvd. Good old copyright laws.
