Gp32 Blu - Screen: Any Good?

[jbb]

Hi guys,

I've been scanning all over the web for detailed comparative review of the new screen light system on the latest GP32 Blu. No luck.
I've been a user of a GP32 Flu for a few months last year, and gave up because of the weak screen front light system... Too washy, loss of colour definition... Plus my unit was not very happy o'c over 150Mhz. Eek.

SOoo... well:

Can anyone give a few more details on how different is the BLU screen, from the FLU screen?
I've read around it's not as good as translflective screens (PocketPCs or Palms)... But is it as good as a GBA SP?

Cheers,
JBB

better than a GBA sp screen but worse than transreflective screens as you said...

However it is not bright enough to be used in Full sun

Yeh, click on 'console pictures' on the left and have a flick through the pages, page 7 seems to be a good comparison picture.

Great for dark or dim areas.

OK to Good in artificial light.

Unusable in the sun or other natural light.
