I See On The Gp2x Wiz Web Site You Can^play Outdoor ?

[renejr902]

These questions are for EvilDragon:

i want your advice, i know you tried the gp2x wiz in sunlight.

i play a lot of time with my handheld in direct sunlight. more precisely with my gba and gp32 nlu (no light edition) and they are wonderful in direct sunlight. VERY ENJOYABLE!

So is it a mistake if i buy the gp2x wiz to play in sunlight ? i just want to be sure... what do you think about that honestly ?? did you ever try a gba or a gp32 nlu in direct sunlight? how they compare to the gp2x wiz ?

THANKS A LOT FOR ANSWER I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

The OLED screen will not be as good as the GBA or NLU in direct sunlight.

The screen of a reflective LCD such as a GBA or GP32 NLU gets BETTER the brighter the sunlight is, and OLED gets worse the brighter the sunlight.

Transparent OLED

Transparent organic light-emitting device (TOLED) uses a proprietary transparent contact to create displays that can be made to be top-only emitting, bottom-only emitting, or both top and bottom emitting (transparent). TOLEDs can greatly improve contrast, making it much easier to view displays in bright sunlight. This technology is used in Head-up displays.

But the Wiz doesn't use a TOLED screen

* - AM OLED = Active Matrix OLED device
* - FOLED = Flexible Organic Light Emitting Diode (UDC)
* - OLED = Organic Light Emitting Diode/Device/Display
* - PhOLED = Phosphorescent Organic Light Emitting Diode (UDC)
* - PLED = Polymer Light Emitting Diode (CDT)
* - PM OLED = Passive Matrix OLED device
* - POLED = Polymer Organic Light Emitting Diode (CDT)
* - RCOLED = Resonant Color Organic Light Emitting Diode
* - SmOLED = Small Molecule Organic Light Emitting Diode (Kodak)
* - SOLED = Stacked Organic Light Emitting Diode (UDC)
* - TOLED = Transparent Organic Light Emitting Diode (UDC)

Which one does it use?

The Wiz uses an AMOLED display.

thanks WarmFluffyUK.

/runs off to research AMOLED for something to occupy self while waiting... (I hate waiting!) for Wiz preorder to ship.
