Lik- Sang's Shit List

[DaveC]

My screen has none of the problems you are talking about. It is crystal clear, no visible scan lines and no flickering (well, unless I switch it with the lcd tweaker). But even if it did, you lose your whole argument when you talk of the "Crystal clear LCD screen of a psp". I have played my friends PSP. The screen blurrs like crazy, definitely not crystal clear. This looks OK for some games (racers), but it looks terrible on most games. When you talk about "telling between pixels", how is that bad? That means that it IS crystal clear, that it isn't blurring like the psp screen does. .. You've been confused by sony into thinking that that is the way a crystal clear screen should look.

EDIT: Where the hell is davec when you need him? He probably has a diagram that explains this much better than words.....

Alot of this depends on the firmware too. I noticed it looked anywhere from good to crap depending on firmware. The first release was terrible as the gamma was way to high and had contrast shadows. The second FW looks clear and sharp but has interlace. The latest FW looks like crap again because the gamma is too high making black look grey and has faint vertical lines because they are overdriving it.

Since the PSP has smaller pixel size the lines between pixels are smaller too. I never thought the "screen door effect" was bad on the GP2X. While slightly more noticeable because of the res it isn't like "OMFG this is awful". Only a PSP fanboi would make it sound that bad. When you compare a slightly more visible SDE on the GP2X with the horrible stretching, distortion and blurry filtering on PSP emulators that stretch the hell out of the image the SDE is nothing in comparison. Then you have the response time on the PSP LCD that rivals the original grey and yellow Gameboy for slowness and ghosting. The PSP screen looks nice if you were lucky enough to get one that isn't peppered with bad pixels, until it moves. It is crap too, just in a different way.

Oh and the screens in the GP2X aren't Korean they are Taiwanese like the BLU right?

I know that no one has respect for me right now as I'm a new member, and most will probably disregard this post... but I don't see a problem in Lik-Sang holding it back until some issues are sorted out. It looks to me like they're just trying to give a quality product to the pre-orderers.

I really notice that problem in DrMD while running with the default settings, but when I used the lcd tweaker, it looked soo much better. I was running mine at 280mhz FPLL -2.

​

Lowering UPLL to -2/-3 or FPLL to -12/-14 is only hiding the interlace problem by increasing the brightness of the screen. You'll get too much brightness, low contrast and the real problem is still there. Even if you can't see it.

See my post here for an explanation.

kotd: Defined died.

btw, the included batteries suck. You have to use Ni-HM or lithuim batteries on the gp2x. Alkalines aren't strong enough to handle the large power drain.

​

Used many NiMH batteries and alkaline batteries. Never booted again. If it doesn't work with batteries it shouldn't have been created to work with batteries. Funny thing is, it only worked that one time with the batteries it came with. Maybe I'll have more luck with the replacement.
