Screen Protectors Count Too!

hope those ribbons resist the daily open close pulling

Btw craig, what are those black cables

Wifi antennae?

Weird place for wifi antennae

Isnt it for the audio?

It's a tiny little coax lead to run from the the wifi radio to the antenna - that's why it has the metal lump on the end, rather than an antenna.

You'll likely see something similar if you look inside a laptop that has wifi, or even the option to have wifi - my dad's old Toshiba has the antenna and cable in the screen section even though there was no wifi card fitted.

Screens are good places to put the antenna because they are typically upright when in use, and also you need RF shielding around the motherboard section. Think of how much wifi radio power would be wasted into warming your legs (its about the same frequency RF as in your microwave!) in a laptop if the antenna was in the base.

Not me. Im gonna place them in my Pandora sanctuary

not to say most of the trace antennas and omnidirectional antennas work better on the horizontal axis instead of the vertical.

That was totally uncalled for.

If anything fitting it badly just makes it easier to remove.
I remember the super tight fit for the GP2X screen cover, made me and others think the screen was scratching at first.
I wouldn't have even realised if I hadn't read similar issues on the forum.

Ouch... yeah my screen still has a bit of glue or something stuck on the very edge of the screen from when I had to remove that from my First Edition GP2X...

 

[kingoddball]

Silly....

 

[absolofdoom]

Yep, going to instantly fit my Invisible Shield screen protector to it.

And if it's invisible, how do you know you have it?

Only a 5 year old boy will have the wisdom to speak up

And since 5 year old boys don't have credit cards...they've got a good racket going.

Do we think this is going to be the correct screen protector to buy ?

Yes, but make sure you buy the Screen Coverage, for $14.99, instead of the full body one. Since the screen is the only part which is the same on both. This is the one that I bought several months ago, when they had a discount, now stored in a drawer waiting for the Pandora.

Quite expensive for some plastic sheet, but thanks for the link!

Thanks, ordered.

You can fit them on a bit nicer cause this looks real bad an cheap:

What a goat

Hmm... I bet right now, that goat is just chewing away on same grass with no idea that he has a mug shot on the internet for all to see. Some goats only dream of having what he has. (not really)

What are the dimensions of the Pandora screen. 4.3" but what about hight? Better what's't in metric?
Any one know of a UK stockist? Carphone warehouse is the main one but I can't see an archos 605 version.

I've seen a 102mmx64mm version but I'm not sure that's big enough.

Or small enough

Ok, look the operation is really simple since we know all we need. The diag (4.3' == 109.22 mm), and that the proportion (800x480 pixels).
So we apply the Pythagorean theorem: sqrt(800^2+480^2) gives us more or less 933 pixels for the diagonal.
Now only remains applying the rule of three. 933 px is to 109.22 mm as 800 px is X. And the same with the vertical.
(800x109.22/933) = 94.6 mm and (480x109.22/933) = 56.2 mm.

The size is reaaaaally small I knew it was small but when I actually saw the size of the screen protector I bought I really thought they sent me the wrong model. I hope the screen will be enough for my needs.

The main problem is the ratio. You see, the PSP screen protector is 4.3" wide (diagonal of course) with a 16:9 ratio. Pandora is also 4.3" wide (diagonal of course), but different ratio to PSP.

Pandora's ratio is 5:3. Which is the closest among all common screen ratios to the Golden Ratio (Phi). For me, this is a plus on its beauty.

For home (not cinema) movies and home hd movies, 16:9 is the way to go!
