i work in the video games section at Toys R Us part time (hey, they pay for 80% of college). Ive seen 2 PS screens and the main one ive seen has 2 ways to connect it. One way is with the special PS connector. The other is AV inputs for video and stereo audio. Dunno how yours is, but i figure it isnt that hard to do.

i dont get it, is the input to the screen vga or rca? do i have to make some kind of cable? i will pay someone else to make the cable for me if thats the case.

or can anyone tell me in less techniqual terms how i can do this?

Humm... seems like someone asked the EXACT same question and got the EXACT same response.

I think you got the links confused man.

gerard · 10-09-2001, 12:17 AM

the link i directed you to is the connector on the screen, look it up on the inside, start counting pins, solder wires to them.

easy.

kardas · 10-09-2001, 03:32 AM

so its vga input? is this right? a yes or no answer will do.

So how is the quality of this psone screen using a video out from lets say a book pc, as compared to a simmilar lcd screen, like a mobile authority. Does the RGB signal make that much of a difference?

if you could use the rgb offcourse the picture quality would improve, but since the screen is only 5" the quality is fine for this purpose.
check out the pictures of my setup:

its a 5" psone screen

and the full setup.
the screen is now out the car since i changed to a 7" indash.
