If you are still unsure if the new version of the PS Vita with LCD screen is better or worse than the original PS Vita launched last year, a new PS Vita Screen Comparison video has been put together to help you make an informed decision about the two screens.
Earlier this month, Sony launched a new version of their Sony PS Vita handheld games console, which is now fitted with an LCD screen rather than the original OLED screen.
Reasons Behind the Screen Change
Sony says they have done this to provide gamers with a better picture quality, but most suspect that it was done to cut costs. The original OLED screen was known for its vibrant colors and deep blacks, which many gamers appreciated. However, OLED screens are generally more expensive to produce compared to LCD screens. By switching to an LCD screen, Sony can reduce manufacturing costs, which could potentially make the PS Vita more affordable for consumers.
Performance and User Experience
Check out the video below to see for yourself if the new LCD screen provides a superior picture. The video compares various aspects of the two screens, including color accuracy, brightness, and viewing angles. While the OLED screen offers richer colors and better contrast, the LCD screen is said to be more power-efficient, which could result in longer battery life for the handheld console.
The Sony PS Vita LCD 2000 will be launching on October 10th, 2013, for 18,980 yen or $190.33 in Japan and will be available in a range of colors, including yellow, blue, pink, and grey. This variety of colors allows for more personalization options for gamers, making the device not only a gaming console but also a fashion statement.
In addition to the screen change, the new PS Vita model is also lighter and thinner than its predecessor, making it more portable and comfortable to hold for extended gaming sessions. The new model also features an increased internal storage capacity, which is a significant improvement for gamers who download a lot of digital content.
Overall, the decision between the OLED and LCD versions of the PS Vita will come down to personal preference. If you prioritize screen quality and are willing to pay a bit more, the original OLED model might be the better choice. However, if you are looking for a more affordable option with potentially better battery life and additional features, the new LCD model could be the way to go.
