Sony Computer Entertainment has released an LCD screen add-on for the PSOne, the slimmed-down version of its original PlayStation game console. The $129 high-definition screen plugs into the back of the console and allows players to take their game-playing on the road, without the need to hook up to a TV set.

The price and release date for Sony"s LCD screen for the PSOne have been released on Electronics Boutique"s Web site (ebworld.com). The attachable LCD screen will be released on November 15 for US$149.99. There has been no official announcement from Sony on the pricing and availability.

It took many years to acquire, but the PSOne with a screen attachment has been one of my top must-have consoles since it came out. Growing up as a kid, my parents didn’t have the $100 for the console and $130 for the screen add-on. The Combo Pack was released for $200 and seemed insane, but the PS2 was out and cost $300 at the time of release. $130 for a 5″ TFT LCD screen might seem like a lot, but this did more than just display games. It had an amazing brightness range, and clear stereo speakers that could be quite loud when turned up all the way. It also easily screwed onto the back of the unit and had a headphone jack, AV in, and even AV Out so you can just plug it up to your TV without taking the screen off. The power cable also plugs directly into the screen, so there was a lot of foresight on Sony’s part.

What makes the screen so awesome compared to any other console out there is that you can take it with you. Using a 7.5v car adapter, bringing it into your bedroom, or on the go, allows you to make playing the PS1 a more immersive and personal experience. The LCD screen makes the games look better than they do on current or older TVs. It’s like Sony found a perfect balance and knew how the PS1 would render and output, so they made the perfect screen for it. All the games display clear and sharp and the screen is quite vivid, so I can easily see the $130 price point during release.

As for the system itself, what can I say? It’s the PlayStation 1! While the system’s first iterations had many flaws such as overheating, cheap laser assemblies, and various other issues, the PSOne is sleek, slim, and just the basic unit which is all we need. Sony went for a rounded style with this system and it looks great. The only downside is that you can use most wireless controllers as the receivers are too large and can’t fit a memory card on top. The system is lightweight, even with the screen attached, and would easily fit into a backpack. The PS1 has an amazing library, probably some of the best out there. The PS1 wiped the floor with Nintendo 64 due to just a more diverse and massive library. The Nintendo 64 has some memorable games, but the overall experience just couldn’t top the PS1. With pre-rendered and live-action cutscenes, thanks to the CD format, it was a whole new experience. From the classic start-up jingle to the amazing feeling of the DualShock controller, and even down to the black underside of the discs, the PS1 was a behemoth and was unstoppable.

Would I recommend the current going price for a full PSOne Combo Pack at $100? Yes, go out and get it now. If you’re a PlayStation fan or just want to check out the classic library, this is the perfect unit to pick up. For some advice, make sure when you buy the unit you make sure the power and tray buttons work. These are large buttons and can easily be stuck or get grime down inside. Also, make sure the hinges on the screen aren’t loose. Many units have cracked hinges with screens that won’t stay up, and most importantly, make sure the LCD backlight isn’t dead. I bought a unit from a local store only to have the backlight die on me the second I turned it on when I got home. Of course, make sure both speakers are working and there isn’t any rattling or distortion. Make sure to ask the sellers these questions, or look for this if you find one in person.

This console was released in two formats: the original PSone, and a version with an LCD screen. The LCD screen is set into the circular hatch at the top of the console that was the disk cover in the original version, while the CD player is in the same place, just set slightly deeper in the console than in the original.

I bought a used PS1 screen from someone recently and it didn"t come with the SCPH-121 power supply. I had a couple of extra power supplies laying around, so I thought I would try them. Both of the power supplies had to be hard wired, as the plug end as well as the barrel power connector and accompanying board were MIA. Here"s the deal.

The first power supply that I tried was rated at 7.5V output at 1A. This power supply was originally made for a Netgear 4-port hub. It powered the screen for the mostpart, but there were two very visible horizontal bands that scrolled up the screen. The two bands combined covered about 1/2 the screen in total and slightly distorted the image along with making that section black and white.

The second power supply was rated at 7.5V output at 500mah and is made by Radio Shack. When I plugged it in, the screen powered up, but was obviously not as bright. Also, there was a upwardly scrolling horizontal "area" that darkened the image as it scrolled. It didn"t distorted it like the first power supply did, but you could tell that it was there, especially on dark backgrounds (like the menu screen for Project Gotham Racing 2...I was using my Xbox to test the functionality).

Could that be the problem? If so, does anyone know where I can get a SCPH-121 or even an SCPH-113 CHEAP? If I end up paying more than $15 for one, then I might as well go to my local Toys R Us store and pick up another brand new LCD screen for $20.

A 5" LCD screen accessory was released two years after the console and was included in a "Combo Pack", though it was also available for purchase in stores separately until its eventual discontinuation in 2004. The accessory could be connected to the console"s AV MULTI OUT and DC IN 7.5V ports and was fastened in place with two screws. After connecting it, all video output would display on the screen while the audio would play through the screen"s speakers. The accessory was designed to allow for greater portability of the console since, at the time, Sony had not yet developed a handheld system. This can also be seen in the Combo Pack"s included cigarette lighter adapter which allowed the system to be plugged into a car outlet.
