/\ Thanks JimmieMac

Know I didnt have to repeat myself.


Most portable DVD players have a video in option. its typically used for camcorders etc.

Just adapt that to your gamecube or xbox or snes etc you get the idea and its a screen for your games.

Then it doesnt become useles when you get the next generation hardware either.

Plus you can always watch movies on it.

There are also other objects you can use as a screen. The VEG can convert a computer monitor into a TV or the newest one can be used with a laptop. There is a standard version and two other versions, one for a laptop and one without the tv adapter. If you have a decent sized LCD screen laying around, then maybe this would put it to good use.

I bought one of the Intec 7.2 screens a few months back and hated it. Games with any sort of motion what so ever blurred and ghosted so badly they were unplayable. Ended up buying a 10 inch LCD TV (open box from CC) that works great! If you can swing the price, I highly recommend them.

Yeah, the DVD player screen might be a good idea.

Then again a Logitech etc. GCN portable sceen+battery are easier to use with it.

Depends, but as you want to play your XB with it too, maybe the DVD player + screen.

Jesus that VEG is expensive. For that price I'd rather buy the third party screens that attach to the systems.

Ha, I paid a hundred bucks for one of those Screen-Attached-To-Crontroller thingys. Cool, but crazy expensive.
