Hi

I have 2 playstation vitas, 1 from launch of the system, another i got 2nd hand. Both have a grainy sandy look to the screen, not sure if its a anti glare coat, or a oled defect due to age. I tried removing a screen protector before and the grain was still there, even after being cleaned. Can anyone check their OLED Vita, and see if they have the same issue, not really willing to take the vita apart?



Sorry its very hard to capture on camera, but on the blue background near the bottom left of the screen is the best i can get.

mine doesn't look like this. 2 vitas with the same problem, that's strange. Disable all plugins to test and try Vitabright

This is probably right.

You can quick disable your plugins by holding L1 at boot. If it looks grainy after that it's probably not a plugin. After a restart your plugins will be enabled again (don't hold L1)

The resolution on the vita isn't that impressive 960 × 544 @ 220 ppi, camera angles can look grainy.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
