The LCD is a backlit TFT display for high-resolution viewing, and features stereo speakers and controls for adjusting brightness, contrast, tint, and volume.

Buyer Reviews :
I always wanted to get this combo deal since I saw how small it is. However, I was pulled back by its price and the fact that I own two PS2(domestic/import) and one universal original PlayStation. Seriously, it will be a total waste of money to get another PSOne. I guess, however, the timing was everything. After I read one of the reviews, which was written wholeheartedly, on the day Sony announced price drop ..., gave me enough push to get this combo deal. Am I satisfied? Yes, definitely.
First of all, I would like to tell you how crispy and vibrant the graphic is. I couldn't believe how much of insane quality graphic this small screen was able to squeeze out, you gotta see for yourself to believe. I was totally amazed by the quality, which I didn't expect at all. If I have to point out something negative, it would have to be this 'angle' you have to adjust for maximum viewing. It's like this big projection tv, where you have to sit and look at it from certain angle to avoid strange glare. My other complaint has to be the length of the power cord, it's on bit short side. But trust me, that's a really minor thing, really.
How about sound quality? I would have to say it's more than enough to fully enjoy your game in everyway you can think of. Not only it lets you use headphone, but also you can control your volume as well. Of course, it doesn't provide like surround system or dolby digital/dts quality sound, but I don't think any of PSOne games support that anyway (may be except Final Fantasy series with dolby surround).
The strange thing is that I began to play all those PSOne games I didn't care to play before. I guess I'm sort of like a selective gamer, who plays games till the end when and only I find them worth playing till the end. However, this thing is so cute and so, so... WONDERFUL, it enchants those 'worthless' games more 'worthwhile', really, there's nothing like playing 'less' worth games right before bed time.. I've been carrying it to library to play during break time or workplace. It's very portable too.
I am a big shooter fan and I replayed Striker 1945. The good thing was that import version supports arcade screen, which let you play as it is in arcade, typical vertical shooter. That's impossible with normal tv because you are not gonna put your tv on side way to play vertical shooter as it is, are you? However, all you have to do with PSOne was just rotate the whole thing, and there you go, you can play Striker 1945 vertically, as it is!!! You might say what's the big difference, it's just little sacrifice on the side with normal screen. Trust me, it makes a big difference especially for games like Striker 1945. (by the way, I found out that domestic version doesn't have that arcade screen support, doh!)
Now, to conclude this, I need to answer this one question: was it worth buying another system you own when the only difference is the size and this little screen? My answer is definitely YES and I just don't know why, but playing games on PSOne screen makes tremendous difference, don't know why but that's way it is.
Now, you can play your RPGs or even Fighting games (Street Fighter Alpha 3 looks GOOD!) while you are in the bed... Wow...what can you ask for more when you have this sturdy system with high quality mini screen? Trust me, you are getting what you are paying for. GET IT TODAY!!
