+5-11under #135 Posted May 14, 2018 It's tough to get a good picture, but here's what the prototype looks like: It looks and works great. Besides the scratches that are on the game I'm playing, the LCD looks pristine. There's one thing, however, that I'll need to contact the supplier about. The range of the contrast isn't wide enough. Even with the contrast as low as it will go, the pixels that are off are still showing somewhat dark. It looked barely/almost good enough. I had to solder in a resistor in parallel with one of the existing resistors to get the contrast in a good range. Hopefully the supplier will be able to fix this. I'll keep you posted. One cool thing is that the front and rear polarizers are fixed onto the glass of the LCD. No extra parts to install incorrectly. 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, pre-orders are still open. I'll give at least one week official notice, after getting the contrast figured out. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EXCELLENT! really looking forward to getting the two I preordered, I think I would like to increase it to three now if that is ok. I have another micro vision in need of a new scree 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffsgames #146 Posted May 15, 2018 Please put me down for one. I don't have a MV, but now I'll have to find one. Had one as a kid and always wanted to find another. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mckafka99 #147 Posted May 15, 2018 I initially signed on for 2 - I'd like to bump that up to 3. This will certainly be worthy of some retrogaming coverage across the Interwebs when this is released. Looking great! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basic soldering? It looks fantastic, awesome work on this! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
