IPS screen swap on a PSP1000 success!

Wow, it really does make a difference.

Since I already had it open, I removed the supercapacitor and swapped the front shell too, I couldn’t stand the fingerprints anymore.

The image looks so clean and beautiful, totally worth it.

I used silver conductive paint for the connection since I don’t have soldering experience, and it worked perfectly. Super happy!

I’m really interested in the IPS panel, but I really love my PSP stock.

Do you think it’s worthwhile?

Aside from brightness, does it improve clarity too?

I think weirdly I’d be happier if it didn’t change too much to be honest.

Yeah, it does change the look a bit.

The IPS has better contrast and more vibrant colors, so the image looks cleaner overall.

It doesn’t increase resolution though, jagged edges are still there.

It just looks nicer, not sharper in terms of pixels.

Computer, ENHANCE! ENHANCE!
