There is nothing wrong with the slim lcd screen
If it displays the wrong colors, how can you say there is nothing wrong with it?
Another person who can't tell the difference between lying and having an opinion
its looks fine barely any different sans the oversatured colors
yea. colors suck
blotches, and shorter battery life from oled
this is not LCD vs OLED. Let's say it was the opposite, let's say the slim vita screen was normal like any other LCD device, while the oled vita had the microwave oven colored screen, instead of the other way around. In my view it would be the same situation--I'd go with the screen that doesn't look like crap. I don't care about what technology is used. If I get better battery life in the process, so be it. To me that's just a bonus. It's like if you asked me, "would you like 1 hour more battery life on your Vita but in exchange I stick peanut butter until all the controls" I wouldn't accept that offer. That doesn't mean I don't care about battery life, it just means I have priorities.
people are just making a big deal about it because of comparison pictures online without actually using or seeing them in person
Wrong. I bought a slim vita from ebay even after seeing the comparison pics.
After about 2 days I realized something was wrong with it, without even owning an OLED vita for comparison. How is this even possible? The slim Vita is junk, that's how. The comparions lead us to think the slim vita is almost as good as the OLED vita, but that's the not whole story.
I ordered an OLED vita the same week I received my slim vita. When it arrived I started taking comparison pics but I realized it is a waste of time. The comparison pics already exist, and they're REALLY DAMN GOOD. But still people still aren't convinced my them. I am a testament to that, seeing as I got a slim Vita even after seeing the comparison pics. So I have to wonder if there might be a psychological flaw to showing comparisons. It's as though the comparisons have the exact opposite effect and make the slim vita seem legitimate. You could probably take a picture of two OLED Vitas at different brightness settings and it would look similar to the comparisons. But in reality the problem with the slim vita isn't that it's less bright or less colorful, it's that the colors are the wrong hue.
Ive used both and you are not missing anything, I'll take the slim and all the extra features over the oled anyday
lol features. What features? Micro usb port. That's feature, not features with an s.
I got a slim Vita for the micro usb port. But you might as well put a micro usb port on a paperweight and say it is better than the oled.
There's also the different size of the rear touchpad and grips, but that's not a feature per se.
Don't get me wrong, I love the form factor of the slim Vita, far superior and more stylish than the OLED Vita. Just not a feature in the typical sense of the word.
Sony should release a slim Vita with a normal screen. Which is what the slim Vita should have been in the first place. You must at least understand the fact that the screen on the current Vita technically shouldn't have ever existed. If Sony released a model revision where everything is green, it's not in our place to say "I actually like the green. So I don't see what the problem is." That's like if I said "I actually liked the OLED blotches. So I don't see the problem." If you think the old model is oversaturated, riddle me this, why didn't Sony just release a screen with less color saturation. Wouldn't that have made way more sense instead of making a screen where everything is urine-colored?
If you post a screenshot of a Vita game on this thread, or direct feed footage on youtube, it should look more or less the same on a Vita, rather than being bathed in yellow when actually played on a Vita. The developers of every Vita game made the colors that way intentionally, it's not in Sony's place to change the colors. If the game makers wanted to make it look like that they would have done so in the first place. Gravity Rush is a good example. The game has a very monochromatic motif, it almost looks like it's being played off a slim Vita even when played on an OLED.
or why not just turn the brightness since that decreases color intensity somewhat
even PSP-3000 let you adjust the color gamut. There was no need to release a broken screen presumably on the hardware level with no way to change it. It would literally have made more sense to release a normal screen with an option to change everything to yellow mode. Sony could theoretically release such a feature right now for the OLED vita to make it "just as good" as the crap slim Vita. Whereas the slim Vita, is probably permanently broken and cannot be fixed with a software update.
