Original Vita vs Vita PCH-2000, which one do/would you prefer?

I wouldn't mind the LCD screen for the potentially better use in bright, sunny areas. Beyond that, the new Vita doesn't offer enough incentive for me to upgrade. I use a Nyko Power Grip to double my Vita battery life already.

I think the current Vita will be good enough to hold me over with a 64 gig card until Sony eventually (hopefully) comes out with a Vita phone/tablet.

The size and weight is not much of a factor to me, It's nice to be a bit lighter I suppose but not essential. More battery life is always good too but I have charging point at home and at work so I can do without.

The screen is the real deal here. I will wait till I see how the LCD perform in real life before jumping to conclusion, however, I must admit the OLED is the first thing that strikes me on the OG Vita. Coming from 3DS/DS/Gameboys/Neogeo pocket, that oled is so glorious its almost unreal! the LCD will have a hard time beating that.
 
Would anybody happen to know where I can get a white Vita relatively cheap? Been really itching for one, but I don't want to spend too much.
 
I don't really like OLED because the color accuracy of AMOLED in Samsung Galaxy (S_, Note_) is pretty bad for me. (Too greenish/bluish&bright/ greenish white problem, etc.)
So, I probably go with #TeamLCD

Btw, google IPS(a kind of LCD) vs AMOLED to see differenences
 
I'd love to see a comparison of the two screens.

If the LCD isn't much worse than OLED, I'd go for the the slimmer new one with the better batt life.
 
For some reason I was thinking the new Vita was larger, and had to double check to be sure.

I'd have to see and hold it, for now it'd be the current Vita but LCDs HAVE gottena lot better and there's quirks about OLED that bug me. If it's a good IPS display then I'd probably prefer the new one actually, especially with the Home/Start/Select buttons being so much bigger.
 
If the LCD holds its own against the OLED of the original, I will probably get a 2000 in white.

I really love everything about the new model, I just hope they get the screen right! (And that the white one comes to US!)

What kind of LCD is it? Some LCDs can easily outclass OLED.

Well, the logic dictates that they make the LCD version to drive Vita's prices down, to create a cheaper product for the masses. Do you *really* think they will put an LCD that can outclass OLED in that sort of situation?

Well, part of it can also be if cheaper, higher quality (at least in some regards) LCDs are now available, as the OLED may have too marginal of a gain with the disadvantages canceling out what gains there are. Certainly I don't think I'd mind if I had an LCD like the iOS devices have, though it'd be a disappointment if it were on the level of Nintendo's LCDs.
 
I think the LCD is appealing. I like the increase in battery life and that it is thinner and lighter.

But it's not so good that I'd trade my Vita for it.
 
Even discounting the OLED difference, seeing how the build quality of the original PSP 1000 to 2000 indicates the cost cutting measures that Vita would likely go through, it's even more reason for me to prefer OG Vita.

Well, similar happened with the PSP-1000 to 2000 but I still preferred the 2000 in several ways. 1000 just felt too bulky and the controls were shit, though the Vita-2000 still has those tiny buttons and the original did have an amazing D-Pad and sticks so I don't think I'll see the same improvement on that front.

at the very worst it'd be whatever the latest psp lcd use, although I really hope it's better than that, I used to compare PSP 3000 screen with Vita oled, the difference is huge, after experiencing Vita Oled, you really can't go back to PSP LCD again, I even re bought MGS Peace Walker digital so I could play it on Vita instead of my PSP.
 
lol people need to calm down.... we need to see pics first. found this while googling

the pic above is PSVITA vs PSP

Now we have to wait and see how much difference the PSVITA 1000 vs 2000 yields
 
OLED beats any of the advantage the new one could have, so...

I'm getting one this holiday btw, I'll move my intent to purchase a PS4 to next year, once it's library gets eh... decent enough.

Oh, no doubt there were improvements on 2000, especially the D-pad responsiveness, diagonals were damn near impossible on the PSP 1000; though luckily controls aren't really that issue with Vita. That being said, 2000 material build quality was really cheap in comparison to 1000; the complete glossy black didn't feel or look as good as the more matte finish of the original.

Pretty much, on paper OLED to LCD sounds a bit shit, but we have 7 pages on this thread of "OG Vita is better" when we really haven't seen the new screen in action....

yeah, with Sony, buying 1st version of the hardware has some merit, they go all out on their first hardware release, sold it at loss, and then focus on cost cutting for the revision until the unit is profitable.
 
new model is more appealing to me. the oled screen didn't really impress me and 3G is entirely useless to me. my hands aren't that big either so the original model wasn't all that comfortable when i tried it.

On internet pic the Vita screen seems comparable to PSP 1000/2000/3000, in reality, and I have them all, the Vita OLED screen is mile better than any PSP has to offer, it's not even funny the comparison is even mentioned.

Anyhow, not that the screen on PSP is a benchmark for the Vita2000 anyway, let's wait and see. ;-/
 
The first one. LCD pales to the inky-black, vivid color pop of OLED. This news makes me want to get another OLED Vita as a backup.
 
Can we get one of these things in our hands before we all go mental and write it off?

Let's assume that the LCD is slightly worse than the OLED... A more interesting question would be:

Would you take a tiny drop in visual fidelity for better software support?

If more handheld vita (lcd's) and vita tv's are in the wild, it can only help this platform.

For the record: I've got a red, imported vita and the OLED screen is badass.
 
Wow, in that comparison video, it's immediately apparent that the LCD looks like shit compared to the OLED.

I honestly don't understand why some people say LCD outclasses OLED. Outclasses in what? Certaintly not in picture quality.

PSP looks like ass. I've compared my PSPGo to my Vita... Vita makes the PSPGo screen look like a Game Boy Advance LCD.

It'll be similar with OLED vs LCD. The LCD they're putting in the Vita (ESPECIALLY if it's a TN) is gonna look like a pornstar's used bootiehole in comparison.
 
Original Vita due to the screen, I already have a lot of memory and battery power isn't an issue since
I don't actually take it outside of the house.

Indeed. Sony might not even use Super LCD. They are saying 'best in class; as far as mobile devices go'

However, Anandtech has this to say (emphasis mine):

Sony is also making some internal changes, certainly the most controversial of which is replacing the Vita’s 5” 960x544 pixel OLED screen with an equivalent size and resolution LCD screen. Unfortunately as is the case with press conferences we don’t have any immediate details beyond what Sony has put in the conference, but looking at the video of the announcement there appears to be some color wash-out occurring on the off-angle Vitas, which would indicate that we’re looking at a TN screen.

Here is one of the conference videos (skip to 6:10):

I'll have to agree with the initial assessment seeing how the screen becomes dim quickly when the angle change even slightly. If it's TN, then it's a crime. Not only are the viewing angle limited but the colors are crap in that kind of LCD. I thought that type of display died a deserving death a long time ago.

Some captured images from the above video:

We need to find a video of the OG Vita on stage.
 
It really depends on the LCD that the new Vita will use.

If its a crap TN LCD than the OLED will probably be better.

If they use really good ips with good color and high brightness like the ones used in latest flagship phones, than it will be better than current Vita's OLED.
 
I can't imagine not having the heft of the Vita I have now, but I'll probably end up owning the slim, too, since this is what I've chosen to focus my old collecting habit on.

I love the way the white OG model looks, but I hope Vita TV comes in black at some point, to keep everything color coordinated.

They should also bring out a way more expensive, luxury Vita for just a few of us lunatics. HDMI out, TV docking station, USB port, built in 64GB, double battery life, better cameras and speakers, possibly a UMD slot etc
