The Vita OLED simply has problems with blacks and greys. They look green. There is no denying that the contrast is better on OLED, but it is at the expense of some green tints. It's not apparent all the time - in very vibrant games it is unnoticeable (Rayman for example looks better on Vita than anything but an OLED TV), but in darker, more realistically coloured games like Uncharted or MGS Collection, the green is very obvious, to me at least.
I have pulled up that exact scene in Uncharted on my Vita, and it exhibits the same green tinting from any angle. That said, it isn't as bad in person - but the photo does a good job of highlighting the problem. And you're right - from exactly straight on, the colours do look slightly better, which is strange considering OLED is supposedly the Second Coming and has such great viewing angles...
Glare is not causing the green tinting. The glare is mostly blue, and there isn't any in the lower right portion of the screen.

I dunno, maybe that screen is not that static, lcd and oled are very different in movement.
Nope
NOPE.
Wait thats a psp up top?

A good LCD cost about as much as a OLED iirc. The whole point of this model is to make it cheaper, they aren't going to put a good screen in Vita. It won't be 3Ds levels bad but t won't be as good as the OLED. And no LCD is as good as OLED for gaming.
That's a useless shot as the game does NOT look green on an actual Vita.
Yeah ok. Keep ignoring the green guys.
This whole thread is useless as the difference between the two cannot be properly appreciated in a shot likely viewed on an LCD. Color temperate can be noticed and a difference in saturation to a degree, but the real differences won't be obvious without seeing them in person.
There's no doubt that the OLED will look much much better in person, however.
Would you stop harping on that? It's inaccurate and doesn't represent the game.
Bullshit.
If you're seeing green, your system is broken, plain and simple (or a batch of screens had issues).

This is my only problem with the Vita design really, they sit flush with the main face of the unit, so it's really hard to just feel them out instantly, they just need to be raised a hair.
Actually, the cover for inserting vita carts is also a little annoying. I've had to use a knife just to open the fucking thing and put in a game.

I honestly see no difference except one screen is bigger.
Especially in motion. Really curious how they look with fast paced games. I want a report of that.

That video posted makes me feel like the 2000 got a pretty decent LCD panel. Hug your OGs and "NOPE" all you want. We won't be seeing OLED in Vita again.

Speaking of the cart cover, I'm wondering if the cover on the new model doesn't cover both the cart slot and the mystery port. It looks a little big for just the game cart slot to me.

Or you're just not seeing it. I've looked at several Vitas and they're all identical to mine, all showing green tinting in the greys and blacks.

Looks p. good from the video. Like someone else said, not as striking as the OLED, but not as terrible as the RAO screens.
I'll probably just pick up whichever I can get cheaper once Dangan Ronpa is out.

I appreciate the effort for comparison, but pics of pics viewed on your monitor is not the way to do it. OLED is pretty amazing for mobile gaming - not sure why they feel the need to do away with it.
I do think the OLED looks a little better color-wise, however I didn't realize the new one had a bigger screen. Plus the redesigned buttons annoy me (as in they are better imo). I have the first version and I love the system, and much like the PS3 will probably be happy to have the "dropped feature" - but I do wish I had those better buttons. Oh well. Not the best comparison shots either as others have said.

Gotta find a decent deal on an OG Vita before they restock.
It's telling that the 2 shots that we have seen are very very different. Does not seem possible to see the quality from off screen because there are too many variables, especially when someone is trying to hold them both.
Lets be real though LCD probably is not going to beat out the OLED but I doubt it will look terrible like people are assuming it will.

Any green tint present is nowhere NEAR as exaggerated as that shot suggests.
Here's a picture I just snapped with my phone camera of the Vita screen in that exact same spot. You can see that there is no such green effect present.

Load white picture on your vita and you will see, that there is no green tint.

Well, there is only one supplier, Samsung, which makes the Vita OLED screen, while there are many that could provide the new LCD screen. So I think that even with a good quality LCD, it's still going to be significantly cheaper for Sony than using OLED.

As in the bottom screen is from the new LCD one right?
What? No, that's a photo from my Vita (as in, the OLED model). I'm simply demonstrating the lack of a green tint.

I mentioned that.
But there is. I can see it in your photo. :/Here's a picture I just snapped with my phone camera of the Vita screen in that exact same spot. You can see that there is no such green effect present.
When did I say white has a green tint? This is not a discolouration like the yellow seen on iPads. This is the way the OLED displays blacks and greys. There is no tinting across all colours, no discolouration in the whites.

Oh ok. Are these literally the only comparison shots we have of the two (sets)?

I think I read somewhere that the blue oled will start going out at around 40k hours at max brightness. Or 15 years of 8 hours a day
that's for the tech itself though, I can't confirm what quality Sony is working with here.I think the first picture is pretty telling that the new LCD will suffer the fate of most average quality LCD screens and have a bad warm temperature/yellow tint to it. Uncharted picture is not as good if a comparison. Not shot as close and doesn't feature any real whites to compare, not to mention the new picture a gaffer just shot above pretty much rules out any of the "green" complaints.

Wow, I got the two mixed up when I first looked at it lol.
I'll wait for more screen shots to get a feel on the screens. Maybe more professional shots.

It's no more green than the LCD shot and so subtle that it hardly matters.
Heck, my shot has less green tiny than either of the other two.

I guess you can take an ingame screenshot and compare it to your off screen image to see if its adding any extra green tint.

I think this is just a ploy by Sony to sell OG Vitas.
But nah, I don't think the LCD model looks bad at all. Still not giving up my OLED, though.

Ok, I will do photo of black/gray background, when I will be at home. But I never noticed any tint.

This is quite possibly the most useless comparison thread of all time. You are relying completely on the camera phone that is taking these pictures, which has its own rules for manipulating color, exposure, white balance etc. Just silly to compare two photos of a screens taken with a camera phone to see which screen is better.

I'll be holing onto my Oled vita for awhile. Hell I almost want to go grab another while they're still available in stores as a back up.
