Will they be discontinuing the OLED version?
THIS.
OG Vita's design is much better. I'm sure the LCD screen will be fine but after seeing the design. I'll be buying a spare just for the design and OLED.
Yellow screens were quite common with iPad 3 units out of the box, a bit of usage sorted it out: http://iknowsomething.com/hands-on-ipad-3-vs-ipad-2-and-issues/
I suspect those LCD Vitas were fresh from the factory and haven't had any running in.

Looks totally fine to me. Having a buddy order one from Amazon JP for me.
The green tint in this photo is because of the angle. If you look at the screen from above its just fine. OLEDs have a problem with neutral colurs because they need to apply an extra layer over the LEDs to produce white colour. Anyway, the LCDs black levels are very good but there is always backlight enabled while OLED just turns out the diode that has no colour information -> black.
I suspect that that LCD in the OP has had plenty of time for the yellowing due the the glueing process to fade.

Yeah, it is kind of odd. We only have two images. One shows them to be more or less the same and the other shows the LCD to be slightly washed out. Perhaps reposting the good shot would be advisable just to give this context:
Original vita is angled to light and 2000 set to brighter settings.

The LCD looks good in that uncharted picture, but I want to see that compared to the OG vita that isn't washed out by the flash.
Of course its not but there is a difference because in technology, even it its just a small one. And its obvious that the OLED screen had to be removed if Sony cut the price and save some production costs. That screen was one the things why I wanted a VIta in the first place.

Well, that's not even a contest. Will have to go with the old one when I decide to get it.

Oh WOW! So we have two pictures and one shows the LCD to be as good (some say better), but you choose to assume the 2000 has the brightness turned up. Why don't you leave this thread now, you clearly have no intention of being objective.
Not ignoring, but the glare on the 2nd uncharted image throws everything off.

LCD is a display technology (like CRT). LED is type of backlight (like CCFL).
This is display created with LED only
I compared vita/nexus4/NEC PW241 side by side. And vita was near identical to NEC with more vivid colors, compared to nexus4 that was little washed out. Have you even own vita?

Or a matte system for that matter

Just looking at both side by side, I would bet the difference is barely noticeable.
But in motion? The OLED screen is going to have an advantage, UNLESS Sony put in a very high quality LCD, which might minize the difference.

It's a beautiful piece of hardware. The only thing I would change is perhaps making it a little thinner and reducing the size of the touchpad on the back as I often tap it by mistake. If you have Plus or intend to go digital to any significant degree, you'll be wanting a 32GB card with that too.

Your money. Buy the one you think looks better.
Most likely. The LCD is cheaper to manufacture.
It's looking like it will .. LCD is cheaper and they want to cut costs.
Edit - beaten ..

Planning on getting the OLED one. Good thing is that people are selling theirs on ebay real cheap. I wonder if this is the last of OLED we'll ever see on vita?
yup, get that one.

Sony not mentioned this. But if new model has series 2000 and take to according that PS3 and psp has the same series progression (i.e. 1000/2000/3000/4000) and exotic versions has article before series (like psp street has Exxxx and go has Nxxxx) - yes it seems they are perished. They created cheaper version, to cover price drop I assume.

well us in the west dont have to worry because of this
Sony has told IGN that it's currently considering every opportunity, for the PS Vita 2000, although has nothing to announce for the [Sony Computer Entertainment America] territory.

The border for the screen on the new model is fucking hideous. They really shouldn't have changed that.
I'm far more excited for the Vita TV though, as that's just what I want from the platform. I don't think 99% of people buying a new Vita will notice, or care, that the screen is different in quality of image.

Oh my god I need to buy a Vita before they phase out the OLEDs for this crappy one.

This. It's fine, really. I don't notice any blurring it ghosting on my LCD monitor so why would I see it here? I think everyone assumes it's going to be the same crappy screen that was in PSP 3000.
I don't think average smart phone Joe is going to buy one and then vomit when he turns it on. Such exaggeration in this thread.

Disgusting. And to say there were people who were defending the new LED as a strongpoint.

I noticed a typo in the thread title. Should be LCD, not LED.

To be fair, some people have had bad burn in on their OG Vita's. If I was one of them, I would be pretty happy about the new screen as well.
