Have there been any direct impressions from people who have handled both versions at the same time?
Oh, and you're not alone. The masses continue to purchase LCD TVs in droves despite the fact that the technology is out of date. The high sales numbers and low manufacturing costs combined with failure of high-end displays in the marketplace have all contributed to the death of display innovation. People are OK with LCDs.
For those of us who are not (such as myself), it really really sucks. I hate using LCDs for anything outside of work or internet browsing. For media consumption and gaming they are the worst possible option available today.
I would. It's the best screen available for Vita. I don't have a problem buying a second one if I have to even if it's this new screen. I don't think I had any glaring issues with PSP and that was lower resolution.
It's not quite the same in this case.
The iPhone uses an IPS panel with some of the most accurate color reproduction around. It's very good and I prefer it over AMOLED for phones.
New Vita screen looks more than good. Only "glorious OLED master race" will notice any differences, general population wont.

It's about the context. A screen for a portable has very specific requirements. Price (tens of dollars), power consumption, viewing angles, brightness, ambient light reflection, weight, thickness, etc.
Okay Sony.
So why is Sony claiming that OLED TVs are the future then?

That is called viewing angle, something lcd's are notoriously bad for.
LCD
VS
OLED
Look at how oled tv's retain the same color/brightness under extreme viewing angles....
I'd believe Sony if this revision didn't smack of cost-cutting. Good LCDs can rival OLED. But let's be real, this new screen is likely a bulk bought TN POS.
I just hope OLED costs continue to decline. While the tech is far from perfect, nothing starts off that way (look at early plasmas).
Because everyone plays handhelds at a 90 degree angle...
So the people calling this Bs, I hope you all have Vitas because this is becoming a LOL fest.
Do we even know the Price of this vita anyways? Because if the price is still high, then obviously it wasn't to keep costs low.
Even so, this is what happens when you get the luxury treatment from Sony and everyone wants their own way. Everyone wants high quality for cheap and it doesn't work that way. Not saying ips LCD all of a sudden is cheap because all your favorite smartphones have those screens and are the ones winning those "Best Screen award" on various tech blogs for the technology so what's the big deal now. If LCD is now something ugly, dump your smartphone, buy a og vita and start making it your primary mobile device.
It really does look good in that video, I can't notice any difference with my OLED Vita except in different viewing angles, but that is to be expected with LCDs.

Another comparison:
Errrr....
High-end smart phones with great screens cost $400-$800 without a contract.
The vita is region free, right? Might pick one of the 2000's up in late Oct when I'm in Japan for a business trip. Has the US release date been announced yet?
Because everyone plays handhelds at a 90 degree angle...
I googled viewing angles...how do you know that sony is using ips or even s-pva and not just a tn panel since they have the highest response time?That's such a terrible comparison.
That's an old S-PVA monitor from goddamn April 2008. We're talking about more than 5 years old - a millennium in technology years.
This is what a modern IPS monitor (Asus ProArt) has in terms of viewing angles:
Is LCD worse than OLED? Yes, it is worse in terms of black depth and motion performance. How much worse? Probably not enough for most people to care. If Sony has implemented wide gamut backlighting (aka that Tri-Luminous buzzword), it will have similar colour saturation as OLED.
Looking at the video some guy took at Bic Photo, its not the end of the world like some people are proclaiming it to be.
Edit:
You're being even more disingenuous since that's from a Samsung 2493HM. That's a TN monitor (so even worse than S-PVA) released in 2007.

And the vita was only $250 without a contract. It had a great screen and people still said it was too high even though it could function as a mobile device with the AT&T 3G that everyone hated but now the screen is now inferior.. I mean come on.. This happens every time Sony puts out a device. The first one is always bigger and better, people complain, they bring it down a notch to fit everyone's expectations and now it's event worst than before
The vita isn't even bad now. What's even funny is the whole oled was better for gaming, however I'm 100% sure that they play all their games on either a Plasma, Led LCD, or straight LCD as there aren't that many solid Oled tvs. On top of that, all at the same time trying to be experts on gaming screen quality. . It makes no sense.

House: "LCD panel can now realise an image quality as high as that of the OLED"
The five-inch LCD panel at the centre of the new PlayStation Vita will match the quality of the OLED display found in older models, a Sony exec has claimed.

lock if old
Cool story bro

awww, and here I thought Sony had gotten out of the 'lie to sell product' thing.
That's an ips panel. Different than what "LCD" usually means in a product. LED is also LCD technically.
How the heck would an OLED screen smooth edges in psx/psp games?
These are pixels. Not magic.
(I own one and love playing psx games on it by the way).
Because lcd is utter shit compared to oled in every way....
I do wish the Vitas screen could handle ultra bright sunny weather better, but I fully understand and accept its limitations. Here's a photo from my vacation in Mexico earlier this year. The screen brightness is on max in this pic
see my above postSo Sony will be happy if people stop buying their OLED tvs then right? Coz cheaper LCD's will offer the same quality?
How long has the original Vita been out now that Sony's much hyped OLED can now be matched by LCD? Just be honest and call it a money saving change.
I don't know what to believe anymore.
Why are people even mentioning oleds superior viewing angle, its a handheld, you naturally hold it straight in front of you
And all these comparison shots just confuse me
