New PS VITA LED compared to PS Vita OLED. (Screenshot)

Probably because there was no possible way to get worse than the shit they started with (lol original DS screens). And then they managed it anyway with the yellow 3DS XL screens.

Do people in here honestly think that the colors are incorrect on the OLED screen? The games were designed for that screen. That's exactly how they are supposed to look. The fact that people are pointing out the color differences in the new screen is basically proving the opposite of what you're trying to.

I might buy another OLED vita, maybe a red one. How long do OLED screens usually last?
Considering the PSP 3000 had an LCD screen that fixed the ghosting issues I can't see them taking a backstep on that with a new Vita.

That honestly looks terrible. I'm giving serious thought to buying a spare Vita before OLED stocks run dry...anything to avoid using that god-awful LCD screen.

The OLED is obviously superior, but I feel like this is going to be pretty hard to really get a feel for without being able to look at them in person. I have an OLED and will probably stick with it... gotta buy Vita TV so a slim's not in the cards anyway.
Should still be totally serviceable for people who want an in. If there's any way this is more playable in sunlight, I'll probably get one eventually.

I feel that if you're the type to dislike the LCD screen, you either own an original Vita already or are planning to buy one anyway as a result of the recent price drop. If the new one's not for you, at least both models are close enough in price that you're not getting a bad deal.
As someone who's about to purchase a Vita, I'd be fine with either model, personally.

But it had other problems too: http://news.cnet.com/sony-responds-to-psp-3000-screen-issues/
Sony is not known for using the best LCDs in their PSP line, I doubt that will change here, especially since this is explicitly a cost-cutting move.

Dear God this. The PSP 3000 had a terrible screen in my opinion...

The 3000 fixed the ghosting problem? All I remember from that were the interlacing artifacts

I would bitch about how big the new screen is, but when I grab a Vita TV, my screen will be a little bigger.

With the Vita's resolution blown up to fit your TV.

I think OLEDs last for less than that, since blue OLEDS will start degrading after several thousand hours. However, I'm not too entirely sure.

They degrade after 14,000 hours I think.
Honestly didn't know about that, and I have a psp 3000 it apparently only happens when there is a major brightness shift though.

That could last you almost 20 years if you game 2 hours every single day

Eh, not really bothersome to me. I still play some PS1 games on my TV and the negative impact is next to nil. I'd assume it's sheer convenience and the ability to use a traditional controller, as the Vita cramps my hands.
Bring on the sub HD!
That's a 3000 alright.
But no way is the VIta 2000 going to have a screen anywhere near as bad as that. Heck, people are forgetting that there were other PSP models after 3000, and LCDs have improved even further since then.

Looks great. I'll definitely get this model if I get a vita.
So besides switching to LCD (which still has it's own benefits), the new Vita model is an improvement over the old one. And yet so many people are hating on it just because it doesn't have an OLED screen. I guess once you go OLED, you can't go back. Seriously, what advantages does OLED have over LCD? Blacker blacks? More saturation? Wouldn't having an LCD screen which would look better under direct sunlight and improve the battery life be better for a handheld?
If I were to get a Vita, I'd get the new model. Then again, I've got a 3DS XL so even the LCD Vita would be a huge improvement.

I imagine it's because most people who play the VITA pretty hardcore don't do so very often in direct sunlight. It's either within the comfort of their sofa, bed, or computer chair (read: indoors) which is why (at least to me) the OLED screen would be the better choice. I'm still on the fence though and I really am digging the slightly bigger screen plus new layout.

Anyone have a guess when this will come to the states?

3DS XL is a damn good system though.
I will say, with the upcoming features of using your network to play PS4 games on your Vita, imagine going outside in the nice weather, playing some games on an LCD screen, where you can actually see what's going on. While with the OLED you'd really have to struggle.

Looks a lot closer in the 2nd shot than the 1st. What's up with the green tint in the 1st comparison?

They have, but this is by definition a cost-cutting move so I wouldn't be expecting a high-end smartphone LCD in here. It will be baseline acceptability, whatever that is.
But the new LCD screen is still really good, plus the hardware got a number of other improvements as well. Getting the new Vita model should be a no-brainer.
I know. Heck, the reason I bought an XL over an OG 3DS was because despite the worse screens the rest of the hardware was a major improvement over the OG 3DS. The same thing is happening now with the Vita but people are hating it.

I have friends that think the XL is too big and bulky to be portable. One of them, when he goes to conventions, he spends half the time at least doing street pass bullcrap...
I despise lcd technology. That's why it bothers me. The XL solved a major problem with the original 3ds while the new Vita eliminates one of its best features.

The other problem being is that some games look better on the OG while others may look better on the XL. Cinematics look way better on the XL, but fast action might be bit off considering it would have to stretch to higher pixels.
We would always call him on it. He would always make sure to sneak in every second he could in between guests, panels, and hell, he would walk through the streets of a city looking down doing that.
Well it looks pretty impressive in this video:
Not a cheap LCD that's for sure. And like I said, impressions from Japan have been favourable in regards to (lack of) motion blur.
Yes. Though LCDs aren't great for that either.

I'd rather have the slightly lower vibrancy of LED than worry about OLED burn-in.
