Just a word of warning: Intec has at least TWO versions of this item on the market. The first one, labelled as the 5" COLOR GAME SCREEN is an excellent product with a good screen, excellent clarity, and good colors. The second one, labelled as the 5.6" COLOR GAME SCREEN is also by Intec, and DOES have a larger screen, but it is a VERY shoddy product. The 5.6" Screen is nowhere near the same quality as the 5" Screen. If you are buying this product make SURE that you buy the one that DOES NOT have the ".6" added to the product name! I've owned both models, and the 5.6" screen is TERRIBLE. The 5" screen is BEAUTIFUL, clear and crisp with excellent colors and minimal blurring, but the 5.6" version of this screen has washed-out colors, horrible blurring, and makes it nearly impossible to make out what's on screen when there's motion involved.

Do yourself a favor. Look for the Intec 5" LCD screen, and STAY AWAY from the 5.6" version! How one company could make two AMAZINGLY different versions of the same product is beyond me, but don't get wrapped up into the idea that an extra .6 inches is better! Go for quality instead of size!

I bought this little baby because I spend a lot of time on the road. This allows me to play PS2, PS1 and watch DVDs while on the road or on a flight. To remedy the problem of not having a PS2 specific car adapter, like the PS1 has, I simply bought a Belkin F5C400 AC Anywhere DC/AC Portable Power Converter. You can plug your PS2 diretly into this, with the same power cord you would use at home, and then plug the DC/AC Portable Power Converter into the cigarette lighter plug-in.

As far as the screen itself, it does appear a little dark. But I found that if you prop it at different angles, the resolution greatly improves. The sound the little speakers put out is very good, but don't expect to be blown away by them. If you want high performance sound, get some good headphones to hook up to it. Overall, great product! This really makes the time fly on the road!

If you have a job like mine, just sitting on your "tush" and watching cars come and go, then this product is a must!

I was planning to buy a portable DVD player to watch movies and make time go by faster at work, when the light bulb turned on in my head. I said to myself, "Why pay $400 for a portable DVD player, when I have a perfect PS2 at home that plays DVD's. I can save me $300 by getting this Game Screen instead."

So I bought the Game Screen. I took it to work, and "wha-la", worked like a charm. It was fast and easy to hook up, and just as fast and easy to put away. The video was nice and clear with plenty of color resolution. As for the sound, well...it has sound, and does the job of providing it, just don't expect Dolby Digital or anything fancy like that.

As for playing video games. I played NCAA 2003 Football, which took a while for my eyes to adjust to the small players and tiny ball. DVD movies are much better to watch. Another thing that was helpful was that I also purchased a "PS2 DVD Remote Control", which made watching DVD's easier at the touch of a button.

I am very pleased with my new "toy" addition to my PS2.

I bought this monitor more for the ability to watch DVDs on the road than the ability to play video games. The device slides easily onto the PS2 casing and doesn't show any signs of slipping off so far. The sound from the stereo speakers (and the convenient headphone jack) is loud and clear. The monitor itself can be turned off with the speakers left on, which I think is a good idea.

The main drawback is that the screen's brightness control doesn't go as bright as you could want or need. Normally-bright games like "Spyro the Dragon" or "Ico" are very playable. Games with a darker color scheme (like "Metal Gear Solid 2," "Resident Evil" or "Silent Hill") are going to much harder to make out if not impossible.

The slim power converter shown on the box is not the anaconda-choking-on-a-rabbit monstrosity actually packaged inside, but what's an extra pound of weight? Also, take a piece of gaffer's tape and cover up the bright blue light on the front of the monitor; it's very distracting.

Again, a great idea for portable movies. A dubious one for serious gaming.

I took the advice from A Gamer in Grand Rapids, MI and located the 5 inch screen version. I can't compare since I've never used the 5.6 inch version but I can say the 5 inch version is an excellent product. There is now a 5.4 inch version available and I have to wonder if it is shoddy like the 5.6 or good like the 5.0.

Regardless, if you want a self contained screen and sound system that will stay attached to the PS2 unit this is pretty much your only choice. I found that darker games can be viewed better by turning the brightness way up and tilting the screen away from me slightly to improve the brightness. The contrast, screen speed and sound quality of the unit is outstanding. The sound is even more impressive when using headphones. I've had no trouble playing sports games or action games in which some of the screen objects are quite small.

It would be nice to have a battery pack and car adapter for this set up but if and when I need such a device I'll put something together. As is, this makes my PS2 a great lunchtime diversion tool at work.

This screen is so sweet i never thought i would be able to watch movies in the car! All you need to do to hook it up to your car is go to like Radio Shack and pick up a power inverter so u can plug your PS2 and screen into it. Anyway...I got a 5.4 inch screen DO NOT GET THIS KIND.They get distorted and get lines across it,so I exchanged it for a regular 5 inch screen.So now this works awesome.It is better to watch movies then play games on it.Great for the car!

if there are any accessories that you should buy for ps2, it would definitly be the game screen. this is the greatest thing that i ever bought. at first i was debating on whether or not i should get it because of the money and because people have told me so many times that their screen did not work properly when they got it. they said there were red dots and lines all over the screen. finally i just bought one and it is great. there was nothing wrong with it and i can take it anywhere throughout the house and in the car and on the planes when i travel. you can also listen to a cd on it, watch a dvd, or play your games. i highly reccomend you to get it, and if you are not sure about getting one, just go for it, i mean , if it doesn't work than you just exchange it or return it for you money back.

It's pretty cool! Great sound and picture. Don't listin to anyone else, the brightness is fine. It comes with the A/C power pac, A/V cable, and 2 way A/V cable. It has an S- video input. Only thing is.... I can't get my Monster S-video cable, Left/right audio to fit.... got to be able to fit in insted of out. :/ It's alright tho. :) You plug and play! It's tight! It's light too! :> stays on the ps2 nicely! :> I like it and I know you will too!...

If you are going to travel with the PS2, this screen is an (almost) perfect accessory. Its only major drawback is the lack of a dual-socket power inverter, sold separately (look for the Gamer's Power Inverter for around $40). This is ideal for long trips, as it allows kids (or anyone) to play their favorite games and, in conjunction with the PS2 DVD Remote (also sold separately; get the Sony version), play DVDs. The 5.4" screen has an excellent picture (the 5" is also good, but trust me--avoid the 5.6" screen. It has MAJOR resolution and color issues), though adjusting to the smaller screen while playing games can take some time. DVDs look sharp, as good as any portable DVD player, for a substantially smaller amount of money. Great sound, too. For anyone travelling a long distance, this can be a lifesaver.

the intec screen for the ps2 is not a true lcd screen. remember Game gear, from sega, same thing. it's a tft matrix, which means this, your colors will be slightly off, mostly shifted to orange-ish, and it is back lit, so brightness won't be perfect either. the sound is decent. action scenes are a little blurry, dark games are harder to play. I still bought it, it's not a bad product, the s-video helps, a bit. as long as you don't expect plasma tv graphics, you won't be disappointed.
