FWIW the epath screen does look better when running duke nukem 3d at 640x480 compared to 320x240. Not sure if that has anything to do with the screen though, just might be how the downscaling hits our eyes differently.

No more info?
I already sent _N0x a PM... but no answer yet.

Wat wondering if the screen is really that resolution, and if it would fit the GB case....

Got this screen (mentioned in this thread) from China today. Very small controller and separated buttons which is nice. Description said 640*480 but I guess it is 320 (not sure how to test it). But description said also 12V but did work without modification:

It's free shipping worldwide but you have to wait 3-7 weeks. But for this price, I have no problems with it.
