    I was just wondering if it would be possible to use the LCD screen out of a old Sega Gamegear in my PC, I've looked at the prices of LCD's and they are a little too expensive for a a decent graphical one.

    Then I noticed I have a Sega Gamegear and thought 'Can I use the bits in that?'

    Has anyone got any suggestions?

    Find a TV tuner for it and use the input on that.

    I have one and did it with the tuner, the screen is crappy and everything is too fuzzy to read.

    Cheers for the reply!

    I'll try that, I was thinking of putting the full thing in my computer (mini console as well!) but decided against it.

    I think this is because of your desktop resolution, its too high you muct turn it all the way down to 800x600. The reason is becvause your TV can only display at some resolution thates even lower than 800x600.

    I can read everything perfectly if I use the TV-out on my graphics card when the flicker reduction is set to max, otherwise it's very difficult to read, so I suggest you try this.
