Gamecube Screens

[Gwyn400]

Is this 4Gamers 5.6" screen (clicky) or this Joytech 5.6" screen (clicky) any good for portable Gamecubes?
I assumed they would be seeing as they are designed for Gamecubes but I have seen no mention of them being used for portable Gamecubes anywhere. Is there a reason for this? are they not very good or is it just that cheaper screens are available?

I would assume that they aren't very good and there probably are cheaper screens out there.

@Gwyn400 Yeh those screens are not the best to use with a GameCube Portable. If you want a decent screen you probably want those 3.5" or 4.3" TFT LCD, or "Backup Monitors." You can find these on eBay, just search "3.5 tft lcd" or "4.3 tft lcd" (no quotes). Dealextreme.com also has these and tons of other TFT LCDs. If you really want to go extreme then I would suggest a 5" Dalian Good Display and using an Official GameCube Component Cable. That will give you the best picture quality on a GameCube, 480p. It all depends on what you want and how your portable is going to look, along with how much money you want to spend.

I've decided to use the Joytech screen anyway because one came with the Gamecube I ordered and this is more of a practice portable anyway.
Would I be right in thinking that it will be easier to use than the backup monitors seeing as it already plugs straight in to the gamecube and uses the same power supply?

No, not when you remove the port and power supply.
