I'm going to LED mod a PSOne screen for my Gamecube portable attempt. I bought these LEDs, and put the information into this calculator.
Instead of the 30 Ohm resistor-per-LED design, this calculator suggests wiring two LEDs in sequence with a 68 Ohm resistor. Would this really work, and are there any disadvantages?
Also, I read on kyorune's site that LED modded screens aren't as bright, and that the way to correct that (bypassing a capacitor) loses a bit of contrast. Would using, say, 6 or 8 LEDs be better?
For that matter, what's the best number of LEDs for this mod? Four, six, eight? Your advice I'd appreciate!
