I'm not really sure if I recommend this "upgrade." Based on the images on the listings I found (including some listings offering to upgrade my PSP if I send it in), I should not be having that issue with the image being shifted up on the LCD. Aside from that issue though, the colors are definitely different and more saturated but I'm not sure I'd call it better. The OEM PSP 1K LCD is not bad so there's already a pretty high standard for improvement. If nothing else, at least the LCD is less than $3 per. It's definitely brighter though.

I went with the "1000 brightness IPS" screen.

For taobao, I generally use an agent to purchase through. I used superbuy in this case but I can't say I recommend them. I am going to be trying out new agents in the near future. 

Anyway, what are your thoughts? Anything you want me to try out with this screen?
