DailyRadar Review
We were as surprised as anyone when the PSOne turned out to be such a hot item. We'll admit, we're enamored of its pint-sized build and classy contours, but there's little doubt that a big chunk of the folks who picked one up didn't do so out of need, but the promise of portable PlayStation gaming. Of course, it's not a truly mobile console without something to look at, and to that end InterAct -- like Pelican before it -- has released an add-on monitor. Better yet, it performs beautifully, has a nice, quality feel and finish and is sure to make you the envy of all -- at the schoolyard or in the office.InterAct's monitor features a backlit LCD screen; controls for contrast, brightness, color and tint; and two built-in speakers on either side of the screen. It also comes packaged with a two-prong car adapter -- making it just the thing for lengthy road trips. It screws neatly into the back of the PSOne, and features a pass-through, allowing for both pieces of gear to run off one 7.5-volt power cord. Better yet, it features A/V inputs, meaning that its utility isn't limited to Sony's console alone. And, just because they're clever, the good people at InterAct have included a metal bar, sort of like a kickstand, that'll keep the monitor up -- just in case you decide to use it with some other console or device.
We tested the screen on a number of different games, and we're pleased to say it performed marvelously, a good deal better than Pelican's
