The new PSP features a brighter screen but not withouts its problems

The new PSP which has a brighter screen and a built in microphone (DS anyone) launched on Oct 14 and already people have started complaining about the new brighter screen. The problm as you can see above is the scanlines of the PSP screen are visible and while it doesn't have the problem of the PSP2000 ghosting, it defenitly is annoying to some gamers.

"PSP-3000 has a new LCD device with vastly improved picture quality, achieving a more natural and vivid picture than older models," said the statement . "By improving LCD response time to reduce ghosting, the horizontal-line phenomenon becomes more visible."

"Since this phenomenon is caused by hardware characteristics, there is no plan to fix it with system software update."  Translation " You are Screwed".

That was a statement given by Sony Japan however I'm sure Sony of America might give us a different statement.

"On some occasions, scan lines may appear on scenes where brightness changes drastically, due to the hardware features of the new LCD device on PSP-3000. Installed with this new LCD device, PSP-3000 offers more natural and vibrant colors on its screen, but the scan lines have come out to be more visible as a result of improving response time to alleviate the afterimages on PSP-3000. Since this is due to hardware specification, there are no plans for a system software update concerning this issue."

....Well it seems that this problem won't be fixed anytime soon if it is planned to be fixed at all.
