do you think possible to create a cheap DIY TG16/PCE LT withTG16 rgb booster plus a psone screen ( or other lcd monitor),  via rgb, optimal picture quality would be achieve, plus 1999 lcd tech was much better than 1991? if the psone lcd screen is still price ( esp when hacking it and dismantling it), any

or try this ps2 monitor which probably handle ntsc rgb,

then maybe a 3d print for the casing/modified bracket for the ttp rgb booster and lcd screen

I presume it won't be a compact  ( lengthwise), but probably much thinner profile than original pc engine lt, do you think it's possible, could we see a DIY under US$300/HK$2500/GBP200/euro230  diy job pc engine with a large portable screen

Yeah, I did a PS1 lcd to Duo hack a while back and posted it on here. TG could be done pretty  easy.

I think there are modern options of cheap portable screens, but this retro (seems to 1989 based on the Gameboy lynx and white pc engine) is interesting and probably inspired the LT (which is strange that there were no official portable power supply)
