I picked one of these screens up on clearance for $30, and I still feel kind of ripped off. The image quality is just not there. The size of the screen isn't really the problem. It looks like the screen isn't capable of displaying all of the colors in the games' video, and so the colors end up oddly dithered. Plus, the image is a bit fuzzy and faded like a TV with a bad analog connection. The only adjustment you can make is to brightness, which doesn't really help. It's usable with bright colorful games, but for the most part it makes even the best games look terrible. Some people have said that there are two versions of this product. If that's true, I hope I got the bad version.
Also, quality control seems a bit sketchy. The first one I bought was defective out of the box (the picture and sound were terribly distorted unless you pinched the plastic case of the screen together with your fingers. The second one worked, but has an inch-long mark of some kind inside the screen where it can't be wiped off.
Finally, a warning to people who bought their GameCubes after May 2004. The location of the video output on the back of the system was changed when they removed the component video port on these newer machines, and this means that the video cable for this screen will not reach. I have two GameCubes, and while the screen will work with my older model (with component video) it will not work with the newer one. I didn't see anything about this in the screen's one-page manual or on Intec's web site.
I do like the fact that this screen fits onto the GameCube, making a relatively compact semi-portable game system, but the lack of picture quality really makes me think that another product would be a better choice. Given how LCD screens have come down in price since this product was introduced, no one should buy this at full price under any circumstances. If you buy it at a steep discount, like me, it might be usable as a sort of toy (especially since it has an input for other video sources) but even then I can't recommend it very highly.

The worst thing I've ever bought. It started smoking on one of our trips we were afraid it was ruined but it still works . The brightness control is messed up and the volume doesn't work either.Do not buy or you will regret it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I definitely am a huge fan of video game for my Nintendo Gamecube. Nevertheles, I also do know when a additional accessory can be a absolutely big waste of money. That has been the case with this small and portable monitor for the Nintendo Gamecube. The device happens to be convient add-on, but it really isn't worth the money that it is made out to be. Although it would be great if you were playing the Gamecube during a road trip, but to be honest with you, it isn't worth the money it is made out to be. Instead, I honestly would rather place my Gamecube into my home, and connect it to my television.

(...) This is a great product. This screen makes the gamcube completely portable. The screen has brightness and sound control. The screen is not black and white. You can play in the car or play in rooms that don't have a tv to plug into. If you get the battery for the GC, you can use the screen out doors. The only problem is the small size of the screen, but you will get used to it shortly. This is a great product and I recommend getting it. (...)
