The LT screen is identical to the PCE Duo Monitor, just a little more expensive!

So wait. Lemme get this straight.

The LT does not have batteries. The LT cannot play CD games without an add-on. The LT has a rather awkward looking controller. And it is more expensive than a duo.

So really, it makes no sense to buy an LT; just get a car adaptor and monitor for your duo and take that instead.

An LT is much more compact than a Duo with a monitor attached :D . Also, the LT has a built in antenna for watching TV and has a controller port if you wish to use a controller.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

An antenna for a television standard that (will/is supposed to be) gone by 2009, and it won't fit in my pocket.

I'm gonna start looking for a duo monitor now.

Terestrial television kicks ass!  :mrgreen:

By the way, I think you could fit an LT in your pocket if your pockets are loose enough. I haven't held a LT personally, but it seems to be the same size as a PCE which I have fit into my pocket before.

The LT does not have batteries. The LT cannot play CD games without an add-on. The LT has a rather awkward looking controller. And it is more expensive than a duo.

So really, it makes no sense to buy an LT; just get a car adaptor and monitor for your duo and take that instead.

The LT is the coolest piece of video game hardware, ever.  (note, I didn't say best, just coolest).  It's the same footprint as a PCE, serves all the same functions and hooks onto all the same attachements as a PCE, and has a built-in, fold down, generously sized LCD screen with a TV antenna.  It has a normal controller port, but the full fuctions of a PCE controller are built into the system.  You can hook this thing up to a CD interface/super CD unit and play the games on the LT's screen.

Now, the one drawback was you needed on AC adapter for the LT and another for the CD unit.  I know they made a battery pack for the duo and a car adapter.  Two things I don't know:

1.  If the Duo battery can be used on a LT/CD system.
2.  If they made a car adapter for the CD-rom units. (they did for the LT) Or, can the DUO car adapter be used on the CD Interface or SCD unit.
