How easy is it to see the screen, and is it backlit or not?

I was going to get an NGPC awhile back, but the shit that is the GBA scared me away from all portables without good lighting.

Yes it is easy to see, but not without a light. One simple light is enough, you don't need allot of light tough. Don't got a wormlight, since its said to be sheet, I always play under a desk lamp or with the sun light ;) And the NGPC isnt backlit.

EDIT: Mr. Kevums beat me to it :mad:

It's a hell of a lot easier to see. At least with NGPC you can play with moderate light. With GBA you need a damned halogen lamp to see anything.

I've had a go on a Gameboy Advanced and it was very easy to see the graphics and stuff, but i did have a go in a very well lit room....
on the other hand, the NGPC isn't backlit either, but i could play it in my car on a very over cast day and still see the screen pretty well....the colours were just duller...

I dont know, but i've noticed that the screen on the NGPC tends to have a chrome/metal look to it when its turned on, does this effect the visibility of the screen??........if not, it looks neat!!! :D
