I loved my PSP. I really can't believe the resolution was 480 × 272. It seemed a lot more high res than that.

They still look good even now! Though there is a bunch of new IPS displays you can install, these are semi-recent to the PSP handhelds, and while they lack saturation, they reaaaally make up for that in brightness!

...sadly only available (as things stand currently) for the 1000 and 3000 series though

You can see the OEM screen on top here, and the replacement IPS on the bottom:
