I remember it came out very late in the UK (Christmas 2002) and topped Official PlayStation Magazine's list of attachable screens, but I was just wondering how it would hold up today or is known for any poor backlighting or longevity issues. I think the screen is about 5" or 6".
Seen a number of new OLED PS Vita's pop up recently on eBay. I do miss my Vita (sold it off) but I was concerned with the longevity of those screens.

I have two of 'em, KK, and they're really good quality. Yeah, the screen is small (5") but games look good on it and I used it loads from around 2001 to 2003. It looks great teamed up with the PSone, too! I haven't used it for quite a few years now, though.
Looking at "recently sold" prices on eBay, that price seems okay/reasonable; they can go higher depending on condition. Of course, it's still quite expensive for an old, small screen! Third-party screens - of which there were a few - go for a lot less but the Official version was generally regarded as being of the best quality.
