How is the battery life when this is attached? Also, this is the legit LCD screen, right?

Battery life with this attached is not good, less than one hour if the screen remains on. Even turning the screen on and off significantly reduces battery life as compared to the camera without the screen. Without the screen, in mild temperatures, I can leave the camera on for 2-5 hours taking pictures and video intermittently. With the screen attached and on, the battery would last less than an hour. The screen can be powered off separately from the camera but I still found a major reduction in battery life just turning the screen on and off for intermittent shots. Bottom line, there is a huge tradeoff to having this attached in terms of battery life. It is a a legit LCD touch screen and even comes with a waterproof touch screen cover that allows you to submerge the camera to a shallow depth yet use the touchscreen (when not underwater). It also comes with the solid back door and vented backdoor as well.

I'm going to second J. Fulton on this one - the LCD screen reduces the battery life of the camera to well less than an hour. Great design, awesome functionality, and a beautiful look, however, unless you're sitting on a large stash of batteries and a lot of time to change them out this probably isn't going to be a regular on your kit.

Hi Ainsley - These are awesome devices. The LCD is legit, not sure how long the battery life is might want to check www.gopro.com. Just make sure that you know which model you are ordering. The versions can be very confusing so make sure if you want an ALCDB-304 that is what you order.Thanks Wheelhouse

I wouldn't be too concerned over battery life , haven't had any issue with mine and it gets used frequently . anyway if I remember correctly installing a battery was a breeze .

Well, unfortunately I'm not an avid gamer so I am not on it that often, but I have found that if you have it in sleep mode it does a very good job of retaining power. If I were to estimate, if you played it as much as the average owner, I would say you could get a guaranteed couple days out of it...I might even venture and say three days. Again thats just a guess. You might wanna poke around online and google some sites that will give you some good insight on the battery life. Hope I was able to help at least a little. Have fun and keep gaming! ;)

I have the same laptop, and have been using the battery for about three weeks. So far, so good. The battery life is definitely lower than the original battery, but I didn't keep in-depth stats on the original, so it's hard to gauge. I get about 1.5 hours of life out of this battery when watching movies.

Yes, this is correct. This part is just the screen itself, so if your LCD is still working then this is what you want to buy.

No problem with the battery, t.s. works fine for a resistive Screen, Not good as an capacitive one.

William, thanks for taking the time to respond. I will also let everyone know what kind of battery life we observe. Best of luck to you.ww

I don't mean to contradict the other answers, and yes the screen is connected to the front. Bit if I really epwanted it off, I would pop it off. :)

There is a battery for the display, but otherwise you provide all the power...it's called exercise. :)

Good, I assume. I have been using it 8+ hours/ day for 5 dats a week and I've had it over a month now and haven't had to replace the battery yet.

The battery usually last me about 3-5 hours depending on if I'm streaming video, gaming or just doing homework. The battery is removable and I'm pretty sure you can order a better battery from Dell if you need to. Not sure about the in-home repair though. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with the laptop

Yeah it's not genuine, don't make my mistake, just shell out the extra cash for the real deal, the lack of a battery level indicator makes it pretty frustrating

this is the full lcd screen. Take your time with the connection can be tricky they have youtube videos that can help show you how to change it too. took me about an hour most of the time was in the connection..

The battery lasts for about 4 hours. The screen does have its own light. If that's what your are asking?

it seems like it is a pretty well sealed unit... Im sure you could open it somehow but I wouldnt mess with it. In my own opinion its not worth jacking with. What I do is just charge it up and then unplug it. I've had it for a few months and have only had to charge it a handful of times. It has such a long battery life and then you factor in that it automaticly shuts off after 10 or 15 minutes of non use that it really keeps a charge. I am inlove with my DA-F60 sounds great and looks great. I use it for football parties and outdoor parties and everyone always compliments me on it. One buddy even went out and bought the same one. when I am not using it for parties I keep it in the bathroom so I can jam out to some stevie ray in the morning and put me in a good mood. works great with my samsung Galaxy 3, I would like to get a new samsung tv so I can pair it up for outdoor football games

Works great for me. Super easy to change it with old screen. So I would say yes, as far as I can tell it's genuine.

No. The display will always show the last time it was set to. Do not concern yourself with the battery life because it will last for a long time.
