This LCD is amazing. It makes your Gameboy look how it was meant to be. The colors just POP. My only complaint is that the touch ribbon sensor is on the wrong side and does not reach the IR port properly.
Awesome screen but they changed the wire for the IR sensor to a ribbon. This raises the back enough to keep you from closing the case fully, it's not long enough to reach the IR window, and it's facing the wrong direction. Otherwise awesome product
My only complaint with it was that the brightness adjusting sensor is now connected via a ribbon to the “main” ribbon on the opposite side from the gameboys infrared sensor. Tutorials I saw online said the infrared sensor was the best place to put the touch sensor; however with this new ribbon version the touch sensor wouldn’t reach. Ultimately I just turned the brightness to max and removed the touch sensor. Everything still works and I am still very pleased with the product. The kit is very simple to install. With little experience, It took less than an hour to alter my game boy’s housing and install the new screen. Would highly recommend!
Color and contrast is remarkable and super clear! Easy to install if you just take your time and don't rush it! Test it every step of the way and you'll be good to go! Easy for a beginner like me to install and worth the time and money invested.
Love the display! Childhood me would have lost it seeing something this beautiful. My screen has a weird issue where the last column of pixels displays garbage. I found out through searching that this is an issue on certain motherboards. It's not noticable when I'm in the zone playing. If you experience this, your screen isn't shot. Not sure if there's a fix or not
