    So turnkey…

    Everyone has been so impressed that I modded my DMG screen. Little do they know how easy it was! Soldered 2 wires and Handheld Legend did the rest of the heavy lifting! Genius product 🔥

    Fairly easy install

    The install went as smoothly as the installation videos depict. Highly recommend adding the usc charging. The only unresolved issue is the dial on the DMG becomes stuck in the case.

    Super Cool

    This screen looks amazing! The options are nice too. I had to trim down some of the rubber square on the display board to get it to fit properly, otherwise the settings wheel was getting caught in the shell. It was overall pretty straightforward to install. Side note I am getting an audible buzzing sound when the boy is on. I installed an extra capacitor to the power circuit, it seemed to reduce the buzz by only a little. Open to suggestions on how to fix that.

    Beautiful replacement screen

    I have a box of Gameboys with dead screens that I’ve had sitting around for years so I finally decided get them working now that we have great replacements available. I decided to try this one first as I liked the inclusion included a picture of an old backlight mod (left) compared to the IPS screen (right) and it’s amazing to see how far we’ve come in the last 10 years. This is installed in a FunnyPlaying shell and fit fine but the screen is a hair small because of the bigger cutout because the shell and lens are design for a screen that’s 11% larger. I don’t mind that I can see the sides of the screen but this may bother some but this can remedied by installing a standard less instead of the FunnyPlaying lens I used.
    The OSD has some great features. I love being able to change the colors of the screen and the pixel mode makes it look more like the original display. It’s a bright, crisp screen and I have t noticed any issues with latency. I’m very happy with my purchase and will like buy a few more to revive other Gameboys in my parts bin.
