WARNINGS:
-
Test before installation! When you receive a backlight/LCD kit, you should perform a dry run before installing to assure that nothing has been damaged in transit. A dry run or test fit means the kit is not installed in the shell. This includes the use of adhesives, brackets, and any performed soldering. All ribbon cables should have no bends or creases in them. If you are unsure how to perform a dry run, please contact our support team and we will be happy to help. Backlight kits that have been installed are not eligible for replacement or return.
- LCD may break if put under too much pressure or dropped. Please exercise extreme caution when installing.
The important part: The product page here notes a screen testing process in the middle of the installation that cannot be missed otherwise your warranty will not be honored. You are supposed to receive a card reminding you of this process but it appears it is missed in some orders and is not mentioned at the start of the official installation video.
The story: The screen I ordered was defective with an intermittent disconnect on the backlight lines where the ribbon meets the display. Applying pressure to this area results in an image appearing correctly. Despite following all other install steps according to the video because I missed the above mentioned noticed on this product page my warranty was denied by Handheld Legends support.
As for product quality there was of course the issue mentioned above but the backlight bleed on dark backgrounds is rather significant in some areas as mentioned by some other users so if that bothers you this kit is not for you. Other than that the image is crisp and looks amazing.
Thanks for your feedback! Regarding the testing process, the card sent with IPS kits is one of several ways we do our best to inform customers of this policy. While the card should be included, it is possible we were out of them or it was simply missed by our shipping team. We list that testing is required in many other places to assist in making this process known, such as on the product pages, the install written guides, and our refund policy. We highly recommend reading all product pages and any provided documentation thoroughly before proceeding with installs in general to ensure you know what to expect and that you qualify for replacements if needed.
The screen is gorgeous, and installation is relatively straightforward. I believe this is an upgrade that even someone newer to dismantling electronics would be able to do. Pairs well with an upgraded USB-C rechargeable battery pack as it will eat through AA batteries much quicker than the original screen.
I absolutely love this screen. The amount of options is nice. The screen quality is good. Installation is straightforward and not too difficult. Works with any shell pretty much including original. Will be buying again
The screen itself is great but after installing it your left with lot of pressure on the screen. It look like screen is messed up but its really just a fitment issue. I would recommend passing up on this item if you don’t mind a replacement shell and go with a funny playing laminated IPs screen 👌
They sent me a replacement screen with the same issue. This one looks ever worse in the bottom right corner. Do you not have anyone who tests them before you send them out? No quality control at all?? This is ridiculous. You made sure to respond to my review before answer my support email the first time too. Apparently you like to try to look good on the internet without actually delivering a good product. I’d give 0 stars if I could, buy a screen from literally anywhere else
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We understand your concerns and appreciate the opportunity to clarify our processes. As a small business, we handle a large number of products from various suppliers, and while we strive to ensure high-quality items, we rely on our trusted suppliers to perform thorough quality control checks on their end.

We are in contact with you and have agreed to a resolution that seems favorable to you, which we are happy to see.

We also review and respond to product reviews when we can, but these two processes operate independently and don’t affect each other. Rest assured, we are committed to responding to all inquiries as quickly as possible.
The backlight leaks through really bad, even at the lowest brightness. At higher ones, a good chunk of the picture is just washed out. For the price, this was absolutely not worth it.
Thanks for your feedback! Please reach out to us at support@handheldlegend.com so we may look into this further with you.
