Game Boy Advance SP V5 3.0 Inch IPS LCD Backlight Kit with Laminated Lens and OSD - Hispeedido

I’m so happy that IPS screens have reached a point where you can simply drop them in without physically modifying the housing shell. It took me less than an hour to install.

The clarity is night and day—it's almost like how I remember playing Pokémon and Sonic nearly 25 years ago!

I know how to solder, but I just connected the ribbon cable normally.

My only complaint is that the black screens aren’t true to color. They give off a dark, burgundy-ish hue instead. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my unit or the entire product, but overall, I’m satisfied.

This screen is the best made yet I was happy with the screen even though I has other issues with my order. Will order this sceen again but not sure about other items.

the screens are very crisp, but compared to my other ips screens and the stock backlit model screen this one is noticeably blue.

Loved how it really was just a drop in screen, no soldering required but will be doing it in the future!

This was a great experience. 9/10. The GBA SP is a very easy Game Boy to do this kind of mod. First, you can use the battery to dry test the LCD. I put a cart in and verified no dead pixels. Second, the screen fits perfectly. I didn't need to buy an aftermarket shell (haven't had the best luck with those) or get out a rotary tool to cut plastic. 3rd, the on screen display menu is cool - like others have said, the retro pixel look is nice.

What HHL did well: Packaging, Instruction Videos (mostly), wire they sent for the OSD was the right length.
What HHL could have done better: They took a while to ship - but they notified me they were busy so I was prepared for it. The Dry Test guide is not for the SP. You can use the GBA SP battery to dry test. The video and guide were mostly helpful but both failed to zoom into the solder port that's actually ON the ribbon cable. Both the video and the guide called out the other port, Q12B but they didn't say anything about the port on the Ribbon Cable. I could kind of see from the video which one he soldered to. Now I realize that there is an image of the guide that zooms and it's very easy to see which port - but definitely an oversight that there isn't at least a sentence saying that.

In terms of delivery everything was handled well. The product itself was not what I expected. It didnt come damaged but i noticed that this specific product has a slightly blueish tinge in comparison other ips screens.
