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.

    Absolutely amazing

    I want an OEM modded GBA and this felt like the closest option available with a backlight. I have had the IPSv2 and wasn't thrilled about it. This kit is outstanding and would recommend it to anybody on the fence. Installation wasn't difficult and the screen re-alignment functionality is great. By far my favorite GBA mod I have done so far, highly recommended.

    Amazing! If you like retropixel mode, this is the screen you want!

    I was not sure about which screen to use in my GBA. I love the look of the retropixel modes on the DMG and GBC IPS screens however the GBA IPS screens all seem to lack this feature. I tried the IPS V2 and was not happy with the results. It did not have that retro look. I ended up getting the TFT kit and it’s EXACTLY what I was looking for. The screen resolution is the same as OEM and the clarity is great. An installation tip is to adjust the screen using the **** on the rear of the PCB to the right of the game slot after install. It will fine tune the display and get rid of any scan lines.

    Love it

    The best mix of modern but still nostalgic! Easy install.

    Functions extremely well.
    IMO the best solution for a direct replacement on the AGB. Basically the SP screen with minimal (practically nonexistent) motion blur. Unlike IPS, it's native resolution means you don't need scanlines and pixel blending works as designed for the GBA, instead of being exaggerated due to the higher resolution of an IPS. Simple to install, soldering not too difficult.

    Great but with a caveat

    This screen looks fantastic, is pretty easy to install. The one issue I wasn't prepared for was that * it's incompatible with the GBAccelerator *. I don't have a major issue with that, but it would've been nice going into the build with that info.

    I bought this based on their recommendation and it was the wrong size

    I bought the soft touch GBA shell. In the description it recommends this kit, so I bought it for the ideal fit. I don’t mind having to trim a little of the shell, but I had to trim a lot to get this to fit, and after that it does not sit correctly. So now I have to buy adhesive to get it to properly align. I don’t think it’s a good recommendation, and I trusted Hand Held Legends to help pair products.

    Thanks for your review! If you followed our install guide for the trimming accordingly and this issue was still happening for you, please reach out to us at support@handheldlegend.com so we may look into this further with you.
