Screen complements the purple retrosix shell very well, accidentally misaligned the screen just a very little. Not really noticeable. Still awesome
For a no name IPS panel, things are looking good for right now. Installing it was a little weird because the connector on the panel was a little too far to the right, pushing the main controller off the edge and impacting the shell. After some finagling I got it to work and fit correctly. Other than that I have no complaints because I haven't had a chance to play any games with it yet. It's definitely an improvement from the non backlit display.
The screen is fantastic. If you're wondering how quickly it drains batteries, it's pretty quick at the stock brightness. I didn't solder the wires to be able to change the brightness because I don't have a soldering iron yet, and batteries that lasted 8 hours previously last 2 maybe 3 now. It's not perfect, but its good enough for this wonderful screen. I would've given it 5 stars, but I can't in good conscience when I paid for the faster shipping and it took just as long as the other package I ordered with the cheaper shipping.
