Installing this screen was simple enough. Plenty of tutorials on YouTube. The first problem with this screen is that warmth of it also takes away from other colors. For instance, in Pokémon Leaf Green Horsea isn’t blue anymore, the color is more of a cool gray. Also black is never truly black, its more of a deep brown.
This screen is gorgeous. Absolutely pixel perfect. The color tone is just very slightly warm, which is really nice because it's easier on the eyes.
Like the description says, some shell modifications are required. I'd suggest getting a shell along with this so you don't tear up your original shell. The display comes pre-adhesed to a glass lens and was already perfectly centered. The brightness controller is very nice and is 10 stages. The soldering is very easy if you've soldered before and this has the wire you need included. Difference in battery life so far has been negligible. Also this screen works for both 001 and 101 models so you don't have to worry about compatibility.
Overall, I highly recommend this screen and cannot emphasize enough how beautiful this display looks. 10/10
