The kit works amazing, it is bright, vibrant, and I enjoy the different color pallets I can choose from, although they dont get used too much by me. The instalation prosses on the other hand, was so stressful. I heard how it was super fragile (IT IS!) so I was extra gentle, and that took a while. The screen also does not line up with the optional brackets, so I found I had to mark it off with tape first, but that was a little gripe. Once it was installed, it works AMAZING, I used it almost every day for the past few weeks, and it works wonders, but be aware that there is some weird ghosting going on in some games, namely the water in Metroid II, and the balls in 3D Pocket Pool (who even plays that anyway lol 😄) the one thing that caused my experience to come to an end was that I didn't realize I had a finger print on the screen until a few weeks later (10 mins ago), and as someone with mild OCD, that was so bothersome that I wanted to quickly. I went to remove the display to clean it and POP, the display broke right infrount of me, and in my haste to see what damage had been dome, I pulled up on the ribbon cable, and promptly proceeded to tear that xD. This all happened just minuets ago, and I am writing the review to say that even through my anger at the fragility, I am STILL going to shell out another 60$ for a new kit because once you try the mod, you can't go back to the old screen. (Litteraly so, if you are like me and tried to see how the old screen worked, promptly snapping it in two, like I said, I am not an expert here)
Easy install, I watched a few Youtube videos to make sure that I got it right and followed them and it worked like a charm.
