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.

If you can solder two little dots you’re good.

Test it first, works as advertised!

almost perfect

The only reason this isn't 5 stars is that the aftermarket (obtained from HHL) shell does not fit properly with this kit: the "contrast" wheel--used to control brightness and change settings in the OSD menu-- will not turn once the case is asssembled. The problem is not the hole at the side of the case but that either the case isn't deep enough or the wheel sticks up too high off the Front PCB and rubs against the back PCB. Loosening the screws a bit helps, but I will have to file down the top of the plastic contrast wheel or live with a case that is a little loose. This is a pricey kit and standards should be higher; I would let this slide if I got this for $40 from some Chinese seller on eBay, but I've come to expect better from HHL.

Good choice

Sweet little screen really breaths new life into the whole system. Paired it with the retro six power management board and audio amp with a new speaker and it’s awesome. Really beats searching for sunlight!

Great LCD - Works Overclocked!

This is a great IPS LCD Upgrade kit. It drops into DMG Prestige IPS ready shells. Bracket is great. I did have to mask the it significantly to reduce light bleed.
The adjustment wheel switch is great and makes for easy and quick configurations. I found that I had to reduce shell tension to prevent the wheel switch from sticking/not operating.
Best of all is that this screen works with over clock crystals! The screen gets a little glitchy but it works and has been play tested for hours now. Infact the DMG I built with this screen is the only DMG I can also boot flashcarts while overclocked. It's a beautiful thing.
