Fantastic screen!

Had a couple troubles installing, but take your time and it'll be well worth it.
Skipped soldering button controls for screen brightness & modes, and happy to report the touch controls work great.
Many levels of brightness, incredible viewing angles and crystal clear picture.
Absolutely recommended. Thanks!

Easy Installation, Great Display

First time Game Boy modder here. This screen kit was easy to install with only a minimal amount of soldering required to get button screen controls, however it is completely optional as the included touch controls work great as well. The fact that this display is laminated also means you don't have to worry about dust getting caught between the screen and screen lens during installation. Definitely can recommend.

Good Screen

Nice screen, instructions don't exactly tell you what test points to solder to, I think I used TP2, TP8 and TP9. One thing though the select button kept shorting on the board near the screen wire. I put some tape over it and problem solved.
Was happy to get it though, seems hard to find this screen elsewhere.
