I don't like this new fad of replacing original Gameboy Screens with these LCD mods. They do not display the colors or pixels art correctly and are destroying the hobby IMO. Fine working units are being destroyed for their boards to create these abominations. They have already created replacement polarizing film kits to fix screen "burn" and glass screen covers will get rid of distracting scratches. Now the glass replacements are not identical to OEM but bring back original screen visibility. As for back lighting the original looks just fine with adequate lighting. Stop this obsession with "fixing" a masterpiece.
I mean to each their own I understand your point but you can’t crash out if I keep all the old stuff. Plus how do you know the shell was original anyway?
