98% Pure, Lab Grade Awesome
I've had my eye on one of these for ages!
Pros
- GBA in bed, on overcast days, in the Winter, in the shade, etc.
- Beautiful color reproduction.
- Great viewing angle range.
- Comes with helpful spacers for centering during installation.
- Makes the GBA far more versatile and truly Nintendo's greatest handheld.
Cons
- the V1 has some banding during intensive scrolling.
- very precise shell modification is needed for a perfect install, and it is difficult to perform without expensive tools like a drill press (although I managed with flush cutters, an XActo knife, and sandpaper).
- the power draw of the GBA is increased by at least ~50% at default brightness, but this should be expected.
Overall very pleased with this mod kit. My favorite childhood toy is back from the dead, ready to compete with the PSP and 3DS. GBA games just plain aren't the same in emulators -- timing is different and it throws my muscle memory off.
