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.

Scarlett P. ★★★★★

The OSD menu with 15 brightness levels is super handy—being able to fine-tune it for different lighting is way better than just a simple wheel. I installed it in my old DMG and the Retro Pixel effect looks exactly like the original screen but way brighter. Really happy with how clean the whole setup

Michael W. ★★★★★

The contrast wheel for brightness is such a clever touch—it’s genuinely satisfying to dial in the perfect glow without digging through menus. Colors pop on that Q5 panel, and my old DMG finally feels like it’s from this century. Worth every penny for the upgrade.

Claire ★★★★★

The OSD menu with 15 brightness levels is a game-changer for playing in different lighting conditions, and the contrast wheel still works for quick adjustments. The pixel effect looks just like the original screen but way sharper.
