      Aurora N. ★★★★★

      Finally playing my old carts on this screen makes the colors pop like never before—the viewing angles are incredible even in direct sunlight. Installation was straightforward and took me about an hour, and now my Game Boy Pocket feels brand new.

      Adam ★★★★★

      Got it installed over the weekend and the viewing angles are just unreal, you can actually play it lying on the couch without holding the screen perfectly straight. The colors pop so much more than the stock screen, it feels like a brand new console.

      William I. ★★★★★

      Installing this was straightforward, and the colors on the IPS panel are so vibrant it feels like a brand-new console. The viewing angles are fantastic, no more squinting even when I’m playing at an awkward angle in bed.
