    WARNINGS:

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.

      Andrew X. ★★★★★

      The OSD menu is a game-changer — I tweaked the brightness and color saturation perfectly for each game without needing a separate controller. Install took about an hour with the pre-soldered ribbon cable, and now the screen is crisp from every angle. Old screen looked washed out next to this, night

      Nicholas ★★★★★

      I was worried about soldering, but the ribbon cable and bracket made installation surprisingly straightforward. The OSD lets me tweak brightness and color on the fly, and the viewing angles are night-and-day better than the stock screen.

      Carter B. ★★★★★

      The colors pop so much more than the old screen, and the viewing angles are genuinely night and day—I can play lying down without any ghosting. The OSD menu makes adjusting brightness a breeze, and it’s the best upgrade I’ve done to my handheld in years.
