If you're looking for a crisp, full-sized backlit LCD for your Game Boy, look no further than this IPS LCD kit. This kit contains everything required to give your old DMG a bright new display. In addition, the viewing area is the same size as the stock display, meaning no special lens is required!

The DIY kit will provide you with all that you need to install this LCD, and will require some soldering for the Game Boy speaker(not included). 

If you're looking to go all the way with refreshing the look of your old Game Boy, check out our shells, buttons, and glass lenses

Documentation

  • The kit includes a bracket, but we also have our own in-house "upgraded" bracket, available on our Thingiverse

Notes

  • This is an aftermarket product and may not feel identical to its genuine counterpart
  • We strongly recommend testing the display before installing it in your Game Boy. Please confirm the kit is working before connecting the tape, bracket, and LCD. We are unable to accept returns on kits that have been installed in a console.
  • Too much pressure can permanently damage the screen and result in rows of dead pixels. Do not force the shell closed around the LCD.
  • Some minor shell modification is required, involving cutting the screw posts on the interior front of the shell. This trimming can be accomplished with a pair of side cutters.
  • On-screen battery display is a rough estimate, and may not be accurate

Warning

  • LCD may break under pressure or if dropped. We recommend you exercise care when installing this product.

The best display for your old school game boy

I couldn’t be happier. And installed perfectly and easily, and it worked better than I had hoped! Retro Modding is my new favorite store thanks to their great service and fast shipping.

It's okay.

Not bad if you are wanting to use an original size lens. I really don't like the black border around the display though, it's too big. It's also lacking a bunch of features that the V4 had. In my opinion the V4 is far superior if you don't mind using a lens with a larger window. It does however work great!
