Super quick and easy to install. The only criticism I have is the puctures in the guide are not for the current verson of the mod (they do have the difference in the text of the instruction).
Great quality backlit screen and affordable with an easy installation
Awesome quality and super easy install! Good luck keeping those AA batteries alive though with this power sucker of a screen haha! Might be time to consider a rechargeable battery for the Pocket 🤔 Thank you Retromodding!
It's a great screen, does the job, nicely lit, and was quite easy to install! My only couple complaints is that the screen is smaller than the original screen but that's not a big issue, and my second complaint is more of a request and that's to have a way to wire the brightness control to the contrast potentiometer (If there is already a way to do this I have not found it but please let me know.)
<p>That's great to hear Roger, thanks for the feedback!</p>
<p>The screen is indeed a bit smaller. Sorry for the inconvenience.</p>
<p>For the controller, it's not possible as far as we know!</p>

How can I review it when it was never delivered????
Hey there!
We are sorry to hear you did not receive it yet, shipping times are longer in this time of the year.
From what I can see, it was delivered to your mailbox this afternoon! Have fun modding your next project!
