Game Boy Color

This is going to be a long section. There are a lot of kits. My pick for ease of install, performance, and function is definitely the ‘One Chip’ version of the AIO TFT kit (item #8) but if you can solder, the funyplaying ‘Retro Pixel 2.0’ Laminated Q5 kit (#11) is better in nearly every single way. The former kit is pretty light on features but requires absolutely zero permanent modification to your CGB and is one of the cheapest in the list (of total replacement kits). It requires no shell modding, no permanent adhesive, and no soldering. The latter kit is arguably easier to install as it requires no brackets and technically no custom lens but does require soldering of at least one wire for power (and three more for full features). Cutting an OEM shell is rather difficult for this mod but when combined with funnyplaying’s custom CGB housings, no trimming is required and the install is one of the easiest of all the consoles and kits. While power usage is extremely high with this kit, the performance and appearance is second to none. It comes highly recommended. Neither of these kits are stock sized (but both should come with the proper sized lens). If, for whatever reason, you need a stock sized screen or a screen that’s otherwise compatible with a stock sized lens, any of the 9380 kits are a good option but among those options, the ‘one chip’ kit (#12) may be the only one available. Install will be more difficult than ether of the afore mentioned kits due to the trimming requirement but it will perform as expected and look good while doing it.
