Questions about putting an lcd on my game boy color (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I found my old gameboy color, and I started playing Pokémon gold on it.

The thing is, the screen sucks. I see there are backlight mods and wanted to know if anyone has experience with this.

I’m not sure if all the displays made for the gameboy color have the same resolution.

I can only buy kits directly from China where I live, but the resolutions are not listed. I’m worried it’s going to distort the original image.

I just did my gbc and gba and both have been awesome. 100% recommended. You can also get plug and play lithium usb-c rechargeable batteries to replace double a's. I grabbed the bogger displays and pre-modder shells for them and they were really nicely made.
