GBC IPS Replacement Screen Kit

funnyplaying.com has recently released an IPS screen replacement kit for the Game Boy Color.  This apparently uses the same screen as the GBA IPS kit, with a different ribbon cable for the GBC:  https://funnyplaying.com/collections/gameboy/products/for-gbc-ips-high-light-backlight-lcd-kits

Installation requires you to cut plastic on the inside of the case, making it an irreversible mod.  Luckily, replacement GBC housings are inexpensive and easy to get, so I recommend getting one of those as well:  http://bit.ly/gbchousing

One cool bonus is the screen seems to be the same size as the original, meaning you can use the original screen protector, or use a standard (and highly recommended) glass screen protector.  This is a cool bonus, as the previous LCD kits for the GBC has a smaller screen, meaning you either ended up with the LCD’s metal visible, or you had to buy a custom glass screen protector, that seemed to always be out of stock.

I hope to get one in soon and compare it to the original solution, as I previously did with the GBA screens!
