Description
Game Boy Advance IPS
The original Game Boy Advance (GBA) had an unlit, reflective display, but modders have created IPS (in-plane switching) screen kits to give it a modern, backlit screen. These upgrades provide a brighter image, better viewing angles, and more vibrant colours than the original screen or even the improved AGS-101 version of the Game Boy Advance SP.
Factors to consider
| IPS screen | Original GBA screen | |
|---|---|---|
| Brightness | Significantly brighter, with adjustable brightness levels. | Not backlit, making it difficult to play in low-light conditions. |
| Colours and contrast | More vibrant colours and deeper blacks. | Colours can appear washed out, and visibility depends on external lighting. |
| Viewing angle | Ultra-wide, with up to 178-degree viewing angles. | Very limited, with colours and visibility shifting when not viewed straight on. |
| Installation | Requires opening the console and installing a new screen. Some kits are “drop-in,” while others require soldering or case modification. | Not applicable. |
| Resolution | Kits typically feature a higher resolution, such as 720×480, compared to the OEM’s 240×160. | Native resolution is lower. |
| Originality | Modifying your GBA with an IPS screen changes the original hardware. Some modders keep the original screen for the pixel grid effect. | Preserves the console’s original state. |
