Manufacturer description
Logo only blurred for photos. Actual logo is correct. 2.2" TFT backlight LCD customized glass lens. The original LCD screen cannot use this lens! The black of the glass lens is made in Nintendo's original color. Close to dark grey. It's not pure black. There is color difference in the picture.
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored Nintendo GBC Game Boy Color TFT Backlight Glass Lens using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro consoles category. Nintendo's retro consoles lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.
Common buyer scenarios for retro consoles of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
