The LTT video[1] is also from their ShortCircuit channel, their unboxing/ first-impressions channel and should not be confused with their review content. I personally watched the 54 minute in-depth overview from My Life in Gaming[2], and it was clear that LTT/ShortCircuit overlooked or were incorrect in some parts of their initial impressions. EDIT: Specially in regards to the display, they spent no time at all to experiment with the 3 built-in GBA display modes; if they used the modes that replicated the original GBA or GBA SP (AGS-101) screens, they would've had a more color-equivalent appearance. MLiG in their video spent 10+ minutes on display modes alone.

I watched the MLIG and MVG videos as well. It seems clear that care and engineering was put into the display logic.

They did use the GBA SP mode in the comparison: https://youtu.be/h6l5fAbcim0?t=619 https://youtu.be/h6l5fAbcim0?t=619 But the broader point that the channel is specifically unboxing/first-impressions and not a review is definitely accurate.

There could still be a multitude of other factors at play (backlight brightness, saturation setting, sharpness setting, etc.) > But the broader point that the channel is specifically unboxing/first-impressions and not a review is definitely accurate. Agreed!
