Was so disappointed when I got a new 2DS XL and it had 2 absolutely unusable TN screens. Never really used the thing because of it.

  The aftermarket has always done more for Nintendo's handhelds than they themself have. Aftermarket LCDs make the GBC and GBA truly enjoyable gaming handhelds versus the nigh-unusable messes they are out-of-the-box. The Switch is probably the only real exception, currently; but I could just be ignorant and there are much better mods for it.

    Last Christmas I replaced my old GBA screen with an IPS panel, and holy cow it is like night and day. It made me truly realize how powerful the GBA was, and how beautiful the games could be. Back in the day we played the hell out of them because we didn't have anything better, but the original screens were truly awful even for their era.

      I was an original GBA owner and yeah, shipping such a muddy, non-backlit screen was a baffling decision.
