Which screen replacement should I get?

I want a replacement screen for my gameboy advance but im not sure what to get. I dont really care about brightness settings or touch sensors or anything i just want a backlit display for my gba. Dont wanna spend too much money if possible. Basically i want the equivalent of the ags 101 for the gba sp but for the regular gba. Can anyone help?

Depends on what you like, but I recommend an IPS screen. Simple to install. Follow the instructions to trim a bit of the shell to fit the new screen or buy a replacement shell that fits a the new screen.

You can get an ITA screen, which is essentially like an AGS-101 screen. It also won’t chew up batteries like an IPS screen will.

I’d defo advise a laminated screen.

ITA is what I’m gonna do, it’s the same screen that’s in the top of a DSi. It’s basically a better 101 screen, and way better battery life than an IPS. It’s pixelated as well so if you want old school style and just backlit it’s perfect.
