Laminated AMOLED screen for Game Boy Color: deep blacks and a menu at your fingertip
The original Game Boy Color screen is not backlit and its colours look washed out. This Hispeedido kit replaces it with an AMOLED panel laminated to its glass: each pixel emits its own light, for deep blacks and strong contrast. Settings are handled through a touch OSD menu, without touching the game buttons.
What it does
- AMOLED panel: self-emissive pixels, deep blacks, readable in the dark as well as in broad daylight.
- Laminated screen: the panel is bonded to its glass, with no air gap for dust to settle in.
- Touch OSD menu: a long press on the touch area opens the menu, a swipe of the finger scrolls through the settings.
- Picture settings: brightness, colour modes, retro pixel effects and frame blending are selected on screen.
What it doesn't do
- It does not fit into an original shell without work. You need a Game Boy Color shell pre-cut for a laminated screen: cutting an original shell to the right dimensions is very tricky.
- It is not entirely solder-free: one power wire has to be soldered to the motherboard.
- Games keep the Game Boy Color's resolution: the picture is enlarged, not redrawn.
- It does not change the sound. The screen draws more power than the original unlit one: battery life on AA batteries drops, especially at high brightness.
Compatibility
Game Boy Color (CGB-001) only. Not suitable for the original Game Boy, the Game Boy Pocket or the Game Boy Advance, which have different screens and shells.
Skill level required
Intermediate to advanced level. You need to open the console (tri-wing and Phillips screwdrivers), remove the original screen, connect the kit's ribbon cable, then solder a power wire to a very small point on the motherboard: a fine-tip soldering iron and a magnifier are recommended. Final assembly is done in a shell pre-cut for a laminated screen.

The job: making a Game Boy Color shine
On an original Game Boy Color, the colours are dull and the screen disappears in dim light. You open the console, remove the old screen, connect the kit and solder a single power wire. In a pre-cut shell, the console then displays deep blacks and vivid colours.
The part: a laminated Hispeedido AMOLED panel
Hispeedido makes a wide range of replacement screens for retro handheld consoles. Here, the AMOLED panel is bonded to its glass, with no air gap. Each pixel emits its own light, hence truly black blacks. The menu is adjusted through a touch area, without repurposing the game buttons.
Before ordering: the shell and the iron
Have a Game Boy Color shell pre-cut for a laminated screen, a tri-wing screwdriver, a fine-tip soldering iron and a magnifier for the power wire. Choose the kit finish, black or white, to match your shell. A question before soldering? Our customer service replies within 1 business day.

Why buy here rather than on a marketplace
It is a fair question. Here is the answer, straight.
Every listing is checked before publication: real compatibility, material, dimensions, box contents. Many models never make it into the catalogue.
A question about compatibility, a fit problem, a return: you write, a human replies within 1 business day. In French.
The 2-year legal warranty of conformity is handled by us — not by a form on the other side of the world. And 14 days to change your mind, with no need to justify yourself.
We do not claim to be the cheapest. We claim that you will know exactly what you are buying before you pay.
