In 2005, Nintendo released an improved version of the Game Boy Advance SP in North America, featuring a brighter backlit screen instead of the previous version"s frontlit screen. This GBA SP was Nintendo"s first internationally-released handheld system to feature an integrated backlight. (However, there had already been a backlit system years earlier with the Japan-only Game Boy Light, which was essentially a Game Boy Pocket with an electroluminescent backlit display.) The AGS-101 was never officially released in Japan, however, as the frontlit AGS-001 models were still available on the market until the end of production in late 2009.

The model number of the backlit SP is AGS-101, whereas the model number of the original frontlit SP is AGS-001. This can be found on the label at the bottom of the unit.

The mini button at the top center of the console"s lower face is now referred to in the manual as the "Brightness Switch" and selects between two levels of brightness, "Normal" (Low) and "Bright" (High) with no off setting. On the frontlit models this button turned the frontlight on or off only. With the backlight set to "Normal" (Low) the brightness still surpasses the original AGS-001 with the frontlight on.

In 2006, the AGS-101 backlit model also saw a very limited release in Europe.Game Boy Advance-compatible Nintendo DS one year prior. The European version was released in "Surf Blue"

Unlike the North American release, the European box does not feature any prominent text to distinguish the backlit models from the older frontlit models. In addition, only the "Surf Blue" color was unique to the AGS-101, the other two colors "Pink" and "Tribal" had already been released as frontlit models - for these reasons it can be very difficult to identify a European backlit SP. Apart from the AGS-101 model number on the base of the unit, the only other obvious distinguishing feature of the European backlit model is the large picture of the Game Boy Advance SP featured on the front of the box. (The European frontlit models of "Pink" and "Tribal" only feature small pictures of the Game Boy Advance SP on the sides of the box and Flower/Tattoo patterns on the front respectively.)

The AGS-101 Game Boy Advance SP was the final Nintendo handheld to have backwards compatibility with Game Boy and Game Boy Color games in North America and Europe.

GAME BOY ADVANCE, or GBA for short. It`s the second-generation portable game console released on March 21, 2001, featuring a colorful reflective LCD screen.

The GBA screen can only be seen under the sun, or light at night, but it is very visible in high light. It adds a reflective layer behind the screen LCD panel, which relies on reflecting light to support the visibility of the screen, and it`s called a full reflective LCD screen.

The original LCD of the GBA screen is a 2.9-inch 160x240 reflective LCD,40.8 mm x 61.2 mm. now there is no original LCD for replacement. And original LCD is very dark with grey colors.

This enhanced LCD is 2.9 inch 480*720, Panox Display`s convertor board on FPC make higher resolution compatible with GBA circuit board. This makes 3*3 pixels display one pixel as the original display.

As you see, the saturation of color is higher, graphic is more tridimensional. And it can work well even in a dark environment. Panox Display also provides cover glass same as GBA original screen, the user won"t need to cut the shell of GBA.

Whenever I see comparison videos, it"s like the uploader is trying to make the AGS-101 screen look like crap. Maybe it"s just the camera they use, but they make it look like a frontlit screen while the IPS screen looks more like how the 101 screen actually looks. Sometimes you find comparisons that are more honest like this:

The IPS is on the right while the 101 is on the left (or so I assume, since the left one looks better to my eyes). And yet, when I boot up my own GBA SP with its 101 screen, here"s what I get:

Looks a lot more like the IPS screen in the first photo, doesn"t it? I know it"s not the best image, but you can tell it"s not much different from the IPS display in terms of quality. I didn"t use any filters; that"s a raw photo from my Google Pixel 3a"s camera. And then there"s the fact that IPS displays draw significantly more power than the AGS-101 screen does, and therefore shortens the battery life by a noticeable amount.

So my question is: why are these IPS displays so hyped up? Even if they offer slightly more vibrance, is it really worth the sacrifice in battery life? Do the expanded viewing angles really matter when most players will be looking at their system head on? It"s rare for anyone to crowd around a small 240x160 screen in the first place, and that"s the only context it would matter in.

I"m really confused by the varying assessments of the picture quality of AGS-101 and NDS Lite that I see sometimes. Maybe there"s just a lot of variation across different screens for the same models.

In my experience, the DS Lite is not blurry at all, and is crisper and more vivid than the AGS-101 (smaller picture size/higher pixel density helps here). In terms of motion, I rarely notice ghosting on both screens. The real issue is that both screens show raw/saturated colors for GBA games which were designed with the original unlit AGS-001 screen in mind. Strangely, it"s the GBA Micro OXY-001 that has the best screen in terms of color accuracy (and also an even better pixel density due to being so damn tiny). It"s the only console that Nintendo designed with both backlit and accurate colors in mind. Too bad it doesn"t do GBC games, as then we would probably also have accurate GBC colors on a backlit screen, something currently unavailable.

On the other hand, the OXY-001 screen has by far the most noticeable ghosting or motion blur out of all the backlit screens I"ve seen, though I"ve heard of people saying otherwise. Contrast is also not as good as the other two.

If only we could have a Nintendo handheld with all the good and none of the bad! In my dream I see a handheld with the same pixel size as the AGS-001, same colors as AGS-001/OXY-001, backlit, no ghosting (or at least as little as that of the Lite or 101), and GB/C compatibility!

Extremely high quality both screen image and build materials. My only complaint is that the screen is a bit slow to "turn off" the pixels. For example, is you have a black screen with some text showing, when you scroll the text you can still see the "shadow" of the previous line fading for a couple seconds. Nothing major though.

I love it. It"s not quite as authentic due to the higher resolution, but it"s a significant upgrade from the AGS-001 screen. Colours are very bright and the screen brightness has settings from still-better-than-a-001 to ahh-my-eyes. The default brightness is well chosen too if you don"t want to solder, I think it"s level 4 out of 6.

The IPS v2 for this handheld is simply a masterpiece. Colours are vibrant, the screen is super bright and much more warm than AGS-101. Five levels of brightness work like a charm. There is neither screen tearing nor ghosting.

no complaints with your product it works flawlessly, love the screen, adds life to the old “ags-001” gameboy advance SP , however I installed it slightly off center and is annoying me, so will be ordering a new shell for the gameboy SP that is precut to fit the display and will be happy then when it is all perfect and installed correctly.

Installation was simple. My LCD had some dead pixels so I contacted funnyplaying via Facebook. They got back to me in minutes and sent out a new display within the week. Great product and great customer service.

I think you need to take the time to process these screens before sending them out, as mine was put on wonky. One side of the laminated screen is way higher than the other. Now I don’t know if this was a manufacturer issue or QA but I’ll order another one and see what I get. I’ll give you a full review after I’ve installed the new screen. The first attempt I’m not happy with as I feel that I wasted £37 and hours getting it to fit.

The quality of this screen is amazing. Image is so clear and it seems that resolution is higher than AGS101. Also colours are more vivid. The installation is simple, but you need some tools to trim the shell properly, that"s the only hard point.

Was pretty easy for me to install, and really breathes new life into my AGS-001 as you can see in the photo comparing it to another AGS-001! Also love the the 6 brightness settings.

The picture quality is impeccable. It puts my AGS-101 SP to shame, which up until now, was THE standard for GBA mods. For half the price, you"re getting a higher definition picture with no glare, visible viewing angles and flexible brightness toggling (6 levels of brightness). The best boon is the lack of ghosting found in various games, which was an issue with all 101 screens.

I odered 3, and I have only installed 2 so far, on was flawless, and the second has a small section that looks like a small brown circle that is noticeable when the screen is full white (when the gameboy is turned on), so 50% so far are really good, and you may have the same issue

Really fantastic screen, installation is very easy, just requires a bit of cutting and soldering. Laminated display is a huge plus as it means you won"t have any dust ingress giving a clean look.

Very easy process to mod your GBA SP. It took me less than an hour to trim the inside of the screen housing to allow the ips screen to fit inside, and if you have basic soldering skills, soldering that single wire is pretty rudimentary.

I create a lot of custom consoles and have been waiting for someone to come up with a viable alternative to the AGS-101. Well this is WAY more than that, having a super crisp, beautifully saturated IPS LCD that also has SIX levels of brightness.

Don"t even hesitate, get one of these now and turn your old AGS-001 into a console that simply walks all over the AGS-101 in terms of screen quality and performance.

Pretty easy to install... Just a little trimming of the rear shell of the screen. I used flush cutters and it was easy. The brightness control works great and cycles through 6 settings using the stock button. Only problem is that you have to do this AFTER the ribbon cable is passed through the slot in the upper shell. It"s not super easy and you"ll have to desolder it to take the console apart. That is my only small complaint with this kit. The picture is amazing. Everyone talks about the viewing angles, which are great--but who cares? I think the real star of the show is the lack of "scanlines" or borders between pixels. It makes everything look better. Also the screen area is a solid 5% larger, which is awesome. Overall a great product.
