WonderSwan Color IPS LCD Kit

Night and Day Difference

This kit has every part you need and more. it is a drop in solution that requires no modification and minimal Soldering skills. Expect bright contrast with no screen tearing as the aspect ratio is true. Easy brightness adjustment and color pallette change for games that are black and white. The sacrifiece of battery life provided a higher milli amp rechargeable battery is worth the trade. One 2200 battery runs on average brightness for about 2.5 hours. This is just fine given the backlight and one 1.2v battery. In my opinion a great kit for the price, and exactly what the WonderSwan needs to keep you comming back for more...

Wonderswan IPS LCD upgrade - my thoughts

First, the screen is very reasonably priced and does come with pretty much everything you would need. My only issues are really with some of the installation itself. I ran the wiring for powering the screen a little differently as the wire they provide is thin enough to fit through many of the vias on the board. So instead of the usual things shown in install videos, I routed the wiring a little more logically and making sure it wouldn't be in the way of the controls themselves or cause any pinching on the wire. The LCD placement can also be a little tough if you don't have it aligned right on the first get go but that isn't that uncommon in kits like this. I do like the touch sensitive tape pads but they are a bit too sensitive. I've found that even with my finger within 1cm of the case where they are placed at the top, has been enough to activate them. So I'm not sure if perhaps additional padding between the tape sensors would help but something to look into. Naturally the battery life of the console is very much negatively impacted by this upgrade, but given it only uses a single 1.5v battery to operate everything, that isn't surprising. But it should be noted with some testing regarding average amounts of operation with a new battery and the new screen vs original reflective LCD they came with. Overall, I really like the picture output quality and the installation is pretty easy and straightforward.
