GameBoy Classic: Q5 OSD Display Kit (By Hispeedido)
Product description:
Get the best out of your original GameBoy (DMG-01)! The Q5 OSD IPS Kit from Hispeedido replaces the old, low-contrast display with a state-of-the-art, backlit panel. With an 11% larger viewing area and an extremely wide viewing angle of 178 degrees, your "Gray Brick" looks like a console from today.
The special feature of this kit is the enormous color customization: It has 8 preset color modes, each of which can be adjusted in detail. Theoretically, you have over 65,000 different color combinations available to find the perfect look for your favorite games.
Highlights at a glance:
-
Huge Q5 IPS panel: 11% more display area than the original with crystal-clear contrast.
-
Custom colors: 8 adjustable color modes with thousands of color shades each.
-
OSD menu: Control brightness, image position, and battery indicator directly on the screen.
-
Retro pixel effect: Turn the classic pixel grid (scanlines) on or off as you like.
-
Intuitive control: Use the original contrast knob to dim the brightness and switch color modes.
-
Easy centering: Thanks to the included 3D-printed brackets the display immediately sits perfectly centered in the case.
Operation via the contrast knob:
-
Turn: Stepless brightness adjustment (20 levels).
-
Press: Quickly switch through the different color modes.
-
OSD menu: Access to professional settings such as image positioning and battery status display.
Important installation notes:
-
Case modification: Due to the larger display area (11% more), the original DMG case must be slightly modified (cut) inside. Alternatively, we recommend our "IPS-ready" cases.
-
Solder-free installation: The main installation is done via flat ribbon cables. Only small solder points are required for the speaker (the speaker is often pre-wired).
-
Image position: No worries about misalignment – the image position can be perfectly centered via the OSD menu in software.
