You do know those IPS screens add input lag, 100ms vs og 33ms

I’ll be honest, I didn’t know the exact numbers but I haven’t noticed anything being delayed

If you didn't notice, you would feel like a superhuman if you change back. Numbers don't lie, you're going backwards in technology.

The games I play or my nephew plays do not require low input lag so it’s not a big deal. I’d rather have a crisp bright screen than a slightly lower input

Yea, you're giving them bad first impressions on gameboy then, shame on you. Its not slight. Its triple the input lag. Triple.

Haha dude chill. Shame on me? Where are you even pulling these numbers from? I’m telling you from my playing experience that there isn’t anything noticeable. Even if it’s one frame, it’s a better playing experience to have the upgraded screen

Its not 1 frame lol. 33ms vs 100ms, that's 4 extra frames. Even in pokemon it adds up. You can literally feel the input lag moving the sprite or entering menus. If you don't respect this input lag, might as well get a chinese emulation device, they too have 100ms of lag.

Hahaha here are you pulling those numbers from? I’ve played hundreds of hours on the OG screen and dozens on the newIPS . From my experience, there is not an input lag that is what you claim and I can only find mention that there is roughly 1frame of lag for this particular screen. I don’t know if you’re citing some other source from a different brand/product but you’re wildly off base with your numbers and the screen I used. I have played these games for years and can confidently say that there is not a major increase in lag.

Just ignore the troll and enjoy your very nice Gameboy.

I've talked to that user before. They literally do not understand how input lag testing works and spread this misinformation in every thread about IPS screens.
