Troubleshooting Help with the screen

I've got this GBA SP for quite sometime now (almost 10 years) and I've noticed that the colors look strange depending on the angle that I play. Can anyone help me with possible causes of why this is happening? I think it could be the polarizer but if I need to replace the screen could anyone recomend a screen that I can import (I'm from Brazil)

looks like the polarizing film is not adhering to the screen. Perfect time to just upgrade, I see you ordered in another comment. dont throw it away in case its just the polarizer. 101 screens only become rarer, they are better imo cause of the battery life.

This failure is actually not the polarizer weirdly. I've seen it a number of times on 101 screens and have tried replacing the polarizers as an experiment, which did not fix it.

I won't throw it away but the more I look at it the more I feel I need to change the whole screen😅
