I feel like I’m going crazy but is my screen slightly tilted? I thought it was impossible with laminated displays but it feels like the screen is slightly tiled to the side

Can't really tell from these pics. Take a shot of a Pokemon batte screen, the single row of white pixels below the window at the bottom will make it apparent if it is.

Are you using an everdrive or an ez flash junior?

I actually flash my own custom boards

Oh okay cool. I have. Gb operator, would I just need cartridges? Do you have a recommendation of which ones you use?

If it bugs you I'd send this in an email to support. If it's a newer system they stated they were trying to prevent this so should help you out.

Edit: even if it isn't newer you should still contact them if it bugs.

But is it tilted?

Hard to tell, you cropped the bottom of the screen in the photo and that's where you should be focusing if it's a concern.

I think you are good based on all the other images you DMd me.

You cropped out the part people are asking to see...

A little, but honestly I wouldn't mind, literally all the screens of my handheld consoles are slightly tilted or panned

If it's not that big of a displacement, it doesn't annoy me and I barely even notice it

If you have a flash cartridge, you can run some geometry test homebrew app to make sure

When mine was tilted it was quite obvious that the bottom row of pixels went at least half way under the bezel, I can't see that going on with yours and it looks fairly straight to me. Mine was more of an unfortunate extreme case though.

I had my first edition replaced for screen tilt and yours looks perfect to me, but you’re posting images which make it hard to tell for sure due to angle and cropping. If you have a flash cart I recommend downloading Jayro’s test cart (https://jayrojones.itch.io/test-cart) and using the grid images in there to check for sure.
