Game Boy Pocket Screen Comparison
This article was last updated June 20th, 2022. We will be continually adding new information to this post as we add more comparisons and perform more tests as time allows. Want something tested sooner? Reach out to us at support@handheldlegend.com
These tests were performed using a desktop power supply supplying 3v, 1 amp. This means that 1 amp of current is made available for consumption. Measurements are taken from the power supply which indicates how much power is drawn.
All final measurements are made by taking a baseline measurement of the Game Boy Pocket without any screen attached, then subtracting this number from the measurement taken with the screen attached.
When possible, measurements are taken to show the power consumption from minimum brightness to maximum brightness.
The baseline measurement for power consumption was about 53mA. This is with new electrolytic capacitors and a cleaned power switch.
Product | Lowest Brightness | Default Brightness | Maximum Brightness |
Original Screen | N/A | 17mA | N/A |
22mA (No Backlight) | 33mA | 44mA |
