I have a berry GBC in really good condition but the color is very meh. And the backlight just seems so practical. Anyone have any advice? Any expected cost? Kind of wondering if it's just cheaper to buy a GBSP

Most of the GBC backlight kits now don’t require soldering (except for the extra large ones). There are two types: one is the 2.2” screen that’s slight smaller than the original but you can install without modifying the shell, the other type is the IPS kit that is full size but needs a trimmed shell.
I installed this one in my GBC last year. It is a no cut/no solder model. It is slightly smaller than the stock screen, but other than that looks fantastic.
Oof. For that cost I'll just get an SP off eBay. Thanks
Yes it's possible. I bought a kit with a modded shell and comes with a backlit screen. No soldering required. I posted it in on my profile a little while back. Feel free to have a look.
