It's AliExpress so it will probably take a couple of weeks but I'll keep you all posted.

This guy guarantees it's a high resolution screen. If that's true it's the best choice ever!
is 640x480 even possible over an RCA phono AV input?

Theoretically, yes. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_ ... Television

But i highly doubt that this display here is 640x480. This is the usual 320x240 case.

Is there any real way of testing once he got the screen? If he can proof that is 320x240 insted of 640x480, he maybe get a refund for fraud, right?

I just received two displays from Amazon seller 'she-love'. It was not the same variant as on the wiki, however.

I received two Variant 6 boards, which normally ship from 'niceshopping', and had no problem running them off of 5v. I clipped the wire and soldered positive and negative wires from a Powerboost 1000c and it worked just fine.

I'll be redoing the solder points on the board with higher quality wire before I put it in the Gameboy since the wire they use is 28-30 AWG.

I end up purchased one of the screens "640x480" screens from aliexpress as well. I'm hoping that you're going to have good news while I wait a few weeks for it to arrive.

The seller has assured me a few times that the screen is 640x480, I still don't believe him.
