Easiest ATARI LYNX LCD Upgrade from BENN VENN | NO SOLDERING REQUIRED! | Retro Renew

Easiest ATARI LYNX LCD Upgrade from BENN VENN. No soldering required for this mod!

In today's episode of Retro Renew, I take a closer look at the amazingly simple and powerful LCD upgrade kit for the Atari Lynx from the folks over at Benn Venn! The Atari Lynx, much like the Sega Game Gear, suffers from a LCD which is a little blurry and has low color saturation. The Benn Venn kit replaces the old LCD with a much more modern TFT display which drastically improves image quality. This is how Atari Lynx games were meant to be played!
