I am really happy with my biverted DMG backlight. If a full screen replacement comes along that is even better I'd definitely be intrigued, although the experience I've had on my unit so far has been very satisfying.

I think that my ideal full-screen replacement mod on the DMG would have to have some kind of switch that lets you change the color of the screen on the fly. I would love to have very deep contrast and minimal ghosting like McWill's Game Gear screen has, although I don't think I would want just a straight pure white for the pixels. I've always associated the Gameboy with having a green screen which is why I chose green LEDs for my modded unit (although an RGB kit set to yellow would be a little more accurate). I know that's not to everyone's liking though, so the ability to change it with a simple button combination would be a wonderful feature.

I modded my Gameboy with a backlight and a bivert chip. I love it so much that if I had a time machine I'd go back to the 1990s and give one to myself as a kid.

You can buy aftermarket electroluminescent screens from Kitsch Bent, but as you said they do add a buzzing noise to the audio. Most people prefer the LED kits. They are available in many colors, and you can get that cool radioactive glow effect if that's what you desire. I went with green and a bivert chip, and I think it looks just about perfect. Also, modding a Gameboy Pocket would be a helluvalot cheaper than importing a Gameboy Light.

The advantage to the electrolite screens is that there is no foot lighting effect at all and the light looks pretty much perfectly even, although honestly the footlight effect on the LED screens is very subtle and I've never been bothered by it.
