Was the gameboy screen always diarrhea green like that? Or did it fade over time?

We are so used to 21st century graphics we see anything prior as being shit.

always that way, you'll know when its rotting when you get vertical dead lines running down the screen, as in nothing displays on them

I've only had vertical ones but yes that is the exact same problem, the buzzing has always been an issue, since retail, from 1984, later gameboys solved this

It's always been diarrhea green. It retailed for like 50$ for a reason.

Horizontal lines are ultimate RIP for the gameboy screen. Most of the time vertical lines can be repaired by ironing the ribbon cable back on, but horizontal lines cannot be repaired.

Curse me anons, I should've not been a lazy ass and just gone for the backlight mod instead...

that's not a gameboy specific thing, that was a common cheap LCD design at the time, I'm sure there's some deep technical/biological lore behind it

Actually they sometimes can, but its hit or miss.
