So.. those of you who dabble heavily on the electronics side of gameboys, exploring pin outs and functionality of the PCBs.. is there any conceivable method for replacing the stock LCD with a modern backlit LCD? I've seen videos (timbob?) of video out from super gameboy to the DMG's LCD, and I believe another video showing the LCD PCB of the DMG outputting video to a MGB screen.

DESCRIPTION: For sale is one replacement screen cover for GameBoy Color Glass or Plastic Versions available. (select from dropdown) Glass provides ultimate clarity and scratch resistance. Both versions come covered in protective film. Without the front case, you will be left with the motherboard and the plastic mount. The LCD screen is attached to the motherboard by a ribbon and can fall off the plastic mount. Glass screens are a step up from plastic screens, offering better scratch resistance, clarity and overall aesthetic appeal. There IS adhesive on the back so you can stick right to your case! No super glue or rubber cement needed.

I know nothing of the requisites behind powering a modern LCD, or the difficulty in making the appropriate signal connections from the old old gameboy to modern LCD form factors, but It would obviously be really really cool.

So I guess I'm just curious what limitations or difficulties or impossibilities there are to this.

Edit: I'm not suggesting this can even be done. But I would like to see some enlightening discussion. Dance, monkeys!
