It would be neat to compare these new reflective LCDs with the 25-year-old ones used in the Game Boy Color.

You can go a little later with the original-model GBA SP. The ones where the light can be turned off are front-lit, and the ones where the light just dims are back-lit.

Which played merry hell with color choices by game developers.

Hot take, but the original GBA had one of the nicest reflective LCDs ever. I'd even prefer it over the SP in most (well lit) cases.
