RetroSix CleanScreen Kit (IPS) – The Display Upgrade for Your Atari Lynx 1
The original screen of the Atari Lynx 1 is one of its biggest weak points: dim, low contrast, power hungry – and it only gets more unreliable with age. Pixel failures, dead zones and streaks are all too common on the classic panel. The RetroSix CleanScreen Kit puts a permanent end to that.
What Makes It Special?
RetroSix engineered a modern IPS screen driver board specifically tuned to the variable frame rates of the Atari Lynx (59–61 Hz and 74–76 Hz) – without any screen flicker or frame fading. The colour profiles are custom-calibrated so games look the way they were meant to: vivid, sharp and true to colour. The matt black bezel design matches the Lynx 1's aesthetic perfectly and requires no ugly tape to hide raw edges.
Features at a Glance
- Modern 3.5" IPS display – rich colours, high contrast, wide viewing angles
- Ultra-low power consumption – noticeably longer battery life compared to the original
- On-Screen Menu (hold Left + A + B simultaneously, then B to confirm): pixel grids, colour modes and VGA output adjustable
- VGA output – play Lynx games on the big screen (VGA connector must be soldered in separately)
- No shell modifications required – drop-in solution for the original Lynx 1 housing
Important Notes Before You Buy
This version is designed exclusively for the Atari Lynx 1 and is not compatible with the Lynx 2. Basic soldering skills and a steady hand are essential. If you're not confident doing this yourself, consider an installation service. Always test the kit before permanently mounting the screen with the included double-sided foam tape – safe removal afterwards is not possible.
