No.
They're monochrome CRTs with a plastic filter. Some are just grey, but most of that type seem to have been green.

Re: Game Boys (Bivert-curious welcome)
Well I'm officially a huge video game pleb, as I've never heard about green-lit Game Boys... I always had the idea of the standard console with its white/grey screen. But it's true it looks awesome!

Re: Game Boys (Bivert-curious welcome)
Still got armfuls of Japanese carts to get through. Found a neat little rhythm puzzle game today that seems to be completely unknown. Played on a DMG it isn't great as it suffers slowdown during button presses making it far harder, but on an AGB it's perfectly smooth. Very playable once you figure out what you're doing, and well worth grabbing a copy on YAJ if you're bringing other stuff in.

Re: Game Boys (Bivert-curious welcome)
I was right. Had been using a 32GB Samsung MicroSD. Found a couple of 1-2GB Sandisk and the problems seem to have gone away completely. Whether it's the brand or capacity I don't know. Last test with an AGB-101 the Samsung wouldn't even boot up, the power draw was too great.

One of the rarities I've been fancying for a while.

Re: Game Boys (Bivert-curious welcome)
I got a copy from a Yamatoku bundle for cheap years ago. Sold it locally for 125 Euros.
Emulation's nice when done well
