I don't know if it's just an artifact of your recording, and I don't own either handheld, but from your side by side comparison, I honestly prefer the Retro Game 300's colours. Sure, they are darker, but the saturation seems much nicer. The LDK's screen seems like it would produce very poor blacks, like the backlighting is way too high, and the contrast is low. Everything looks slightly desaturated. I bet a better comparison would be seeing how Super Metroid looks on each screen.

All these have 2.8 inch screens. The boxes and many sellers say it's 3.0 screen but that's the bezel size, the actual usable display it's 2.8 inch Also, the battery is not a real BP-5L standard, the contacts are not at the same place. You may try using a smaller BL-5C battery and secure it with some tape

The emulation for GBC and GB is great, which is what I wanted it for, the bundled GBA emulator on the custom firmware is okay but doesnt run some games (ahem, Golden Sun/FFVI Advance) too well. The SNES emu runs starfox at a basically useless 20fps... BUT its a wicked console and the IPS Screen is lovely

Does it run Super Mario RPG and Star Fox properly? Those two are always problematic on really low end devices. You are right about the colors looking a bit dark and desaturated. On the other hand, on the LDK they look too bright and still desaturated (but that might be the screen brightness), so neither is getting it right. That's not a big deal though, it's not enough to detract from the experience, but I think I would prefer how it looks on the RG-300.
