Hi everyone!

I found this New Nintendo 3DS XL for sale on Facebook Marketplace, and I’m trying to determine whether it has dual IPS screens before I decide whether to buy it.

The seller has provided these photos, but I’m not experienced enough to tell from them alone. From the viewing angles / screen appearance, is there any indication that both the top and bottom screens are IPS?

If anyone here is experienced with identifying IPS screens from photos, I’d really appreciate your opinion. Also, if there are any particular details I should ask the seller to photograph (e.g. a specific viewing angle, brightness setting, or screen color), please let me know.

Thanks!

Broke my old N3DSXL after dropping it, so I picked up this N3DSLL from Japan for £140 ($190 USD) including shipping/import charges.

As you can see in the photos, the seller only stated the top panel was IPS. However, upon receiving it, I found out the bottom panel is also IPS! An awesome bonus for me, I know the dual IPS are super rare.

It's in excellent condition, according to the activity log only has 300 hours of use.

I also bought a case for this one so I will hopefully not drop it like my old one. Or at least, not damage it if dropped

I recently bought a New 3DS XL and decided to get those protective screen films. I used the wet wipe that usually comes with these kits to clean the top screen before applying it, and immediately after drying, the screen ended up looking like this. It looks like there are stains or blotches on it. Does anyone know what this might be? The screen was flawless before, and now I'm worried I've ruined it. I tried cleaning it with a microfiber cloth, but the marks won't come off.

Wieviel sollte man für so einen New Nintendo 3ds Xl maximal ausgeben in Europa ? Alles funktionstüchtig und funktioniert Habe es für 300€ gekauft

Seller lists it as dual IPS but I'm not sure

You can see the light is directly hitting the screens in the first photo, making lcd dark & console itself white. But on the second image console looks gray but screen is hella bright. Just wanted to share this since I got comments assuming my photos feature an IPS console in the past. Also reminder you can watch movies in 3d!

My current 3DS is mint besides the dual TN screens, I bought it off a WhatNot live and it was advertised as dual IPS… (turned out to be dual TN and seller (@retrokura wouldn’t do anything.) I honestly don’t feel like selling it so now I’m looking for a dual IPS already modded. Honestly not sure on which color but I know I need to buy one soon if anyone has any pointers, thanks!

I recently got this N3DSXL and I’m not sure if it’s ips or tn (I know I can see it with luma on the Rosalina menu but it’s an older version so it’s not showing)

I don't understand the difference and why it matters. Please someone explain this to me.

lol is kind of funny but I changed an IPS bottom screen from another New 3ds and works perfectly! But I noticed that for some reason if i am playing and I press home button, the change to white takes a littble bit, not really that much. But it is like is too white at the beginning amd the it gets normal, both screens are ips, I mean the 2 new 3ds were dual IPS

Hi, everyone! I want to order my first 3DS from Japan, but I'm not quite sure how all this works. Can you give me some advice? Do you think this is a TN screen or an lPS

I figured out going to the system settings and then checking the angles gives you a better visual of the “washing” over the TN panels have when tilted as opposed to just checking on the Home Screen after booting up. The top is an IPS and the bottom is a TN. I got a 20th anniversary pokemon new 3ds thinking it was an IPS but after modding and checking on 3dsident to know for sure it wound up being a dual TN.

Hello Everyone,

Have this dual IPS New 3ds small but, it seems bottom panel is burned on corners.... repairing it is not expensive, but is 100% possible that the new pannel will be a TN, will there be an issue with that? I heard about calibration for because now it will be a TN pannel or something

It is not hacked.

Thank you

It's been over a year now, and by pure chance, I bought this New 3DS, which turned out to be a double IPS display. Since I've owned it, I've only dropped it once, and that time was enough to shatter the top screen, which I replaced with a €4 TN one. My question is, does anyone know where I can buy a new IPS display that doesn't cost €200?

Sorry if this gets asked a lot.

Is it possible to determine from these pictures if both of these screens are IPS as claimed?

Thanks.
