IPS or TN? Special Edition VS IPS Screen

3 Upvotes

¡Hola! Tengo una pregunta: tengo dos consolas New Nintendo 3DS XL. Una es la edición Pokémon Solgaleo y Lunala (mi favorita), que tiene pantallas TN, y la otra es una roja algo desgastada, pero con pantallas IPS. ¿Vale la pena cambiar las pantallas de la roja a la edición Pokémon, o podré disfrutar igual de las pantallas TN?

¿Qué harías tú? ¿Elegirías la edición especial, aunque tenga pantallas TN, o una edición estándar que no esté en las mejores condiciones (pero que aún funcione) y tenga pantallas IPS?

I want to buy my first new 3ds ll game console with a IPS on Top. A seller provide some pictures to me, but I am not familiar with checking a IPS or TN screen. Could you help this? (The seller also doesn’t know if it is a IPS on Top.)

Swapped TN screens to IPS

4 Upvotes

Hey Reddit! Don’t know if this is the right subreddit but I just discovered that swapping both TN screens to IPS is not the end.

I mean, it seems that I need to modify the firmware for the 3DS to properly calibrate the IPS screens?

Is there a place where I can read more about this? Are there any consequences if I don’t do that?

Don’t really want to mess anything with my new 3DS XL.

Thanks for any insight!

Edit: closest thing I found was this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/s/jtqGNYxiCk

So… basically if I do option A (reset my 3DS), am I good to go?

TL;DR: Swapped my 3DS screens to IPS and looking for info on whether I need to modify the firmware to calibrate them, and what happens if I don't.

Turns out it was a dual IPS

Bought a new 3ds xl Hyrule edition off eBay that wasn’t listed as dual IPS for $400. I had a feeling when I compared it to my other 3ds because there was a noticeable difference side by side. Just modded it today to confirm. Most thought it was dual tn or tops IPS only but my first photos were taken in the light so it may not have represented it best.

IPS or TN? I know the top screen is tn- is the bottom as well?

Hi everyone! I was wondering if there is any possible chance whatsoever that my bottom screen is IPS? I know it's unlikely, since it was brand new when I got it (Christmas 2018) and it's a 2dsxl, but I replaced my top screen over summer and know for a fact that it's a TN. I have checked luma, and it says both are TN, but the viewing angles on the top are atrocious whereas the bottom looks much better at all angles. Thank you for your help!

Looking to Buy Finding a duel IPS Metallic Blue New 3DS XL/LL in Japan?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'll be going to Japan in a little while, and while I was there I really wanted to get my hands on a duel IPS New 3DS XL/LL in Metallic Blue, preferably in good condition, and I was just wondering if anyone knew how rare these might be, any tips for spotting them, and where I might actually be able to find one. I'm willing to pay a little extra if it gets me a duel IPS model in the color I want in good condition.

Looking forward to hearing what y'all have to say!

I recently bought a New Nintendo 3DS Pokemon 20th Anniversary Edition from Ebay. The seller stated that it is a Dual IPS 3DS. I wanted to get a second opinion about this because it seems to be the case.
