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.

where can i source the top panel from for a good price?

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!

Hello,

Thanks for the help in advance. The seller says he can’t check as it’s not modded

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 think top is IPS, but the other ?

Just trying to sell my 3DS but people are asking if it’s an IPS screen and I never even heard about this stuff before. So help me out if possible.

why do we care about ips and tn? i mean, you're gonna have to be looking at it head on, not at the sides.

if you'd like, please tell me!

I really took care of it and for some reason, it decided to just die

TN?

Does anyone knows a webpage where you can buy a functionally 3d working compatible ips screen? It is for a friend of mine hahaha For a new3dXL

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.

IPS oder tn und wenn ja welche ?

The seller wrote in the description that the top screen is IPS and the bottom screen may be IPS as well.

i only have a wedge 2DS so ive only seen on pictures and read about how it should look. I feel like the top screen is a bit washed out? Would appreciate some second thoughts.

(these 2 are the only pictures the seller uploaded)

Found this rare gem collecting dust in my cupboard. Was wondering if the screens could be IPS, any help regarding the same would be appreciated

So, it's been 12 hours since I started the de-yellowing process that I saw here on Reddit. I gotta say that I was skeptical at first, but it seems to be working a little bit. Any advice? How much longer should I keep going?

Hey, about 5 months ago my 3ds ll i got from japan developed a case of pixel cancer :( it wasnt as bad as the pictures show originally, but after some time its become annoying due to it being centre of screen. Anyway have decided i should probably fix it now, because I can also do a shell swap at the same time. The problem is im not quite sure if i want to get another IPS panel like my console "claims" to have, or settle for a TN screen.

The second problem is where to source the screen. My current list is (for reference im from Australia)

1. Some form of screen from aliexpress.

2. A screen pulled from an original console I can buy on ebay.

3. Splurge and buy an IPS screen from ifixit.

Im leaning towards 1 or 3, because every screen i could find on ebay seemed to come with a $40 shipping fee, and at that point id probably go for the ifixit. So essentially im curious if anyone has any experience with aliexpress screens and what to look out for in regards to a good screen. The prices were really varied with them being $20 to $70 aud so yeah. Was also seeing some listing's with a conversion cable??? So if anyone could provide information about that, would appreciate it deeply.

(P.S if anyone knows where to buy a bottom digitiser made out of plastic for the touch screen, would be great. Thought mine was broken so bought a glass one from aliexpress. Turns out it was a software issue so now im stuck with a very icky scratchy touch screen.)
