Hardware So with the 2DS XL official, what will the LCD panels be?

[The Catboy]

It's going to be using a 2D screen.

Only your mom is dumber

High quality insult Mr. Tsundere-kun.
Anyways, 2DS XL will be probably produced in many factory's, making it a gamble to get IPS screen.

I prefer my blacks not looking like grey's and looking at colors through a fog

you kids with your vaping...
put down the box mod and just play the damn game!

All 10 N3DSXL "black,blue, pink" models i've bought new in 2017 are Dual TN, no random luck or guessing game anymore.. Only TN option or you buy a used/refurbished 2014/2015 model. Could be that they used the same panel on the new 2DSXL and removed the 3D slider... lol
Also the contrast is so bad even staring at the screens directly.. all the backgrounds "accept black" look like a White background with tiny Tint of whatever color you picked and the background text is all grey instead of black.

Nothing looks grey, lmao. The only time it would look grey is if you're holding it in a way to purposefully LOOK for it. Do you hold it like that while playing? No. Seriously, people make way too big an issue out of this and the amount of black crushing going on with IPS panels is actually worse and has been PROVEN many, many, many times over. Oh, let's not forget about the dithering on the IPS's. Get real people. Someone at some point said "LOOK!!! IPS IS MORE VIBRANT WITH BETTER VIEWING ANGLES!!!" and everyone jumped the IPS bandwagon with zero regard for it's glaring flaws.

Whatever man. I've seen the difference side by side and IPS is much better all around to my eyes and fuck the battery life difference, if any. I move and twitch a lot while laying down so I don't see my 3ds perfectly even so the shit viewing angles of TN panels are not acceptable to me.

People still acting like screen type is a big deal with small screens. Those ppl deserve neither type. Their 2dsxl should come with og green monochrome gameboy screens.

Looking at a TN vs IPS side by side? It's a pretty damn big deal. TN gives me a headache.

 

[V0ltr0n]

It's really not a big deal. Unless you jerk your head around like you are possessed, the viewing angle doesn't change much. I know, special snowflakes insist that their screen is infinitely better, so I'm not going to argue the point much farther. Those with common sense know it makes little to no difference which screens you get. Also, if u never knew there was a difference in screens, i bet those headaches wouldn't exist. Textbook psychosomatic effect.

 

[KingpinSlim]

What's the point of this?
How could anyone possibly know?

Besides, TN isn't shit.
There is a reason Computer displays use Twisted Nematic displays.
They have shorter response times and are therefor ideal for gaming.
I never understood this entire argument.
IPS looks nice, sure, but is that really worth the trade-offs?

 

[zoogie]

They'll be TN.
Reason: it's a budget model for casuals.

Yeah, but TN isn't bad.

 

[DinohScene]

Nintendo will be using a dot matrix screen.

It'll be 2060 before Nintendo implements AMOLED.
Everybody will be looking forward to 12k holographic displays and Nintendo is going back in time further and further.

 

[KingpinSlim]

@DinohScene Perhaps.
TN has fast response times, IPS has nice colors and both are absolutely okay. I had both and both were fine.

 

[DinohScene]

Still doesn't beat the Vita's OLED or phones AMOLED.

Agreed.

I saw the difference side by side and I honestly couldn't see a "responsive" difference in the TN panel with fast moving games, but I sure could tell right away the color and contrast difference between them, and the humongous difference in viewing angles and the 3D effect also seemed to work better on IPS vs the TN. Battery life difference? Not that I could feel and big deal, I have anker battery pack I can use while gaming.

NO ONE has provided factual evidence that the TN panels save that much more battery power and that it prevents ghosting in games.

@H0thTr0n I would advise you to cool your temper. I doubt very much anyone is inclined to reply favorably to any questions you pose in such a manner.
