3dsident says both my screens are TN. But I can still see the screens very well from bad angles.

I'm pretty confused. I've done all the screen tests and am confident at least the bottom screen is ips.

I've done multiple tests and the screens don't show most signs that both screens are TN. The top screen even has the scanline effect like most ips screens do.

The top screen doesn't have good viewing angles, but the bottom screen does. But the top screen also doesn't have any yellow to it, the contrast looks about the same as an ips, and again, has the scanlines.

The bottom screen is definitely IPS, but the top screen is some kind of weird mix between tn and ips.

Then is there any way to get an ips replacement screen? The bottom screen still just doesn't appear tn to me.

People have done it, no? I've seen several reddit threads of people doing screen swaps. I don't even know if I want ips anymore because it uses more battery. And I perfer my long battery life, and I'm never going to play games from the side. Having better colors is nice and all, but it's not a huge difference and has worse battery life.

Now that sparks the question, could I potentially use screen filters on luma3ds to have better contrast if I so desire? Some people do it with modded switches to make it almost as good as an oled screen.

Edit: i just found it!!!

If you use the screen filter "overcast sky" on luma3ds, the screen quality looks less yellow and the black theme looks less washed out. And at extreme viewing angles, its better. Not ips, but better. It might have an impact on battery life. Tomorrow I'll do a test to see which gets to 80 percent faster.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
