Hardware The 3DS 3D screen looks bad in 2D

[Duo8]

They aren't scanlines, we don't have scanlines on flat panel displays, only tubes. They are just Gaps, why is this a surprise to anyone here? Press your face up to your flat panel TV.... guess what, you can see the gaps between the pixels!!!!
In 2D mode you see all 800 pixels with no gaps because they are close together. If it bothers you so much that you can't see the gaps, set the 3D ON and stop complaining.
If you compare it to the bottom screen, you're getting more that twice the amount of pixels in almost the same space, would you like your top screen to be more than twice as wide as the bottom screen?

Not a surprise. More like a complaint/.

Theres nothing to complain about, you either have no gaps or twice the screen width, which of course probably wouldn't be able to give the 3D effect.

You really do know your stuff, but that's been apparent for a long time. lol

Yes we know they are not scanlines. We use the word scanlines for convenience. Yes we know that those scanlines are due to the smaller gaps between the pixels vertically. In fact, it's explained in the first post. Is setting 3D on a solution to this? Yes and no. While it's a solution for most 3DS games, it's not for most VC and DS/DSiWare titles because 3D is forced off during playing those titles.

I dont notice any difference with my 3ds.

Same here. The screen looks just fine on my end, people just seem to enjoy nitpicking the visual "anomalies"

Exactly.

Has anyone noticed if there's an improvement to the screens on the new Zelda 3DS XL?

Why would there be? It isn't a problem.

Because it is? And no, the Zelda 3DS XL screen is the same as any other 3DS XL screens.

 

[Duo8]

Because it is?

Only to a few.

Seriously if it's such an issue sell your 3DS and buy a 2DS.

Edit - you've been bitching about this for almost a year.

No, because the 2DS is even worse.

The 2DS has the vertical gaps that you so strongly desire. How is it worse?

It's worse as an overall product. Just because the 3DS XL has one major issue doesn't mean the 2DS is better because it has more issues.

Sure had me fooled.

I guess Nintendo is worse than Hitler then.

I appreciate your input, but bumping a 2 years old thread with a spam post is no good.

Well from what i "hear" with the 3d on the game Appears to add graphics, and i also see that as well, the with 3d on games looks better because a filter softens called AA aka Anti aliasing smoothens edges very slightly. seeing how the power of a handheld game can never keep with the Anti aliasing that PC's do its extremely small it just smoothens out the rough edges. and from what i observe it seems to add a kind of shiny glare to it.
i have a n3ds so i keep the 3ds on and i love it.
