Hardware Anyone recently buy a N3DSXL?

[Gelums]

I have a launch day N3DSXL with dual TN screens and CFW. I'm looking to buy another N3DSXL hopefully with dual IPS screens and before any firmware updates. Has anyone recently purchased a N3DSXL with dual IPS and have the serial number? I would like to know.

Please, don't double post.

The only one I found (and bought) wasn't a Xl. It was a New Nintendo 3DS Super Mario 3D Land Edition. Any serials have 10.7 FW. YW7010/YW7011 have confirmed Dual IPS and YW7012 is basically lottery (can be top TN and bottom IPS, top IPS and bottom TN, Dual TN or Dual IPS). YW7013 onwards are Dual TN.

newer ones are all Full TN, because Nintendo always intended to use TN. TN has a lower energy consumption and saves up to 30%! That and the better response times made it perfect for a handheld. But TN became rare and so Nintendo was forced to use IPS as a backup for a certain time. That production span is over and all models are back to double TN now.
