Hello! I hope it's okay to post this kind of question.

I'm planning to buy a N3DSXL from two possible sellers, and I would like to get your opinion; do you think they are IPS or TN screens?. Here are some pictures and a video:

Also, what do you think I should test on the devices before paying?
I would appreciate your opinions and suggestions!!

If they got cfw ask them to run 3dsident. It will outright say what the screens are. What do you mean testing? Like if you got the console yourself and playing something. or if they make a video of them playing a specified game?

Unfortunately, they don't have CFW. And by testing, I mean that I will be able to see the 3DS in person before deciding to buy it, so I was thinking that I should check if all buttons work, if the charger works, etc.

the upper one seems to be ips on both, the upper ones touch screen seems like tn, can't say about the galaxy one.

but really, it doesn't make much of a difference really...

only test you can do is look at it from all angles.
if colors start to wash out or kind of start to invert a little, its tn.

Thank you! I added more pictures of the galaxy model in the original post.
