Hardware Is this a dual IPS 3ds?

Hello, I know you probably get asked that alot, but maybe someone with a trained eye can tell from these pictures:

It looks pretty good to me, bottom looks IPS and top looking good too

If possible to run 3dsident on it you can know for sure

Bottom is TN if you judge the second pic and washed out colors. Upper i can't say for sure but I'm thinking TN because you can make it look even better than that from this frontal view. But it can be IPS. Ask for 3dsident if you can.

NoNAND dopplergänger, take a look in 3DSident-GUI.

Seller showed me a few more pictures left one is the one he offers that claims its ips and right tn
Its kinda weird from the one of the side view it legit looks just like a tn or am I wrong?
3dsIdent is not possible sadly.

Pretty sure you can use the 3dsident homebrew to check what type of panels you have
edit I am blind as this is not a valid option

Problem is, that someone is sending me these pictures because he wants to sell this console.
I don't think he will hack it to run 3dsident

[Guide] TN and IPS Displays - Which does my 3DS have?

IMO, the one shown on the left in post #5 does not look like IPS for both top and bottom panels. See if the seller can take the pictures again in a dimly lit room, not pitch black. Pictures in total dark or no background lighting tends to come out too grainy or potato quality.

Yep both TN i was going through changing my TN to IPS a month ago so kind of have an eye for it. BTW the difference it's not really really huge, both screens have ghosting on extreme 3d, it's a little better on IPS but for me the 3D effect is better on the TN screen. Also in normal gaming i wasn't "blown away" by the difference.

Okay so I'll pass this. The left one probably didnt have the Energysaving mode activated atleast thats what it looks like.
I'm playing with 3d on max only, because I love it so damn hard.
I already have 2 and if the experience was game changing with an IPS screen I'd consider getting one.

I have the Pikachu New 3DS XL that's obviously only TN. Also the Majora's Mask edition that's top IPS and bottom TN. Both N.American region.

Pardon the hijacking of the thread but I'd like to ask...
I recently ordered a brand new UK/EU model of the Hyrule edition which is on its way in the mail. Any idea how likely it will he Dual IPS? It'll arrive next week.

Ok, I'm going to post some media featuring how the difference looks like side by side in the clearest way possible.

Here's a video I took showcasing a Majora's Mask 3DS that has Top-IPS Bottom-TN and a Dual TN 3DS side by side, both at max brigthness setting, power save mode turned off and auto-brightness dissabled, focus specially on the Internet Bar at the top left:



0:00 - 0:17 is the Dual TN 3DS
0:17 - 0:30 Top IPS 3DS

You can see immediatly the change in contrast when viewed from the top, also the colors are more vibrant on the IPS screen.

0:30 - A multi-angle view of both screens side by side to have a clearer idea on what the difference is between the two types of screen.

And some photos:

IPS is Left, TN is Right

Zoomed in contrasty areas


Side by Side from various angles


Side by Side from top angle


So in conclussion, judging by your photos, the top is defenitely an IPS screen, as it maintains its colors vibrant when viewed from a side angle, a TN would immediatly wash out the colors at the minor angle change.

If you judge by this pic it can't be IPS...
