The one on the right is IPS? It looks better! LOL

ZZZZ... Nintendo. Putting IPS on a device without 3D mode while many more have to make do with TN panels :nayps3:

Wonder whether the 2DS top part of the screen is touch enable?

i got show you my 2ds is dual ips no lie lmao i got two tn 3ds i can show you the comparison
No sarcasm in my last post. Just genuine frustration toward Nintendo. My question is genuine too. If the top part of 3DS is touch enable, a mod to make use of it would be cool, to compensate for the lack of 3D mode.

Do you mind if I ask the inside cardboard box is (1) side slide in/out able or (2)you have to remove the whole cardboard box before you're able to take out the 3DS console.

Mine is the latter: you have to take the whole cardboard box out before you can get to the 3DS console.

we can still call it dual ips , sure i got 1 huge screen , but its separated in two.
You can hold your 2ds behind a screen door and say it has 1000 "ips" screens.

No, a little plastic bar covering the screen doesn't magically divide it in 2. :P

The screen itself isn't touch sensitive :P It's an overlay they put on top of the screen. Think stickey bit of touch-sensitive film that's pl. It gets its own ribbon cable and everything. In the case of the 2ds, they only put the overlay on the bottom part of that single display.

Found one today brand new sealed never opened, QW1200, Top IPS and bottom TN, impulse bought it for $199. Don't even need it, just adding it to the collection as its at least top IPS which is all that REALLY matters. still using my dual IPS hyrule as my daily.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @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.
