Hardware So with the 2DS XL official, what will the LCD panels be?

What will Nintendo do with the new 2DS XL panels this time?

  • Nintendo will be great this time and give us glorious viewing angles and color IPS panels only!

  • Nintendo will pinch pennies even harder and it will only have shit TN panels

  • It will be the bullshit LCD guessing game all over again. TN? IPS? Both? Who knows!?

You're right, that does sounds stupid. IPS isn't as expensive as you'd love to pretend, I'm sure.

My guess is TN. Most console manufacturers tend to cheap out a bit on final revisions especially if they're for legacy hardware. You'll lose some color and contrast but have better battery as a result.

IPS isn't expensive, at all.
You can get pretty cheap smartphones with IPS displays for less than 50$
Regardless if its IPS I'll consider buy it, if they make it OLED then its gonna be an instant buy for me.

we need more CRT handhelds :P

but nope, I would guess TN, even if the savings are tiny the console will almost certainly be getting produced as cheap as possible and designed for kids primarily(although that hinge looks pretty crap, I would imagine most parents would be put off buying one for a kid even if they turn out to be super durable, they still look weak)

I have to find ANY real factual, supportive evidence to back up that claim other then people clammering "I can tell a difference!"
Jesus Christ, who are you Phoenix Wright?
You start a thread open for discussion and voting yet you shot down every single person who discussed something else that you wouldn't believe in.
Alas, what the previous user meant was, TN screens = better battery life = battery lasts longer.
Ergo, IPS consumes way more battery than TN.

Good job umbrella Corp dog. The questions still remains of what the actual data/time difference are? A few minutes? Big fucking deal! An extra hour? That actually means something and worth a trade off vs better colors and viewing angles.

Reading comprehension son, learn it already

I'll leave this up to the mods, as you are part of their daily breakfast.

Good boy. Now run along to mommy and tell her I had a good time with her the other night while you were at the slumber party
Um, what is even the point of you insulting people?

Now I will patiently wait here for this thread to be nuked by mods
