you were not scammed. both of those screen is IPS
the upper screen = conventional IPS
the lower screen = IPS NEO
it just so happen that the lower screen is a more advanced/recent technology IPS by Japan Dispaly Institute JDI.
The 3DS you have is not yet the best 3DS there is.
The holy grail is both dual IPS NEO

I actually have seen one dual IPS NEO system on eBay once but it was sold from China, would likely not be a USA region system, and was an XL model (which I don't really want). I do find it ironic that the superior screen on my system would be the screen that I would hardly ever look at though. :rofl2:

Also: look at that amount of people viewing this thread. :blink:

Hello everyone,

I bought me a new 3DS XL. And i'm not really sure if the device has two IPS panels. I would guess yes. May somebody have a look on the screenshot.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    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".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
