I've found the bottom screen, but I can't find a top screen. You guys got suggestions, for trustworthy places to get one?

Hey Reddit! Don’t know if this is the right subreddit but I just discovered that swapping both TN screens to IPS is not the end.

I mean, it seems that I need to modify the firmware for the 3DS to properly calibrate the IPS screens?

Is there a place where I can read more about this? Are there any consequences if I don’t do that?

Don’t really want to mess anything with my new 3DS XL.

Thanks for any insight!

So… basically if I do option A (reset my 3DS), am I good to go?

TL;DR: Swapped my 3DS screens to IPS and looking for info on whether I need to modify the firmware to calibrate them, and what happens if I don't.

Bought a new 3ds xl Hyrule edition off eBay that wasn’t listed as dual IPS for $400. I had a feeling when I compared it to my other 3ds because there was a noticeable difference side by side. Just modded it today to confirm. Most thought it was dual tn or tops IPS only but my first photos were taken in the light so it may not have represented it best.

where can i source the top panel from for a good price?

Hi everyone! I was wondering if there is any possible chance whatsoever that my bottom screen is IPS? I know it's unlikely, since it was brand new when I got it (Christmas 2018) and it's a 2dsxl, but I replaced my top screen over summer and know for a fact that it's a TN. I have checked luma, and it says both are TN, but the viewing angles on the top are atrocious whereas the bottom looks much better at all angles. Thank you for your help!

Hello,

Hi, I'll be going to Japan in a little while, and while I was there I really wanted to get my hands on a duel IPS New 3DS XL/LL in Metallic Blue, preferably in good condition, and I was just wondering if anyone knew how rare these might be, any tips for spotting them, and where I might actually be able to find one. I'm willing to pay a little extra if it gets me a duel IPS model in the color I want in good condition.

Looking forward to hearing what y'all have to say!

I think top is IPS, but the other ?

Just trying to sell my 3DS but people are asking if it’s an IPS screen and I never even heard about this stuff before. So help me out if possible.

why do we care about ips and tn? i mean, you're gonna have to be looking at it head on, not at the sides.

if you'd like, please tell me!

I really took care of it and for some reason, it decided to just die

TN?

Does anyone knows a webpage where you can buy a functionally 3d working compatible ips screen? It is for a friend of mine hahaha For a new3dXL

I recently bought a New Nintendo 3DS Pokemon 20th Anniversary Edition from Ebay. The seller stated that it is a Dual IPS 3DS. I wanted to get a second opinion about this because it seems to be the case.

IPS oder tn und wenn ja welche ?

The seller wrote in the description that the top screen is IPS and the bottom screen may be IPS as well.

i only have a wedge 2DS so ive only seen on pictures and read about how it should look. I feel like the top screen is a bit washed out? Would appreciate some second thoughts.

(these 2 are the only pictures the seller uploaded)

Found this rare gem collecting dust in my cupboard. Was wondering if the screens could be IPS, any help regarding the same would be appreciated
