  • THE RESULT! • Did Nintendo Fix My Ne... Having an eye for detail is hard! Don't ever try to find the perfect 3DS system, with the perfect screens. You will drive yourself nuts! Send it to Nintendo instead. I learned this lesson a bit late. Here is my collection. Some are DUAL IPS, some are top IPS, most are dual TN. All have their own specific quirks.

    Personally I would just be okay with an IPS top screen, even with 1 dead pixel. I can get your obsession of having a "perfect" one though, I've seen people return $2000 guitars because there was a little bit of paint on the binding in a spot you can't even see during use and you could easily scrape it off using a razor yourself.
    Quality is important!

      Could you stop making multiple comments about "first world problems"?
      It's annoying. People want to get most from the money that they spend, and when they don't, they obviously feel sad, because that's money down the drain.
      Also when you start taking notice of problems like these in a screen, it's not a first world problem; it's a medical condition.

    • @Lvlaple4Ever
      @Lvlaple4Ever 7 років тому +31

      I bet that 99% of 3DS owners don't even know about this or are fine with what screen they got. And you even said it in the end, it's almost like a medical condition being this overly sensitive. Being such a perfectionist will only sabotage you and waste your time.

    • @lnsflare1
      @lnsflare1 7 років тому +5

      Yes, this isn't a life or death issue or something that the layperson is even aware of (I certainly wasn't aware of it, though I don't have a 3DS to begin with), however, there really is no excuse for unlabeled differences between screen types for the same model of the same units or for the fact that having dirt and dust under the screen is apparently fairly common on new units.
      That's just Nintendo showing shoddy internal standards and regulations over their own manufacturing, which is disappointing from a company renowned for the build quality of their products.

    • @zues121510

      @danhalo1405 3 роки тому +3

      The screens are very close in quality and if you don't specifically know about it you very very likely never would find out that they used different screens. And you only really notice the difference when you look from a sharp angle onto your console and not really when you play with the system in a normal way like it was intended and the reason why they used different screens likely was because the 3ds was a mass product it sold about 80 million consoles and to keep up with production in those quantities you probably need different sources of supply and so they likely could not keep the production up with only the IPS screens. But nowadys years after the production of those systems stopped the only really thing that matters is anyways if the system still works or not

Even an iPhone is going to cost you $1,000 bucks after tax for the top model. It's a lot still but a hobby is a hobby. Don't judge hahaha. I'd like to know what your hobbies are.

      Why do you buy phones to review? You would think they would send you phones to review. I don't see the appeal of laptops over desktops any day. A capable gaming PC is far under $800. The difference is you'd get more use out of the computer than you would out of 7 of the same thing. There isn't anything wrong with collecting, but it isn't hard to understand why some people would be annoyed at the fact that you spent somewhere up to $1400 on Nintendo 3DS's and then tried justifying it by comparing it to a laptop. Also, the iPhone 7 plus is $800 or less. So... Yeah. And Apple sucks anyway for a lot of reasons that I'm not going to get into.

    I have three 3DS systems (two original model, two 2DS. All aside from my launch 3DS purchased at a local pawn shop) and am glad to hear that the screens being inconsistent quality and temperature is actually a normal thing.
    For anyone curious why I have four systems, I've spent quite a bit on digital games and the shoulder buttons on my launch model started giving out. Unfortunately each of my backups have some imperfections, be it creaking or overly clicky buttons/hinges, a super scratched up screen, or debis under the screen and a warm screen tint (although I am 99% sure that last one is a refurbished model)

    I work for one of the biggest IT company in the world so let me clarify something
    Every company does this, all manufacturers have multiple suppliers which will all create the required component to the correct specifications as advertised. Some may be a little different than others but it is still sufficient as advertised and is not ''worse''. IPS panels have a lot of issues too btw :P
    This does not affect use in anyway the quality is still the same. I can tell you right now every macbook, every samsung notebook does this (same with phones)
    I would just ignore it and move on, its within normal use (dust is different though, thats a manufacturer's defect)

The people complaining are mostly jealous/entitled 14 year olds who can't handle that someone is on a much higher income bracket than them, yet they've never/barely ever worked.

      If Nintendo wanted to, they could have made you a top of the line 3DS at 500-600$ but nobody would buy it since most people see it as a toy and aren't willing to spend that much for entertainment. ~150$ for that kind of device when it launch is a great value even if the screen has bad view angle, contrast, brightness or has some dead pixels.

I do, however, think that someone in the California Nintendo repair center needs to be fired for not even knowing that their own site gives a repair request for dust/debris - and therefore initially denied to fix my unit until his/her hand was forced. It could also be that he/she just didn't feel like doing his/her job. Not good. Stay tuned.

      Erica Griffin I guess, maybe its too much to expect SmartPhone quality from 200dollar products(likely to have only $60 to $100 dollars budget on the manufacturing side). I support Nintendo's low price policy for their Game consoles. It gives more opportunity and accessibility to kids and people who wants to enjoy the propriatory games. I dont wish Nintendo's ecosystem to be lost as SEGA or many other game manufacturers have, due to the rise of the smart phones. Its a sad thing that consumors have to endure these poor quality contorl of the products, but if we had to choose from rather loosing(reduction) of the population of a console system which have more history than any other exist, this might be a fair trade. I wouldn't want to see another historical company as Kodak films dissapear again. Nikon is in pretty bad shape economically either.

    This is my answer to someone saying to just weight them to find out if it is IPS, since IPS is supposedly heaver. It's NOT consistent and I would not trust that, even if some had success!
    "Hey there, don't suggest this to people. It doesn't work consistently. Nope. If you are lucky to find many of them from the same lot and same exact model, then maybe. Just maybe.
    The assumption is that the IPS screens are heavier and this has worked for a few lucky people. But guess what? I tried the same thing. I even got a gram scale and went around measuring. You know what I found? Due to whatever component differences (even in the same lot who knows if there are some tiny differences that can contribute to weight differences) or weight in plastic it's not always true, even in the same lot! Even two TN models in the same lot had a few gram differences!
    And the clincher, I have a dual IPS Hyrule edition that is lighter by several grams from my dual TN Pikachu version. Interesting. It means there are too many uncontrolled variables and I would not stake my life on it."
    You can go around with a gram scale but I preferred not to mention it as it's not consistent and good luck finding a large enough lot to find any meaningful differences! You can argue with me of you want. Go try it for yourself. I just hope you don't get screwed.

It seems like nintendo treats the 3ds like a kids toy and maybe that's the reason they don't care too much about quality control on them, they might be thinking that kids don´t care anyways. I believe it's better to not get very obsessed about the topic and just enjoy whatever screen you have. I have very good TN panels on my favourite new 3ds and I've been very happy with it.

    To me it sounds like there's a high defect rate and they should go back to the drawing board. I'd return them all to send them a message that they need to improve the systems.
    I don't know why manufacturers make one sku with different types of panels. I've briefly faced these issues with TVs and PC monitors...crazy.

      no one cares dude. if they never bothered to introduce TN screens we wouldnt be having this conversation. NO ONE complained about the screens when they were launched, but Nintendo did some research and decided to improve some units, you want them to recall all 3ds' when no one has an issue with the ips screens?

    My Hyrule is also dual IPS. Do you think maybe the whole series is dual IPS?

    my only qualm abt this is how is sending them into nintendo not the first thought? my 3ds was preowned by a kid who spilled soda in it and worked fine for a few months until both shoulder buttons and the touch screen stopped working along with other software issues. sent it in and now it works fine. that was three years ago.

      @Sally Smith but it's not hidden info, who buys any tech gadget anymore, without doing any kind of research, if you think that the bbb doesn't force companies to disclose all information somewhere, then that's not how business works. that's like saying when the fda forces companies to put nutritional facts on food, they hide all the bad ingredients.
