3DS XL is hardware lottery. You might get IPS/TN, or you might get TN/TN. IPS/IPS still seems to be a possibility too, but it's not like the bottom screen matters much anyway.
My O3DS XL is TN/TN so it's not like I'd be downgrading either way. I just want the N3DS features, and $150 is already more than I want to spend on hardware so outdated.
