The bottom ds looks more washed out. You can see in the top ds the hair is darker and the grass is greener. I tried messing with the pentimeters but all it does is make it more washed out. How could I fix this? The difference is much more noticeable in person.

Color difference is normal. Not all displays are calibrated the same. I also have several 3ds/2ds that each has a different look and feel, some look warmer others colder, others less colorful ect...
Dsi xl doesn't look very colorful in general or at least the few i have seen, the ds lite has the most saturated colors.

It may depend on if you have had them from new or know the history of the console.

One may have had a screen replacement at some point - most brand new screens are not of the same quality as an OEM screen.

Or one may have been used a lot more than the other - the screens wear over time, often they start to 'yellow' round the edges.

You could switch them both on without a game in them and compare the brightness of the white background on the 'Nintendo DSi XL' welcome screen.

I got this DSI on ebay which was supposedly brand new sealed never used. It has some slight yellowing in the edges, can that happen sitting in a box or does it have to be used?

That's good to know. I'm going to buy a DSi XL specifically because of the IPS screens and it just seems like one of the best ways to play DS games with a bigger screen.

    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.

    @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".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    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
