I got a preowned DSi XL last year and the condition is great except for a couple marks on the screen and I was wondering what they could have originated from. I've put a couple photos of what it looks like below (big images, be warned and please excuse the dust):

For context:
- I can't wipe the two dots off of the top screen and the gluey-looking marks are irremovable.
- As said on the Flipnote photo, the mark on the top right corner of the bottom screen darkens parts of the screen, it's much more visible with your own eyes and hard to photograph.

Also, would it be worth getting the screens replaced? It drives me a bit crazy when I notice these imperfections during a game.

Those look like badly applied screen protecting foils with dust particles and air bubbles underneath.
Consider trying to carefully remove them (if these are screen protectors).
