Hello I wanted to swap my New 3DS XL screen that is dual TN with IPS screens from a Japanese New 3DS XL that I bought from ebay. I paid a professional to swap the screens for me because I don't think I can trust myself for the top screen part. So, I was wondering if it was necessary to install CFW right now, because I am aware of the screen calibration and HWCAL settings. Or can I do this process after installing or do I have to do something beforehand sending it in for the service. I need someone to help me walk down with these steps.

Personally, I wouldn't bother. The differences between the two screens are so marginal that you don't notice the difference unless you play your 3ds at a 70-degree angle, and it's not worth potentially damaging both machines.

Talk about marginal... Here I Posted the comparison of all of my New 3DS XLs. On the left is a Japanese Pearl White New 3DS XL with dual IPS screens, the center is my old Solgaleo Lunala New 3DS XL with a Top IPS and bottom TN, and to the right is my new Solgaleo Lunala New 3DS XL with dual TN screens. The issue with the White 3DS is that the screens are on the cooler side, has less contrast, and generally has the colors off. My old 3DS is the setup I'm looking for! The screens have near if not a perfect white balance, contrastier than the other 2, and has colors on point, but is a bottom TN and the 3DS is not in my ideal condition. My new 3DS is in perfect condition but has the ugly dual TN setup and has everything way off.

Forgot to mention that the new 3DS has a warmer tone than the other 2 which is less desirable than a cooler tone.

My ultimate goal is swapping the new 3DS with the Japanese dual IPS screens and having the same calibration that my old one has. Just stating this so it can be clear of what I want.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
