Nintendo 3DS XL sports less reflective screen than its predecessor, improved parallax effect:
Supersized screens may be the centerpiece of
Nintendo's 3DS XL, but a new Iwata Asks interview reveals that its top display packs some new anti-glare tech too. Takashi Murakami, from the company's Mechanical Design Group, notes that each of the LCD's three glare-prone layers were specially treated to reduce reflectivity from the original 3DS' 12 percent, down to three. According to head honcho Iwata, anti-reflection coatings have been on the Big N's radar since the
GameBoy Advance era, but were typically abandoned because they were too pricey. The Q&A session also confirmed something we noticed when we put the handheld through the
review gauntlet -- the larger display increases the parallax effect, which translates to a deeper looking
3D experience. If your current handheld's screen bounces too much light for your liking, the XL can take its place starting
August 19th in North America.
