ad345zAdZ0d9_ Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hi all! Topic is pretty self-explanitory. I bought a Nintendo DS system around 6 weeks ago, and already have notices a yellowish hue has appeared on the bottom screen. I don't get the pure white that I get on the top DS Lite screen. Does anyone else notice this. It's not a major problem, but If it's a defect I'd love to get it changed. I'm in the UK cheers Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway. Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I think all of the DS Lite bottom screens have a slight yellowish hue on them. That's just how they were made I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadrack Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Mine is the same way. I don't notice on games that use a lot of color on the bottom screen. I think the top screen has higher color contrast then the bottom screen all together. The screen doesn't look as yellow if I look directly at it but worse at angles. If I hold the unit verticle like you do in brain age, the screen looks really yellow! Game designers should take note and avoid mostly white screens on the bottom.

Hooya Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 http://ds.ign.com/articles/721/721201p1.html I should add that I haven't noticed this on mine and I've had it since day 2 of the US release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Raa Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 slightly different but to do with bottom screen, my bottom and top screens seem slightly tilted. this photo exaggerates it a bit but meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrarbc Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 It's not just you, but the tint is not normal either. It is a defect of the screens. Unless it is a severe discoloration it's not so bad though, certainly better than stuck and dead pixels. And of course the cracking hinge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dessimat0r Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Best if you turn the flash off on your camera if you want to take a picture of an LCD screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji@nBing Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 It's normal for the bottom screen to have a slightly different color than the top one because it's a touch screen. It's also not quite as clear. It was the same with the regular DS too; it just wasn't as noticable because the screens were much darker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Raa Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Best if you turn the flash off on your camera if you want to take a picture of an LCD screen. I don't know how :blush: I'll have a delve into the options later but yeh, does anyone reckon I should bother taking it back to the shop where I bought as they'll (reluctantly) take it back if I show them the pic I posted here... is it worth it or will all DS's have this problem, I don't notice it when I'm playing as I'm like, in the game, but like when I'm not playing it's annoying (if only slightly).
