Why exactly with 3D mode off it lasts that much longer? It shouldn't.

The top screen has a 800x240 resolution when running in 3D.

That's 400x240 when you turn 3D off.

Add the processing power required by 3D effects and it would suck up quite a lot of power.

I'm computer challenged, but it seems weird to me, physical resolution of the screen doesn't change with 3D off (and I think it doesn't matter to power drain, brightness on the other hand...), processing power is likely too (still two processed images at the same time even in 2D mode).

400x240 res is for each eye. Think of the top screen as 2 screens.Each screen for each eye.

So, that means the 3DS really have 3 screens, LOL.
