Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo 3DS to feature 3.4-inch Sharp parallax barrier display?

HappySqurriel on 02 April 2010

The main thing that makes me question these specs is that the screen resolution is (roughly) 8 times the resolution of the DS screen. The screen size is reasonable being that it is only somewhat larger than the DS screem (about a 10% increase in size in both dimensions, or a 20% increase in size in one dimension)

It is hard to tell what screen they will finally go with. I can however see them choosing a screen that will be "wide screen"

No, people calling it a joke, was the joke.

3DS is the successor to the DS. Like how the DS was the successor to the GBA, Wii successor to the GameCube etc...

Anywho, can't wait for E3. This is going to be a great show.

The screen resolution seems to be roughly widescreen 480p.

I am hoping that the screen will display 720p or 1080p, I have also heard that you may be able to stream Netflix movies to the DS/3DS.

Yes, but if it is like the DS there will be two screens at this resolution and it has to support this resolution while rendering images in 3D; whether one screen or both screens have 3D capabilities. That will require a lot of processing power, especially when you consider that it is a handheld system. Personally, I wouldn't expect the resolution to be this high; and I would think that something in the 320x570 pixel range is more likely.
