3D Image is Blurry
Nintendo 3DS
The information in this article can help you when the upper screen image appears in 3D, but it is blurry or unclear.
What to do
- View the screen from straight on (not at an angle) from about 10 - 14 inches away. With the New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL, view angles should not matter as much.
- Avoid conditions where direct sunlight or other strong light is reflecting off the screen.
- If using the New Nintendo 3DS or New Nintendo 3DS XL, calibrate Super-Stable 3D.
- Clean the upper screen.
Situation not resolved
Nintendo no longer services the following systems:
- Original Nintendo 3DS - Serial numbers begin with “CW” or “CB”
- Original Nintendo 3DS XL - Serial numbers begin with “SW” or “SB”
- New Nintendo 3DS - Serial numbers begin with “YW”
- New Nintendo 3DS XL - Serial numbers begin with “QW” or "QB"
- Nintendo 2DS - Serial numbers begin with "AW" or "AB"
