Hey,

I'm from Poland, I want buy Nintendo DS lite, but I read about "yellow tint" on touchscreen.

1 Are models manufactured in 2008 good and without this problem?

2. Can I read on box when was my console manufactured? (is this information on box?)

3. I don't want get this problem, because in Poland Nintendo DS lite is expensive... Where i should buy my handheld? (Is Media Markt good shop?)

Cheers

This might still be a pretty common problem. I know mine has a slight yellow tint that is noticable once in a while. I actually forgot about it until I saw the title of this thread. It isn't that noticable unless the touch screen is mostly white.

The only time you'll notice it, is at the intro screen where it is completely white. While in game you wont notice.

I think that the yellow tint was only in the first year or so of the ds lite's life.

I've never heard of this problem.. I bought my white DS Lite around 2 years ago and there is no yellow tint on the screen, so you should be fine.

Your DS is fine because u bought it 2 years ago... Yellow tinted toychscreen is problem new models of ds lite... Nintendo bought "new" screens and they are badly, becouse they are cheaper.

But it isn't noticeable at gaming.

I've never even heard about a problem like this. Anyway, I got my DS Lite in May last year, and nothing unusual has been happening with the touch screen.

Man, why nintendo keeps lowering quality to cut $$$$? Well, at least if the screen don't get easily scratched, i dont really see a problem if you don't see this tint while playing.

Yeah some of the DS's suffer from the touch screen having this yellow tint that is noticable. I use to have the red and black DS and I recently got rid of it because that yellow tint was bugging me.
