Depends on if you ever see the IPS version, they are night and day, but yea overall resolution is poop.

Don't actively seek out pictures of IPS and you'll be fine. Before I knew about them I was perfectly fine with my TN. It's perfectly serviceable. It's only now that I have a dual IPS and a top screem IPS model as well that the TN one now never gets used.

i found the difference between the two dont matter as much with the new x, my first new xl was ips and my 2nd was tn and the difference isnt big enough to go out of the way for ips
also the resolution may be low but atleast games play at the native resolution
the vita may have had a high res screen but the majority of the games on it, would render at lower res

From my experience with the Mario Black Friday new 3DS, I thought that the TN panels used for that particular batch were lousy. It wasn't only that the colors looked washed out (compared to the New 3DS XL I have with an IPS top screen) but I noticed ghosting was way more apparent in games like Binding of Isaac Rebirth. It was very apparent that reds and blacks smeared when there was character movement. My XL's top screen handles movement + 3D very well.
Edit: I really didn't mean to bump this thread but I saw that Nintendo is still selling N3DS refurbs so I thought I'd chime in.

the tn screens in the new 3ds do seem a lot worse than the tn screens in the xl from what i've seen of pics of the n3ds

I really like the tn on my n3ds. I even preferred it over an ips one I got from eBay (which I ended up selling and kept the tn)
I've been playing a lot on my Black Friday N3DS and the TN panels look fine. My N3DS XL has a top IPS panel, which does look better, but it's mostly noticeable when viewing the screen at an angle (no color washout).
I like the size and form factor of the N3DS. It's one of the best 3DS/2DS options imo, even with TN panels. I also own an OG 3DS XL with TN panels, and they look the same. Not sure what some people are seeing.

Is there any way just to check a model number? I'm really struggling trying to identify mine and someone is asking on Ebay

are there any games that highlight the difference between a tn and IPS in motion?
