It's either fibre glass or normal glass it's not plastic as plastic and self-emissive pixels don't really work well given that OLED is essentially voltages that create pixels well least that's part of how it works on my BX CX and C1 I have an OLED in each room you really can't go back once you've gone OLED 👍👍👍

That's standard affair for any Nintendo device tbh. This OLED screen doesn't sound particularly cutting edge either since 500 nits or more brightness is standard at this point for mid-range smartphones with much higher resolution (it is more difficult for higher density screens to get bright). My biggest issue with the Switch screen was outdoor visibility and that doesn't seem to be adressed whatsoever here with 340 nits max brightness OLED Switch.

I bought switch lite first and was perfectly happy with the display since I mostly play while working in darker room. So I never pulled the trigger on the switch Oled when it came out because I’d figure if I want play serious gaming session then I would be hooking up my Oled lg c2 tv anyways. But pulled the trigger when the switch Oled TOTK version came out and now I actually prefer to play the switch Oled over my lg Oled because the switch Oled great size and weight for my casual gaming while working. And also my eyes get so tired working on monitor all day that when my shift ends I just want to rest and the switch Oled definitely made gaming after work more enjoyable

As nice as it looked in person, I'm patient. When a new model can offer the performance to match the screen I'll throw Nintendo some more cash. Not asking for 60fps on everything, just more overall stability. Locked 30, with maybe a few more polygons on screen in bigger titles. I'm happy with the switch V2 until then.

The Switch is really the realization of Nintendo ideas to connect handhelds to TVs. They've been experimenting with the idea ever since the Gameboy. I point this out because no one ever expected the Gameboy to be on par with the SNES nor the GBA with Gcube etc. End of the day, the Switch is a handheld with the option to play on a TV.

Should have been this version when it first launched. The incremental polishing of the unit is similar in the way games are released in a rush and then patched later. It is near enough the same price since day one 2017, did it really take 4 years for a revised kickstand, lan port in the dock, and an oled panel?

my first and only switch at the time was a second handed one, never really failed me but the previous owner wasn't the cleanest and most delicate person so the fact that the old model was plastic in almost all senses made the wear seem more noticeable. i finally updated to the Oled Switch last year and omg. this is how the switch was meant to be released but i guess the hybrid concept was already a big bet, so they may have recurred to cheaper casing and materials for the first model.

The OLED panel here has a PPI of about 209.8. That is downright abominable, made only worse by the fact that OLED panels use a Pentile Matrix configuration for pixels, RGBG, rather than traditional RGB found in LCDs. This naturally means OLEDs aren't as sharp as LCDs at the same given "resolution". I can't imagine how someone wouldn't notice the pixels on a display this size held at most at arms length. Also, unless you love HUD elements burning into a display (technically pixels burned out), OLED is a bad choice for serious gaming.

07:33 I don't know if you meant it like that, but it sound like you see it as a negative thing that the LCD has a red tint. The opposite is the case as you can see with your dE. The red helps the LCD to achieve a more neutral whitepoint. I am not able to see the color temperature, but I would guess that the OLED has a cooler temperature. Just my 2 cents. Otherwise great review as always.

It's definitely not enough. It's not like OLED is anything new either. We've had OLED/AMOLED phones for years and even budget phones have them these days, not to mention the original Vita model also had it. I really wish they would release some sort of pro model with the new tegra chip, but they probably won't because it will sell millions no matter what, they could release a 240p handheld again and noone would complain. I will probably keep emulating Switch games for now, it's not perfect, but i can at least play most of them at 1440p 60 at this point even the ones usually locked to 30. I will still buy the physical games though as always.

"they could release a 240p handheld again and noone would complain." Yeah, sure dude. Nintendo may be ancient when it comes to their hardware but they are not THAT ancient. The 3DS had 240p and the next console they did had a 480p screen (Wii U) and the Switch in 2017 with 720p. Look at Valve's Deck with hardware being close to 1000$ being sold at 400$ and they still only gave it a 800p screen. Imagine thinking they would do another handheld and give it 240p screen (why did they even bother with 240p for the 3DS, why didn't they just go again with 192p like the Nintendo DS?) and then thinking NO ONE would complain...

The Steam Deck is only 720p handheld, don't see many people complaining about that right? Honestly 720p is absolutely fine for a portable system, the OLED panel offering the type of popping colours that the Lite could only dream of with its washed out LCD. I have a Lite and original 2016 launch Switch, I love both but having seen this OLED model in the flesh the screen really is lovely. Sure, slightly lower PPI, but barely noticable in my opinion without really going into pixel counts.

@@jacobfield4848 I never said anything about being “next gen”. Nintendo will never be putting out consoles comparable to PlayStation or Xbox, that’s not their market. They dominate in Japan with the handheld market, always have done since the original DMG days. The Switch needs a revision, not an entire makeover. Beef up the SOC with a new CPU/GPU chipset and that’s all they need to do. The OLED is a step towards this.

And I'd argue it's a waste of money to even manufacture tbh because they're coming up wtih too many models of a console that is just kinda bland and they didn't have to waiver off from the original design if anything they should of just kept improving the og model and fucck off with the lite and this oled version. IF anything someone else brought up a good point it should of just been the lite version that got the Oled upgrade this is all a waste of resources manufacturing SLIGHTly different kinds of switches

@Dr. Hibbs thanks for your answer! As you’ve said, this condition is specific to each person. Unfortunately, I upgraded from an iPhone 12 (LG screen and 220Hz flicker frequency) to the new iPhone 13 Pro (Samsung panel with double the flicker frequency, 480Hz) and while the iPhone 12 only caused me some eye discomfort the first few days, I’m having more issues with the new phone and I’m going to return it… So I don’t think manufacturers has made any real improvement to this issue. I can’t wait for the microLED screens!

Here's the thing, it may be "the premium model you always wanted," but you receive these things from Nintendo for free to review. The rest of us would have to buy it twice just to get the model that should have been available at launch. And you will toadie Nintendo by claiming "they've always done that going back to the Gameboy." And it was disgusting and shameful then. Nintendo will only get my money again for something that can run BotW in 60fps. Nothing less. They're just seeing who will buy this garbage.

I honestly don't say this about you guys, but this seriously seems like it's either biased or paid. You are making this seem like a day and night difference when it is absolutely not. It's a difference, sure but it's not a big upgrade like you are making it out to be. This review just seems artificial in nature.
