The OLED model actually has a new color setting in the system menu and defaults to "vivid". That's why the color is much more saturated.

[@timotheatae]

Actually, VIVID is default, they said in a developer interview that the "Standard" mode is just intended to look like the LCD screen.

[@ES-qy2ju]

@@timotheatae actually makes sense to be in this way, since most of oled display has a wider color gamut by default nowdays.

[@Jaker788]

@@ES-qy2ju As long as it's accurate, but my guess it's it's as accurate as an LG OLED in vivid mode. People are disappointed when you get the perfect SRGB output that games are designed in.

[@ES-qy2ju]

@@Jaker788 well, the vivid profile is rather the native color of the panel, the standard profile limits the maximum saturation of the panel by software, in any case i would not expect the Standard profile to be really accurate either, just typical.

[@Jaker788]

@@ES-qy2ju There's no real "native" color of a panel, it'll do whatever color you ask for, the range is just higher and denser on 10 bit panels, which this may not even be. But using a vivid profile completely jacks up the requested color into something oversaturated and wrong because the display is interpreting in the wrong color space (SRGB or REC 709 as the output but interpreting it in REC 2020), a calibrated profile would look more muted but closest to how it really was in real life. That's how a lot of HDR TVs do vivid profiles, if it's not a 10 bit panel, it's essentially just moving the color space target to be more saturated and "look good". In video games I think it's up to some preference, but live action or TV it's just too much.

[@coolioam8137]

But those damn games man they sure know how to make some sick shit.

[@notlekrut]

Yeah. After 4/5 years of selling already outdated hardware by the time it came out, they think it's fair to still increase the price $50 to justify an OLED display(and a better stand and ethernet port, wow). And people still give the excuse of "shortages", "OLED is more expensive" as if that justifies it. Nintendo is probably the only company that actually manages to sell a console for a good profit at launch and still have people defend it's high price. I still can't believe we have the same shitty Tegra chip after so long. Like, sure it still plays games good enough and still gets debatably decent ports but it's crazy that we have to justify that when we could have something so so much better. Nintendo's console margins are so much higher than the competition, and people just keep buying it, so they'll just keep doing what they do well which is games. And people will happily overpay for weak outdated hardware to play their games and not realize that they could have something so much better. It's just sad there's no competition in this market, and the Steam Deck likely won't compete with it at all. I'd love to see an actual PSP2, something as good as the original PSP was back in the day, but now. Sadly I don't think we'll have anything close to that anytime soon.

I don't see why this is an option Nintendo couldn't give normal switch users.

"I don't care about performance because I can just play on a pc". Linus is confusing performance with extra performance. I don't care about playing with 120 fps or some shit on the switch. I have my PC for that. I care about playing games on 720p with smooth 30 fps which the switch is not able to do. That's the difference. I'm glad that I'm only renting the switch right now and didn't buy it because due to no real emotional attachment I can freely say that the Switch is a bad console. Everytime I scroll through the Pokemon select screen on Unite, I want to end myself. Nintendo figured out that they can release subpar hardware and people will still buy it with their release of the OG Gameboy. That's why the Steamdeck is not a "Switch killer". Not at all. The Steamdeck could be 10x more performant than currently, only cost 10 bucks, and Switch players still wouldn't care because the newest Zelda and Mario won't be on it. That's why Ninendo will NEVER totally open to third-party Platform releases. They do that, their console market dies because nobody with a sane mind would buy another Nintedo console again. At the end of the day it's Nintendo doing everything they can to maximize profits through every Anti-consumer practice they know. Honestly, can't blame them. If people bought my shit, I would sell my shit.

[@kirin1230]

THIS! I don't care about frame rate of graphics in all honesty, but in 2021, I was hoping for a hardware revision that at least allowed for all games to run at 30fps while docked at their max resolution.

The larger screen is honestly the best part about the OLED model but even with that point I wonder why people don't just play it while docked when at home. There are obvious use cases like someone sharing a display with someone else in their house but everybody I know has more displays than people in their households so I'm not sure how many people that would apply towards.

Despite all the complaints I have with my gen2 lcd Switch, the OLED is worth the 50 bucks extra if you don't already own one. If the wifi connection, lan connection were greatly improved on the oled, then for sure. Because I hate it how I still get crazy ass Ping on my lcd switch even with a working lan adapter.

[@jpsalis]

@@sks220 drift happens more often because of time on the joysticks. But the case on the joycon also doesn't support the back of the joystick, which means overtime using the stick (or using the stick click a lot) can put stress on it and reduce the contact between the resistive element and the wiper.

I just replaced my switch due to this. I thought the panel was faulty and ended up getting a replacement that has worse uniformity. A statement from Nintendo acknowledging this would be nice. I had to search quite a bit just to find out this is most likely a problem with all units to varying degrees but it is never discussed in any reviews. A lot of dark scenes look awful and it ruins the appeal of the oled panel.

[@brendenosullivan210]

Frankly, the kickstand and reduced bezels combined obviously with the OLED screen made the purchase worth it to me. I cannot go back to using my old model anymore, it just feels cheap in every way now, so it sits in my newer dock to act purely as a TV-bound console to play party games. I have never docked my OLED Switch, and I don't really intend to frankly. Just look at the opening menus in dark mode IN PERSON and I don't think you'd ever want to go back to an original switch, let alone the Lite. The screen also feels significantly larger even though the difference really isn't that big. Great video, but it's truly something you need to compare in person to really appreciate the differences. Of course there are alot of technical upgrades I would have liked to see, I really wanted a Switch Pro. At the price difference here though, if you're getting your first Switch there's not much of an argument to be made in favor of the small savings for an original.

[@stevew145]

Cant believe they didn't notice that they are in fact, not the same size, and the oled is just enough bigger that no accessories will fit. Watching this while playing kakarot on my new oled switch.
