I only play in handheld mode, so I’m absolutely psyched for this. When I upgraded my 4K LCD TV to an OLED, it was a huge difference.

[@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou]

I would be.... IF they had put better hardware inside of it... But nope all they did was shine up a turd and leave the same crap outdated internals inside of it. I will admit the OLED screen makes it look so much better and it actually looks modern now. Though they could absolutely further reduce the bezels it is a huge improvement. This was one of the big things I was hoping for was a nice oled screen like the Vita came with. Now we need somewhat modern hardware and then ill upgrade. But until then there is no way I'm paying that much money for a switch with a better screen that cant even benefit from the better screen since so many of the good games are so blurry or foggy or whatever tricks they do to help with FPS on such poor hardware.

[@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou]

Not to mention they need to make OEM joycons that actually fit ADULT SIZED HANDS!!!!! Maybe they could take a note from Microsoft ffs its just sad. Pushing these awful quality joycons so they can keep selling the replacements for 70 bucks a pop when they break. I don't remember my vita or the psp having these controller problems... But conveniently the console with removable joycons has joycon issues and those joy cons are conveniently 70 DOLLARS! Its insane how greedy this company is and as much as I loved them as a kid I really do hope to see this company go under before I die.

[@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou]

@@themailman3331 yeah.... Like I said even slightly upgraded hardware and I would have been excited too. But they stuck with the same hardware that was outdated in 2017. People give nintendo too much praise meanwhile they shamed Sony out of the market when they were doing amazing things. I'm not praising Nintendo for putting out a console that still isn't vita quality meanwhile the Vita was released 6 years ahead of the switch.

I’m looking forward to that bit of extra room. Also I agree about oled screen. They can really make a difference.

about the burn in reduction the 5 minutes dont make a difference in what people are worried about, if youre playing a game chances are its hud is gonna stay on the screen for a *_really_* long time, people arent worried of just leaving the console on for too long, people are worried that the huds stay on screen for sometimes hours at a time that it will burn in

[@flaminggamer8128]

thats why im getting a switch v2 instead, because the oled can have burn ins and i already have that on my tv and its not good. edit - plus it c has less performance since no more upgrade to the inner parts rather than the screen.

[@oneproductionman]

Given that this "answering your questions" video never really touch the important question of "how long the battery life is", I guess its really that bad and Nintendo is asking him not to disclose it. Oled or not, I would bet most people bought a switch probably for mobile gaming and thus, endurance of its battery is prime importance. I rather buy another v2 that I could dock to an Oled TV than buy an Oled switch stuck with poor battery life.

[@guichabanaano27]

That glass screen might be also useful to a lot of games that require touch controlls like for all the mobile switch ports, but other than that it's just going to be more risky to carry with you around since glass, while tough, only needs one good hit and the whole screen cracks. So I don't personally think the OLED version is better for traveling which is one of the key features of the switch.

I'm surprised that in the first place, Nintendo never thought to include strips of sticker-pads/cushioning (you can actually buy 3rd party options for these on amazon, etc) for the inner bumpers of the dock. I thought it was common sense that sliding the switch between two hard surfaces is going to lead to unavoidable cosmetic damage. I actually bought a dock cable extension since day 1, so I've never had to actually put the switch inside the dock.

Regarding the Switch OLED lighting up the face of a woman in daylight, the photographer who takes these photos for Nintendo posts on the NVC Facebook group and said this: "We photographed on a moving city trolley, (during a non-public route), and used only natural light and the light of the device's screen. Yes, this screen is fantastically bright, I could have never got this illumination on a person's face with the original switch. No photoshop used on that light too."

[@RubenZwaard]

Dark mode with a gray theme is still dark mode. To get gray it doesn’t light up al the subpixels, to get white it does. So there is still a reduction in battery usage.

[@Raja995mh33]

You don't know how pixels work... to display gray, the display still need to light up all (sub)pixels. You can't display "gray" without using all three colors (red, green, blue). It can save a bit of battery life but only at higher brightness. At lower brightness, it pretty much doesn't even matter what colors you're displaying because the differences in power consumption even between white and black are super small.

1)Compare desible levels between Nomral Switch & Oled. 2) See if it can stand vertically (Tate mode) 3)How Labo VR looks.

[@scarffoxandfriends9401]

5:30 Oled isn't like plasma. You can't reduce the chance of burn in, just prolong how long it takes to do so. This is because images don't actually burn into the screen like with old technology. The O part of Oled (organic = carbon based) burns through like it's a micro piece of coal. This cannot be avoided. Just like with phones the Switch job is less to avoid burn in, but just prolong the issue until the next console is released. (I assume he understands this, just want to clarify for others).

[@synon7449]

So how long do oled screens take to start noticeable burn in? I had a vita and I never noticed it.

[@scarffoxandfriends9401]

@@synon7449 it counts how much you use it and how bright the content is. My Galaxy S9 showed burn in 2 years in ans it only got worse since. My Vita had the L2/R2 L3/L4 bubbles burned into the edges about 4 years in since we always used it as a 3rd controller for the PS4. On the Switch the most worrisome game would be Smash bros. As the percentage and character portraits are bright colors that show up in the same area of the screen. Something like BOTW has muted UI elements, so it isn't as much as a problem.

[@laarval]

@@scarffoxandfriends9401 also pro hud would help

[@Raja995mh33]

@@synon7449 that extremely depends on your usage. Simply said, the higher the brightness, the faster the burn in. When you use it only with low brightness you may never have any issues while using it at 100% all the time, you may see burn in elements even after only a few months. Also, plying games that always show something at the same spot (for example a black character that's always exactly centered on the screen or HUD elements) also are not that healthy for the screen.

It will be very interesting to test burn in on this thing with a long handheld play session of Monster Hunter Rise.

burn in isn't something that really happens after making "one mistake" and that's it -- it's cumulative, so someone who played 900 hours of mainly BoTW (even with breaks) but with little game variation could still see burn in from the HUD being the most common thing on the screen. People who play more than one game on the switch oled shouldn't really have any issues

[@malazan6004]

There won't be burn in go look at the vita which had an OLED screen almost 10 years ago and it wasn't a problem . Modern OLED are even better it's almost eliminated completely. The only time I've seen burn in is old plasma with people calling them OLED or boomers watching CNN alllllllll day and night for years with the tv logo sitting in the same spot. Modern OLED have a feature called screen shift where the screen shifts in micro incremental levels that you can't notice anyway. Just relax and use your switch and stop buying into the burn in stuff! Samsung pushed a lot of the burn in scare to sell their crappy QLEDs to try sabotage LG back in the day also. Especially with your example of playing monster hunter really? It takes hundreds of thousands of hours without changing games and content!

[@icebear3208]

That was a rumor, they have been putting that white little piece of foam since launch on some joy cons and others, don’t have them. My launch Joy Con had it, and my brand new Zelda Joy Cons do not have that foam in them. It’s really unfortunate. Also that foam hardly helps, because it doesn’t give enough pressure to actually make a notable difference from what I’ve seen.

[@Raja995mh33]

I personally don't get why it took them that long. Internally, the storage is just a module you can plug in like an NVMe on your mainboard. It's not soldered on or whatever.

@@danswope actually it would be faster since it had less cable to "travel" instead of going through and adapter and partly a little bit of signla would always be lost.

FYI, I have screen burn in reduction turned off on the regular switch as my TV isn't OLED. The screen still darkens after about 5 minutes of inactivity when in handheld or tabletop mode, and this isn't adjustable whatsoever, but the time it takes to sleep IS determined by your sleep mode time toggle in the settings, under sleep mode > auto-sleep when playing on console screen. It looks like Nintendo already thought ahead, as the TV Settings setting is exclusively for TVs.

Honestly, just in videos the display looks fantastic, I cannot wait to get mine on the 8th.

Battery savings between black and dark grey have been compared on phones. According to an article on XDA dark grey actually does provide significant battery savings while the difference between dark grey and pure black are minimal.

Ah maaannnn ! You've answered the question that no one could give me an answer to: "are the Hori Split pad pro compatible with the Oled model?" : and yes they are! Everyone would go "duuhhh everything is compatible!" but the the little parts on the back of the Split pad holding the back of the Switch weren't guaranteed to be compatible as the Oled is (on the paper) sliiightly ticker than the original model. I've even emailed Hori about it and they never get back to me. Thanks again!

Hi, Does the OLED screen help with colourblindness issues? I know a few games have the option to tweak those settings, but I was wondering if a more vibrant screen can help solve that even more? I'm not fully colourblind, but darker games basically show up as a massive dark spot for me, as an extreme example, some of the darker diablo 3 maps I have to navigate purely on minimap. Would an OLED screen help with that?

I'm glad to see that the wiggle on the switch isn't a defect. I thought I bought a defective model

i got a couple questions.. i'm absolutely pumped for the release of the n64 online and the controller as it was my favorite console (and controller) growing up. I currently own the regular Nintendo switch and was curious if you think its worth the upgrade to the OLED display specifically for the n64 update? I'm not worried about the cost as long as it gives a better experience over all. also, will my joycons be compatible with the newer system?

[@ragemuffin7427]

Thanks for answering I appreciate it

If you’re worried about scratching the switch in the dock then get thin strips of felt from Amazon. They’re double sided sticky and thin enough for the Switch to fit in the dock.

Question about screen tint. In your comparison of Switch vs Switch Lite, you noted that the latter had a 'colder' colour cast. Where does the Switch OLED stand?

[@GAMEandRODO]

I hope you eventually check carrying cases like the one's that PowerA produce, I have one and I love it, I don't want to throw it out if the Switch OLED doesn't fit. Can you check various cases designed for the original Switch models (Launch & Red-box)?

[@brandon_nope]

carrying cases should have enough give to allow the OLED model to fit

KEVIN, how much better is the screen when using it outside & sunlight is hitting it?? a big gripe I have with many screens is barely being able to see things when sunlight is hitting the screen, I mean, I would like to get some sun while I game so people think I go outside :D

Can you compare ethernet speeds through the new dock's LAN port and an old dock with an adapter or a USB hub? I use a USB-C hub on my old dock's rear USB which gives me extra USB ports and a LAN connection, for example. I'm wondering if the speeds are better now than through an adapter.

I was just checking out his jacket when he said that 🤣

On the burn in issue, is there anything to reduce burn in potential in active gameplay? Can it do black frame insertion to trade off some brightness for some imperceptible black frames that “wipe” the screen and any static HUDs to prevent burn in?
