    I had an iPad mini for a little bit and the LCD panel and the black/gray levels were just so atrocious compared to the OLED iPad Pro. I think everything I own in mini-LED/OLED now..

    feel you I'm oled-pilled as well atp, this would be my first lcd in years. I will say tho lcd tech has gotten better in recent years, it won't be the same lcd screen tech that was in 2017 switch

    Don’t worry it’s not gonna be like the switch LCD, it’ll be a much much better display. Screens have come a long way, not just oled tech.

    I mean... I feel like this statement gets thrown around but I don't know how true it is. There were LCD screens with excellent color gamut, brightness levels, refresh rate, etc. available seven years ago. LCD today is still one uniform backlight and OLED is lit up on a per-pixel basis for excellent contrast ratio

    Today's LCD will not have better contrast ratio than an OLED from three years ago, because that's just fundamentally not how the technologies work, and what I'll be comparing is Switch 1 OLED vs. Switch 2 LCD

    Basically what I'm getting at is that brightness, color gamut, refresh rate, resolution etc might all be excellent on the LCD. But it will not have the contrast ratio of an OLED panel

    edit: UNLESS it has local dimming, which can help achieve better contrast ratios. An LCD panel with really good local dimming might get me to bite. Otherwise I'm holding out for Switch 2 OLED

    I get what you’re saying, I definitely think Nintendo will be cognizant of this in choosing the display. Especially because they’ll be advertising the switch family of products together for years to come likely and they don’t want the switch 1 oled looking better.

    They’ll definitely work hard to get a great contrast and design it with that weakness in mind. You also have to consider the fact that it’s a 1080p display so the pixels will add a lot, but also that a big selling point is going to be the docked 4k experience, so as a package I think the oled is just dwarfed and I will sell mine tbh. I’m guessing though, I just think Nintendo isn’t going to risk f***ing it up like that after WIi U fumble.

    Do you think they'll continue to sell any of the original Switch line after the Switch 2 unveiling? I'd think that would be super messy if they end up having Switch 2 exclusives. Of course if Switch 1 can run all of the Switch 2 titles just at lower fidelity then I'd expect them to keep a model or two around at lower price points

    Yes they will continue to sell them side by side, probably discontinuing the original switch and the lineup will be oled1 + switch 2 and then a switch 2 lite soon after

    MP4, Pokémon legends Z-A, and a few other titles will be cross-gen but I have no idea how long they will do that

    I don’t think it’s that messy

    Switch 2 was legit probably suppose to drop in the fall

    Those rumors that it got delayed to 2025 because of softwares were probably true

    Why are we all of a sudden seeing accessory leaks? Switch 2 was definitely a fall 2024 thing

    Yeah I think you can wait another 1-3 years before getting one. But I am so far considering waiting until the OLED version of the NS 2 is out tbh
