So WHY did they cheap out on the screen? The ghosting and color inaccuracy is pretty noticeable and I think most people would prefer a more expensive switch than to get a subpar screen. People here shit on apple but when have they ever released a screen that isn't pleasing to look at, they're all well calibrated and high quality so for nintendo to be even below one of the most hated companies online is just sad and pathetic

>>714065389 (OP)
nintendo fans will defend this

your boycott failed
your fake outrage failed
switch 2 is the fastest selling console in history and to this day it's still selling out

I've seen people saying this a hundred times and I just got my hands on one and have no idea what the fuck you or my retarded bandwagoning friends are talking about. It's gorgeous in motion. The colors are great. The blacks aren't OLED but they're close. It's like some retard like Linus Trans Tips plugged in his super pixel tester 9000 and decreed that something you can't make out with the naked eye was below the current performance levels of $1,000 PC monitors and is thus complete unplayable garbage, and everyone on the entire internet greedily sucked down his estrogenized semen and instantly agreed with him because they're butthurt they can't find one to buy themselves.

>>714065682
it's no coincidence the only people "noticing" issues are clickbait youtubers, and the only people agreeing with them are poorfags who've never seen a switch 2 irl and desperately want to believe it's bad

>>714065598
Nigger I own one, I just don't under why they don't max it out with fully premium parts. I would gladly pay for a maxed out switch 2. At least have different options for a cheapo switch 2 and a maxed out one like how apple and other computer companies operate

If it is so noticeable then why did it take weeks for someone to post anything about it?

it's great imho

>>714065389 (OP)
because they hate you and think you're so stupid you'll lap it up and by the OLED refresh

>>714065792
I noticed the ghosting on day 1. It's still fully playable it just looks retarded. Boot up donkey kong country and rapidly press left and right. You will see it and shit bricks, it's one slow ass screen

>>714065774
Because they decided not to sell the hardware at a loss this gen, and the version you're talking about would be $800

that price is only profitable in japan because they don't have to pay import taxes and japanese people actually buy games while the west has too many browns who only play free to play shit or one sports/shooting game per year

>>714065389 (OP)
The console is made at budget for profit. Nintendo doesnt take the sony approach of selling at a loss to attract more consumers. If they fix the lcd then they would need a better battery. Battery tech has not advanced in some years. Almost every computer tablet rn only runs for like an hour or two before flatlining,
>inb4 muh indie shit gets 7 hours
You can do the same thing on switch 2. They could give you a better battery, but then you will complain about the size and price, they could keep tje screen at 720p and give you another 2 hours of battery life, but then you will complain about image quality. They could give you both but then you will complain about the price. They could ditch the hybrid gimmik and go full console, but then you would complain about the lack of soul. I could go on.

If you never owned the OLED and have nothing else to compare it to, its probably fine.

>>714067228
Not saying that just wondering if maybe they could have used a oled 60hz panel for the same manufacturing cost considering even first party switch 1 updates dont even run above 60
Cant imagine many of their games are going to be above 60

>>714065389 (OP)
To get the beta testers double dip when the OLED model comes out.

Nigger it's an 8nm samsung chip. It's a less advanced node than those TSMC N7 phone CPUs from 2019. It's practically cheap as sand to produce. Nintendo doesn't need people buying their games to make up for the manufacturing cost and more.

Nintendo has always cheaped out on products it's part of its console maker style

Switch 2's margins are like 50%. At the very least. See: >>714067748

>>714068017
Sure, but their systems used to be priced very competitively too. Now they don't give a shit.

>>714065389 (OP)
Cause they'll most likely release a Switch 2™ V2 in a few years and an OLED screen on a handheld device is a great hook to grab potential customers with. Think about it, what else would they release for the revised model? Its also a good gimmick to have up their sleeves in case another competitor steps up to the scene.

>>714065774
>I would gladly pay for a maxed out switch 2
That's the issue, you and a few others (myself included) would get a premium switch, but people were already bitching about the current switch 2 not being sold for $300 what do you think would've happend if they made a $750 premium switch?

I will be completely honest but for $450, making the panel LCD is bullshit. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it.
OLED screens have better colors, use 60% less power than LCD screens. And while they are more expensive than LCD there aren't as expensive for it not to be considered.

>>714068269
I honestly don't believe Nintendo would invest the time and effort to provide "Switch Pro" upgrades for any and all games.

>>714067329
Nigger OLED panels use less power than LCD and are smaller which you can use that space to put a larger battery which increases the battery life by A LOT. Not a little, a lot. My brother has an OLED Steam Deck. And compared to my older LCD Steam Deck his not only looks better but lasts much longer.

>>714068051
If you tried running anything on a phone that was more intensive than a youtube video you would know about heating issues. There is almost no internal cooling on phones. The switch has a big ol heatsink in it. If you really want me to get into engineering tricks with you i will but id rather not make my brain have to work ar 4am.

>>714065389 (OP)
>The ghosting and color inaccuracy is pretty noticeable
Funny how nobody complained until an "expert" said so.

>>714065950
I'm pretty sure they manually adjusted contrast for switch 2 botw, also do they both have the same kind of screen protector on in this?

>>714065389 (OP)
If you look up any jewtuber video about the matter you will see 3 types of videos.

Skip to 3:50.
Not only the nigger is comparing it to 144-520hz high end monitors (granted, most are 144-165hz), he's also comparing them with the switch 2 at 60hz.
How was this done you ask? By comparing the pixel movement through an ufo test video.
How did they do it on the switch 2 you ask if it has not been jailbroken and the official filmware has no internet browser? Through a youtube video, which downclocks the screen to 60hz to save battery (because no jewtube video goes over that anyway) like any game that doesn't use the full 120hz would.
The video even literally admits to the downclocking around 4:50 even, "Switch 2 60hz IPS LCD"

Also in the first place you can't even download the youtube app on the switch 2 as it has compatibility issues, to get it there you need to transfer it from a switch 1.

Because it's good enough, you don't need more on a handheld. And fuck off with the 60fps meme, it might be need on a PC, but on a console, especially a handheld, 30fps is more than enough.

First Nintendo console launch?

>>714065389 (OP)
Who gives a shit about the screen? You are going to play it docked 99% of the time anyway.
I bought one on launch day and haven't played hand held a single time.

>>714065389 (OP)
pretty sure 9 out of 10 times the answer is just to cut production costs im sure it costed them next to nothing to keep using the same fucking shitty switch 1 joysticks rather than something new the screen for me isn't really a problem since im keeping it docked the only time i took it off was to do that welcome tour minigame

>>714074021
why the fuck would I buy a handheld but never unplug it from the tv?

>>714074021
Nintendo had to kill their home console line because nobody wanted them. Portability saved their hardware so you bet your ass people are going to want use this handheld as a handheld and people who use it mainly docked are the outlier.

As some have said, Nintendo always makes low-budget products.
The only thing really unexpected about this screen is that it is considerably slower than the Switch 1, which is already low budget in the first place. This is pretty insane, and my explanation is that Nintendo wanted to try to make the image look more or less attractive to the eye, comparable to OLED, and when it comes to LCD monitors, attractive image is almost always the opposite of response time. That's why almost any monitor for digital art will be ruled out for gaming (even if it has response times 2x or 3x faster than the Switch 2).

>>714074069
Blame Nintendo for not making a cheaper TV-only unit.

>>714065957

literally happened to me decades ago. got a PSP 2000, was happy with it, a friend who had another model of PSP made remarks that mine had horrible "ghosting" compared to his, could never unsee it and wasn't happy with it anymore...

>>714066926
There is only 1 panel for the switch 2. Some people are just too low IQ to notice any ghosting, the same people who can't notice input lag or 30 vs 60 fps and whatnot. If there were different panels there would be videos of the screen without ghosting. They literally think you need special cameras to see the ghosting lmao, I almost pity retards but not really. 30 fps games are literally a blurry mess you can't see shit in motion

>>714068949
The screenshots are not the same, they have different angles/time of day. If you compared a still image the OLED would obviously look way better. Plus they are comparing the switch 2 version vs switch 1, which have different colors, it's just a retarded bait image

I wanted to buy an OLED monitor for my PC. the only thing that disappoints me in the switch 2 is the screen. I already knew there were no games at release, only Mario kart which is just a standard racing party game. I am actually thankful I didn't buy the monitor, my OLED tv has been giving me headaches, fuck that no more OLED for me

>>714075245
its not a bad screen, if nobody told you it was bad you probably wouldnt notice anything. I can spot the ghosting in the splatoon hub area but thats if im looking for it. I think the original switch had an awful screen that was noticably bad, s2 is much nicer

I wonder how this place would react if we were living in the 90s and it was Nintendo vs SEGA during the GameBoy and Gear Drive whatever they called it days. Plus the Wonder Swan.

The more obnoxious elements seem to be the PC mentally stunted fanboys of /r/GCJ and /v era/ making platform warring their personality. The Switch 2 hyper focus campaign on the screen is really a nonissue.

Not according to your bitching coming up to the launch date lmao. You're delusional.

>>714073890
I like the Switch 2 but 60fps is a necessity, at least for me. You can tell when a game is 30 fps immedietly and it takes you out of the experience. Most Switch games especially on the Switch 2 run a lot better than people would expect

>>714075801
>The Switch 2 hyper focus campaign on the screen is really a nonissue.

I can see this shit in motion, but like one of my best m8's cant.

>>714076470
This. Nintendo is basically the Apple of the gaming industry. Overpriced slop that has a weird cult following.

>>714065389 (OP)
Nintendo’s classic screen lottery: with the New 3DS, there were both TN and IPS panel variants. And with the non-OLED Switch you had 4 to 5 different screen suppliers, each offering at least two types of panels. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if tariffs led to a higher percentage of cheaper, lower-quality screens being shipped to the U.S. to boost profit margins. Meanwhile, Japanese units likely got the premium panels.

I was curious about the Switch 1 screen, and although it has really poor motion clarity, its color calibration isn't bad. It's better than, for example, the Samsung smartphone I had, which leans heavily toward blue.
I compared the Switch 1 screen with my monitor, which is properly calibrated with external equipment, with same brightness, and you can see that the colors on the monitor are more "vivid" (I believe this is because the color gamut is slightly larger, since my monitor has 100% sRGB and the Switch 1 probably doesn't reach that), but other than that, the colors are very close to the real thing.
Switch 2, on the other hand, is said to be leaning heavily toward blue, like basically all screens on the market that are not properly calibrated.

>>714065389 (OP)

The Nintendo Switch 2 was in the manufacturing phase years before Trump even become President. You're doing a lot of guess work without any actual evidence btw. Who are the many suppliers of the Switch 2 screens? You said more than 2, so who? The tariffs weren't active when they were being built but you said it anyway. Your comment is more harmful to the discussion because you insert genuine trash passed off as fact. The New 3DS and New 2DS family lines statement is the only true part of the post, two different screens depending on who built it.

For now. It's not going to outsell the Switch. The pricing alone has guaranteed that.

>>714078981
People complained because they had an idea of how powerful it would be only for them to charge $450 for it which seemed like too much. People are willing to spend a lot more cash if they were getting their money’s worth, but for something at PS4 Pro level at that price it’s just greed

I have looked so hard at mine to try and figure out wtf people are talking about, and I don't get it. Obviously I can see the "ghosting" and "blur" on people's 1000Hz high speed camera recordings. But I cannot see shit with my own two eyes. And I guess it has more input delay than normal? I still can't tell. But then again I couldn't tell my Wii U Gamepad apart from using the TV.

I mean I get it, I believe you guys when you say they cheaped out on the display. But I don't know how much traction this is going to get considering these flaws appear to be invisible to everyone except display enthusiasts and professionals.

aaaaaand this is the other reason, they don't max it out on release so they can sell a pro version in 1 year or so and you and others who already own the regular model will still buy it.

all the answers to your questions are entirely in your own argument

>>714085776
