I probably should’ve read the article before commenting, but as a Lemming I have kept some of my worst Redditor tendencies.

Shame about LCD vs OLED (the OLED Switch is seriously beautiful), but understandable I suppose. I just hope they get backwards compatibility and library retention/management right.

If it’s a hit maybe they’ll come out with a very slightly fancier model with oled later, just like the current switch

Pretty much a guarantee they will.

There are high quality traditional LCDs that are viable bang-for-the-buck alternatives to OLED. There are, of course, poor quality LCD screens as well (looking at you, Steam Deck).

I’ll remain optimistic.

Ain’t that the truth. I didn’t realize the screen on my iPad wasn’t OLED at first, until I noticed some very localized backlight bleeding around white against black and looked it up. There are magical things to be done with regional dimming.

I’d bet $1000 the Switch won’t have regional dimming. It should still look pretty good.

I agree, I’m just amazed how far LCD has come.

OLED's one of those things you notice more with larger screens in dark rooms. Even in a well lit shop it's hard to see much difference between OLED and a decent LCD.

I would think VR is the only real great use of smaller screen OLED.
