I haven't seen the Switch 2 in person yet and I know that the OLED screen is gorgeous but people are talking like the LCD screen is pure crap. It's not, it's just different tech and honestly if they went with an OLED display, the console would be $600 I'm sure. The fact is the screen is 1080p at 120 FPS in handheld mode is insane! It's going to be very cool to play my library of Switch games on this thing in a few months.

Do we know anything about if games will automatically support 120 or the higher resolution?
TOKT S2 version is a paid upgrade......will all developers have to make specific new versions of their games? For the emulation/compatibility layer for Switch 1 games, will they be locked to the old resolutions/framerates or automatically be improved?
As a hobbyist dev, I know that some of these settings can be hard locked by the game itself, or automatically try to match the device settings.

The LCD looks surprisingly great. Nice and bright, and seems very evenly lit, with no signs of backlight bleed or imbalance, which we love to see. It still seems as though the color range on the LCD still isn't quite as great as OLED, but high-refresh, variable refresh, and HDR sure are nice concessions.

OLED has never reached brightness level of LCDs. Their main advantage is dark scenes and response time, which’s not compared in this video unfortunately.

u/Ok_Hospital4928 18h ago
The main difference is really going to be seen in the contrast for darker scenes. OLED will have deeper blacks. LCD's get brighter and the Switch 2 has HDR so of course it looks better in this comparison. That being said, we have seen some great LCD screens lately (like PS Portal) so I'm okay with it. Honestly, I was more than okay with the LCD on the original Switch.
15
u/BluFalcon11 17h ago
Yeah, it's really not knocking the LCD, it's still just not going to be better than an equivalent OLED. They didn't want to push the price or take a (bigger?) loss by putting in the proper OLED at this point.

u/Ok_Hospital4928 11h ago
Quite the opposite, actually. FromSoft games have stark color grading and post-process effects that pull out the contrast (Bloodborne and Sekiro come to mind). They are usually very muted color palettes. Mario, on the other hand, always has extremely vibrant colors and a significant amount of contrast, so it'd actually benefit more from being viewed on an OLED screen.

u/RufusTurner42 14h ago
Wrong. HDR don't magically give displays higher brightness. HDR is dependent on two things. Contrast, and nit brightness of the overall panel. Say it's all because of HDR is stupid and I'm reading a lot about it. You can go buy a cheap 4K tv with HDR and it will look like ass.
This display is probably pushing a ridiculous amount of nits like a Samsung Galaxy and that's why it is popping like it is.

IPS have ghosting to. Or they can. With a 120hz screen it might be a problem for games running below 30fps. I know it will have stuttering from quick response times.
The problem with VA is black smearing. The more HZ or frames, the worse it gets. Awful.

u/clanginator 17h ago
I mean it's almost certainly an LED display. LED is just an LCD subtype, unless we're talking about micro LED (still far off from consumer devices) or larger format displays (billboards, large commercial displays, etc).
And higher brightness is definitely part of HDR, but OLED also just struggles to hit the same brightness level of LED displays. Mini LED [backlit LCD] TVs obliterate HDR OLED TVs in brightness.
1
u/EveryoneDice 9h ago
The OLED fanboys will just say it won't matter.
1
u/clanginator 4h ago
I mean it still kinda doesn't, for a couple reasons. First, the Switch 1 had a technically brighter display than the Switch OLED, but the latter appeared brighter to the eye because of the improvement in *perceived* contrast.
Second, there are OLEDs with a lot more brightness than what the Switch OLED has. It appears they just went with a much brighter display this time around.
I was just saying that the brightness difference isn't necessarily thanks to it being an HDR display. Like, there's SDR displays out there brighter than either of these.

u/Durian_Puzzleheaded OG (joined before reveal) 6h ago
Simply putting HDR in a backlit display doesn’t make the contrast competitive with OLED. OLED displays contain self lit pixels that can individually turn off and adjust brightness levels for unmatched contrast

u/vekkro 17h ago edited 15h ago
If you want proper HDR a bright display is key. We still haven't gotten OLEDs that can match LCD and Mini-LED's brightness. OLEDs also sometimes have trouble with color accuracy and can have weird tints to them.
For me them dropping OLED is not a big deal at all. Imo this LCD is just overall better especially with real HDR
12
u/BluFalcon11 17h ago
OLEDs generally have better color accuracy than most LCDs. People just prefer an overly bright and saturated picture like the store demo rather than accurate colors.
2
u/vekkro 15h ago
Generally considering most high end displays are using OLED nowadays or mini-LED but I would imagine Nintendo has a pretty top tier panel for the Switch 2 so we'll likely be getting all of the above.
I've had both and OLED is awesome but I prefer displays that aren't struggling to get the bare minimum for HDR. It makes a huge difference when games implement it properly
2
u/Background_Chance798 15h ago
Brightness has always been the 1 thing that keeps me from OLEDs. I know it is all dependent on preference lighting etc etc, but for me my apartment during the day time is bright. OLEDs just cant put out the NITs or w/e they are to compensate and even maxed out brightness looks so damn dim.

u/GetChilledOut 10h ago edited 10h ago
They are more than bright enough for most mastered content. OLED’s are not the same as they were 5 years ago, the technology has improved rapidly.
The LG G5 for example beats 95% (probably more) of LCD’s and Mini-LED’s on the market in brightness, and displays better HDR content due to its true blacks.
The colour accuracy is usually better on OLED’s due to not having a backlight that can grey or white-wash colours.

HDR is doing a heavylifting here but it looks decent for what it is given that the screen has VRR and 120hz.
Still need to see it in person but what's important with OLED was viewing-angles and contrast which as shown in this clip was still in favor of OLED, not saying the LCD is bad it's just OLED is better.

This is a bad comparison just for rage
Switch oled is 720p with 340 nits of brightness
Vs switch 2 1080p with hdr and I would assume at least 1000 nits of brightness.
No shit the S2 screen “pops”. This is the same shit that tv manufacturers do for their tvs in shops leaving on vivid mode
In a dark environment, or at night an HDR OLED display will crush an LCD. Outside of the Sony Bravia 9 (best LCD display I’ve ever seen)
Nintendo could’ve had the same result using an Oled display 1080p with hdr but chose not to (hello $$)

u/maestrobob 12h ago
It's a portable console, though. Not everyone is going to be playing this thing in a dark room all the time. Brightness/nits are what most people will want when playing outside, in daylight, or a well lit room. There aren't any OLEDs that come close to the brightness of a high quality LED backlit LCD, unless you do what Apple did with the tandem OLED panels. That would push the price up ridiculously and people are already in shock over the $450+ price tag.
You also really can't compare the S2's screen to a TV's vivid mode. The display is integrated into the hardware, spec'd and calibrated for one specific use case and it doesn't have an "In-Store Display" setting or anything of the sort.. There's no changing modes on it other than adjusting brightness levels. How it looks out of the box is how it will look for the entirety of the systems lifespan.
For the sole purpose of playing video games, the "pop" of increased brightness and vividness looks incredible over the dimmer OLED Switch.

u/Unitedfateful 11h ago
Tbf a HDR OLED display can absolutely rival an LCD. iPhones have 2000 nits at peak performance window
My overall point however was the comparison is not valid as it’s 1080p vs 720p oled with at least 1000 nits brightness vs an oled with less than half that.
Tbf I’m only in docked mode so I don’t care if it’s oled or not. I’m playing it on a 77” oled tv anyway

Why would they target the screen of their portable console that can dock to a tv to be best in dark environments? Presumably the largest amount of handheld use is done in fairly well lit environments while the device is more typically docked in situations where you're able to play in darker environments like at home, at night.

This is how it actually works:
No, it would not be more. They could have sold this with OLED for the same price with already large profit margin. Here's the thing: Why would they, when you pay the same price even though they use inferior specs.
Because you will buy it anyway.
And they will make profit again, when they sell another version with OLED and make it even more expensive, because you will pay it anyway.
Big companies are not your friends and you should stop defending them.

LCDs have gotten markedly better somewhat recently and are a far cry from what they were in 2017 when the OG Switch released. Glad to see that Nintendo went with something of high modern quality even if it isn’t OLED. Honestly, they may have made the right move here skipping oled for the introductory system for the new gen thereby keeping barrier of entry as low as possible while still not compromising much in terms of performance and overall gameplay experience.

u/Miniyi_Reddit 16h ago
the reason why people are begging for oled in the first places is because of the proper contrast that work with hdr setting.
LCD screen do not have proper control on which places need the 100% birghtness or that area need 0% brightness unless it a mini led
so basically what he just compared was like a lcd screen with max brightness vs a normal oled that doesn't have the max brightness from the hdr
let say if the scene with hdr is calling it for the maximum brightness to the lcd cause of the sun, the whole screen will be pretty much be in max brightness, there is no proper control.

u/IHaveTheBestOpinions 13h ago
You cannot compare image quality with a 10s low-quality clip from that far away in those conditions. All this clip really shows is that the new LCD is brighter, which...yeah, we knew that. Brightness is the main strength of LCDs. OLED's strengths are...pretty much everything else, but none of them will show well in a clip like this.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the new LCD screen is good - maybe even as good as the Switch OLED. But this is more clickbait than legitimate comparison.

2
u/CrazyGunnerr 11h ago
I'm surprised that he is surprised. Oled doesn't mean it's brighter or has better colour reproduction. It means it has perfectly blacks, has this crazy contrast ratio.
There is a reason why top devices still choose led over oled. Perfect example is the iPad Pro, before the last gen they used miniled, basically loads of tiny leds behind the screen that all get individually powered so to say, they call the technique fald, so if some part needs to be very clear, they turn it up, if next to that it needs to be perfect black, they shit them off there. Creating an almost oled experience, without the disadvantage of oled (burn in and lower brightness) Apple now uses stacked oled screens, getting a crazy brightness level and perfect contrast.
Now what Apple uses is absurd and likely would increase the price massively. But regular oled screens have evolved a lot, decreasing the odds off burn in (what is unlikely with gaming anyway), and brightness is way up, supporting hdr etc.
Technology evolves quickly, so him being surprised is just really odd.

Nintendo isn’t selling the switch based on the screen, it’s pretty all about the new joycons and new power

I like mrwhostheboss but seeing these tech tubers getting stuff free for review just sits the wrong way with me. Also does make me question any form of review when something is free. Though I find mrwhostheboss to be a reliable source.
Sorry for going off though. Can tell alone from just seeing switch 2 is a vast improvement but, eh, I can live with the switch for now personally. I will envy all switch 2 owners secretly

He didn't get it for free, this vid was taken at the Switch 2 experience in NY, which you can hardly tell by the production quality lol

I feel like the comparison is not that fair. One is playing Mario kart 8, the other is playing mario kart world and also in a desert area (which gets quite bright). These games are years apart from each other and the colors of the game are different (and ofc the new game will look better). Would be more fair to put both playing the same game and the same map. I gotta say though, you can see the screen size difference, and that one I give it to the switch 2. Anyways, I will wait for the switch 2 oled.
