Nintendo Switch 2 vs. Switch 1: Every Detail Compared
2 years ago by cm0002 to c/nintendo
An LCD screen immediately makes me not want to buy it. Guess I'll wait for the OLED model to release. What a fucking joke
That's not a bad idea. Keep that first version forever haha
How probably is that a day one switch 2 can be as easily hacked as the v1 switch 1?
Im honestly not interested in any games for the switch 2 right now, but i would like to buy the switch 2 now for the same reason as you.
An oled would have been an instant no-buy from me. I like my devices to actually last.
Inb4 "muh modern OLEDs last a long time, its a fixed problem!" - No it isn't. They last a bit longer than before, but I literally have burn in on a modern OLED that has the "fixes" right now and it drives me nuts.
Do you know what you can leave on a static screen for hours and hours without damage?
An LCD screen.
Not to say that I do that, but many softwares and games have static UI and HUD elements, like healthbars and notifications.
Hate to tell you this but LCDs also can get ghosting (burn in) and they can get it easier than OLED screens.
Im aware of ghosting, but every LCD device I currently own, each with thousands of hours of use, do not have this issue, whereas both my pixel 2xl and my pixel 6 do, with some faint hints on my OLED Steam Deck (I tried to give OLED a third chance). My wife's name is permanently etched into the top of my 2xl, and my 6 has extreme color fading from where the notification bar is.
Ghosting is caused by a scene or display sitting still over time. It doesn't just happen with normal use.
I haven't had burn in on an LCD in probably ten years. I leave my PC on for days at a time. TV for hours on a console dashboard. Same with my v1 switch. Zero burn in on any of them. I have one OLED TV that was left on while we went to the store and it's been permanently fucked.
Dang that sucks. Warranty at all?

The lineup of games which they presented is quite impressive (from Switch perspective). But I’m curious what will be actual real life performance of those. I mean, a lot od things they added are cute, bute the performance is #1 motivation to buy a new generation.
