      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

        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.

            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.
