Switch 2 Launches With LCD Screen, Expect OLED Model in the Future

The upcoming Switch 2 is expected to be larger than its previous version; however, enthusiasts expecting an OLED model at launch may find themselves let down. Instead, it will feature a high-quality LCD screen, though this might not significantly enhance the experience for diehard gamers. Color purists, in particular, might feel disheartened by this decision.

Many enthusiasts anticipated that the latest portable gaming device would debut featuring an LCD screen, considering Nintendo’s history of introducing alternative models boasting OLED screens down the line. Indeed, this approach worked well with its predecessor, as players appreciated the variety of options available for selection.

It’s expected that fans won’t find it surprising when Nintendo releases an OLED version of the Switch 2, boasting improved visual quality over the current LCD model. The specifics about its battery life are still unclear, but it’s likely that this OLED model will come with a more efficient battery. This strategy is one Nintendo has employed in the past, and even Valve followed suit for the Steam Deck OLED.

With the new system being designed to work seamlessly with many Switch 2 games, fans may find the absence of a fresh screen less troubling initially. While LCD screens are perfectly suitable and can enhance game visuals, especially considering the new 1080p resolution it will introduce, both systems will essentially offer the same gaming experiences. Ultimately, the preference for screen types might boil down to individual preferences among fans.

Gamers can pre-order the Switch 2 here if they want to get their hands on it already.
