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

The new Switch 2 is anticipated to be larger than its previous version; however, enthusiasts wishing for an OLED model at launch may feel let down. Despite this, it will retain a beautiful LCD screen and the difference in gaming experience, particularly for hardcore gamers, won’t be significant. Nevertheless, those who are particular about color accuracy might find cause for disappointment.

As a gaming enthusiast, I was anticipating the debut of this latest handheld console, hoping it would come equipped with an LCD screen initially. After all, given Nintendo’s history, there was a strong possibility they might introduce an OLED version later on, just like they did with its predecessor. That move turned out to be a hit among fans, offering us the luxury of choice between models.

It’s reasonable to anticipate that the Switch 2 might eventually release an OLED version boasting improved visual quality compared to the existing LCD model. As of now, we can’t predict the battery life in this upcoming OLED model, but it’s likely to offer enhanced performance. This strategy is not new to Nintendo, as they have adopted it before, and even Valve followed suit with the OLED version of the Steam Deck.

With the new system being designed to work seamlessly with numerous Switch 2 games, fans may find the absence of a new screen less concerning initially, as LCD screens are still suitable and can deliver high-quality visuals, particularly with the upgraded 1080p resolution. However, both systems will essentially offer the same gaming experience, so the preference for screens might largely depend on what users prioritize.

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