Sure thing, let’s dive into this Switch 2 display saga — buckle up, it’s a bit of a bumpy ride. There’s this dude, Chimolog, you know, tossing around numbers like they’re candy. He’s saying the Switch 2’s screen is sorta like a slow-motion replay, with a 17.06 ms average response time. Yikes. But, before we hang Nintendo out to dry, no clue how Chimolog actually measured this. Like, did he have a stopwatch or what?
Now, the screen itself is doing its best to be cool: 1080p, 120Hz, a decent 7.9-incher. Imagine, though, this screen is supposedly pulling a sluggish 8.88 ms at best and snail-like 27.46 ms at worst. It’s like trying to play an action-packed FPS with a butter knife when you really need a machete. Ever tried gaming on a 60 Hz monitor that’s mocking you while you struggle through it? Yeah, me neither.
And here’s the kicker – Chimolog lined it up against a bunch of monitors, and it got the last place trophy. How’s that? Even this Innocn M2U 27 Mini-LED monitor, with a name longer than your grocery list, smoked it with an 11.06ms time.
But Nintendo, they went all-in on the other bits. Allegedly (yeah, that word rolls off the tongue a lot here), the contrast, brightness, color, it’s all shiny and top-notch. The color’s covering the whole sRGB thing, almost fully embracing that DCI-P3, got a decent shot at Adobe RGB — and, well, a nod at Rec. 2020. Guess the display might be some IPS wizardry or whatever.
Quick side story — the text. There’s a “special RGB” pattern, wavy-like, turning letters into a bit of a blur party. Reminds me of those nights you shouldn’t have that last drink, if you catch my drift.
And about that 120Hz magic – no proper word. Trying to hit those high notes at the max refresh rate is tricky business. Without diving deep, it’s hard to pin it down.
Alright, here comes the plot twist. Despite this slow-screen drama, Switch 2 is flying off the shelves. Seriously, 3.5 million in just four days — imagine the queues! It’s now the record-breaker, the top dog. Folks just can’t resist those classic Nintendo games, it’s like they’ve got a monopoly on nostalgia. Hopefully, Nintendo sees the light — or, uh, the OLED — and gives us a screen fix soon.
That’s the crazy, chaotic ride through Switch 2’s screen saga. Who knows, maybe it’ll be yesterday’s news soon.
