Makes you wonder why Nintendo decided to make the base Switch 2 model LCD

[–] deus@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Because it's cheaper to make and allows them to release an OLED version at a premium later.

I figured but it just feels like a nuisance for many of us

Well, it seems to be a huge improvement over the LCD screen on the OG Switch so there's that. Besides, an OLED hardware revision isn't a given by any means, it's just speculation.

I had a lcd switch and bought an oled switch when it came out and again oled is always the hands down choice. I didnt get a Switch 2 because it wasnt oled.
