    Coming from a first gen swicth. It surprised me a lot at how much of a difference the OLED screen made for me. I have an OLED TV and I know how good they are. However, I wasn't expecting to much as it is Nintendo you know. But I stand corrected its a small but big upgrade all at the same time. As for the switch I have definiteltly noticed a better battery life compared to my older switch. Lastly, is it just me or does it feel a little bit slimmer that the gen one?

      No “backlight bleed” or “halo” around bright objects, and no smearing in fast-paced video games. It gives the impression of a higher res screen, but the reality is that an LCD screen does poor justice to the 720p resolution. And with an upgraded screen, you really start to see how some devs have deliberately avoided any high contrast to compensate. Crysis 2 looks particularly amazing in handheld on this device.

      @@ot9523 Entirely up to you, of course, but the reason your 50” OLED 4K TV looks so good is more because it’s OLED, than 4K. You’d know this if you’ve ever owned on of the (very few) 1080p OLED TVs that preceded the 4K models… they looked so much better than 4K LCD! LCD screen tech is vastly inferior to OLED, and doesn’t do the native screen res justice, due to backlight bleed, narrow viewing angle and low contrast ratio making the picture appear blurry and washed out regardless of the native res.
      This is why the Switch OLED is a better upgrade than you’d think… the screen _looks_ far higher res, simply because OLED gives you such a razor-sharp picture… static images look almost as if they’ve been hand-painted onto the screen.

      Yeah in an ideal world we'd have gotten a Switch "Pro" and from some rumours (which would be backed up by the state of chip shortages) they kinda wanted to do just that, were it not for the whole global pandemic thing fucking up supply chains/availability of computer chips.. Who knows for sure though haha
      Like if it were a "Pro" I would have picked up Age of Calamity with it today BUT... I can do frame dips like in Link's Awakening/BotW no sweat, but AoC is too far even for me XD
      All that said, the OLED was a pretty easy upgrade for me. I play in handheld/table-top quite a lot, depending on the month/week anywhere from 40%-90% of the time. I have a launch day Switch with one of the speakers broken; The kick stand has been my least favourite thing about the build since I got it; The 64gb is nice as I don't want to bother with SD cards with the only games I have downloaded being Smash Bros, DLC for Pokemon, and Trivial Pursuit yet my system is already full; I can sell my old Switch to mitigate the cost (which isn't something I see many people bring up).
      And having had it in my hands for a few hours, just everything about it feels like a notably more premium version of the hardware (as far as build quality/display/sound/etc.) Not a purchase I'm personally likely to regret!! Even if we're (hopefully) only 1 1/2 -2 1/2 years away from a legit Switch upgrade/successor.

Contrary to what other viewers might think, this system has some serious power. I play 90% handheld mode and 10% tabletop as I play sitting in bed due to my disability (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Nintendo Switch Sports and the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition are the games I play in tabletop mode using my Joy Con Wrist Straps or Joy Con Wheel).

    more space in the doc is likely so people can have skins/case accessories on their devices that fit into the dock. an issue with the original switch is that putting cases on the switch would make the dock a tight fit and sometimes impact whether it was able to connect to the dock, which i experience a bit myself.

      Not for a 7 year old . A 7 year isn’t going to care about oled or a bigger screen

      @@JohnSimpson2112 true, but I guarantee 💯 that it will be dropped and destroyed before a yr is up. It's a good starter system. As someone who also has a 7yr old and works in the warranty department for consumer electronics. Go with the lite

    I traded in my V1 switch for this one and it was WORTH it

    Had the og switch. So it's a bit of a upgrade for me !. Since I play mostly handheld. The battery is way better then the og model and the screen colors just pop. Hands down like you said if you play handheld and never had or have the og one then it's a good upgrade 👌. You won't be disappointed.

    I'm curious if Comfort Grip covers for the OLED joycons still work on these, or if the ones made for the original switch won't fit because they're too small. I ask because I'm not too big a portable gamer as I used to be. I have a 3DS that I used to play in high school and now I can't hold it because of how hard it is to get a comfortable hold on it. Hell, when I recently got a VITA (blame Persona), I got that L2+R2 protective case that makes it more like a controller with a screen because I hated how my hands were curled into cramping half-fists. I'm also asking because I want to get a comfort grip cover for the Joycons for when I buy it, same as a large microSD

      They should fit. The console itself is the exact same dimensions, and the joycons are the same. It's just the bezels around the screen that have shrunk.

    Just bought the Splattoons edition of the OLED model... really nice console! I'm mostly playing Breath of the Wild on my tv, but it will be great for the kids to be able to play it handheld...
