Hi Everyone! HDR takes a somewhat unpredictable amount of time to process, so if you’re not seeing this video in HDR and want to see it that way, check back later!
Hey there beanie man
@dice stacking lol you sure?
First
A little closer to taking the beanie off
ok :)
This is just fantastic coverage of the Switch OLED! Honestly top tier quality videos.
yeah i deffo aggree how has this man not got a mil jet
The best among them Nintendo CZcamsrs
Meh. Idk why we couldn’t get split screen with both switches instead of this half half. Not what I’m looking for but it’s ok
Dang I haven’t seen your videos in years!
Plot twist: he hasn’t watched the video
Damn, the effort of going through all these games twice, capture in the perfect light, and the back and forth at moments where it's specially helpfullike 3:17 and 8:15.
It was super helpful, Kevin outdid himself here.
If nintendo paid him that's expectable.
@@mikedergalev CZcamsrs are very rarely paid by Nintendo, and it's usually for Nintendo's own channel if that happens.
I always suspect many of his videos to be exaggerated lol which I know a few are; and what I mean is that he does at times manipulate the items to produce a more greater difference for results, he’s done it three times with the 3ds and a few times with different seitch accessories to improve their “performance” and yeah lol, would not be surprised if he had lowered the brightness on the old model a little during the side by side, he’s done it a few times before..
Ugh
@@Dominicn123 Lmao, and yet here you are complaining.
Ugh
Is this some sort of joke? You could have put the consoles side by side or on top of each other so they'd both be in the same lighting. And that would make better use of the screen. Why was the camera so far away? The actual Switch screen takes up only a third of what you see. The rest is a table or whatever.
This is poorly done.
Glad you got the OLED first. Those shots and all the videos is better marketing than even Nintendo has done. Appreciate it!
110%!
How was he able to get the switch so early bro ?
@@Liverare Nintendo sent him one
They can marketing it now! It's great!
Because it's the new way of marketing nowadays.. Sending it to reviewers and such it's cheaper and easier..
The way you shot this is genuinely incredible. I love the way you lit the switches on the table. Excellent work!
Me watching on an LCD monitor: Yeah OLED definitely looks better
AhahahahahahahahHahahha
Me watchin on OLED phone with almost perfectly calibrated screen, -- HUGE!
@@jasiekformela4250 same lol pixel 3a for me
I don't even know how it looks like but it's I'm sure it's good
Blind man: OLED is so much better, so vivid! Also deaf, sounds much better too! 😂
The effort and editing that went into this is incredible! The colors look so good in the intro as well, great job!
Appreciate the fact that you continue testing after you first initially got it.
Also the music was 🔥
I’m sure he wants to do these tests, regardless. I would be curious too, seeing the comparison
Ofc, additional income for them. -.-
Easy youtube money, you act like he was going to miss out or something...
This is LEVEL 99 EDITING AND REVIEWING of the OLED model. You are doing an amazing job highlighting the differences.
Yeah, even through a video, you can see: that image quality is absolute FIRE.
Idk if it’s worth an upgrade though. This seems like the halfway point between the next Nintendo console. It may be better to wait if you already have one
@@Itsme-wp8yc I wouldn't normally get it but, I have to because I'm a collector. 🥲
@@Itsme-wp8yc i definitely want nintendo to release a pro model sometime in the future, but for me since i always play handheld mode and my launch switch is pretty busted from carrying it these years, it's worth it to me, but i understand why it isn't worth to others
@@mattbunky worth it if you don’t already have a switch, not worth it if you do is probably what it is for most people
He needs to Fix the illumination, the OLED just look bad bc he puts it the max brighter, that distorted the images, it should looks like this czcams.com/video/9NIVU3GDBDQ/video.html
Hey Kevin thanks for this video! It was super helpful and thanks for doing all the comparisons that we want to see! This was also a great way to see how much smaller the switch screen is compared to the OLED! Thanks again!
Tuned in for the coverage, left with good tunes. 😎
I feel Kevin has really upped his game lately .All of his recent videos have improved in every facet.
Outstanding coverage on the oled model I love the side by side shots/slides of all these games , the oled makes everything look so crisp and bright , I’m so excited to finally get my hands on mine this Friday
Amazing capture of very similar scenes! Thanks for this comparison, the OLED is digging it!
Man, I’m really enjoying your content! Low key and to the point. Not trying to trash other channels, it’s just refreshing to see someone act normal while presenting quality info!
Hand's down the best Comparison video on CZcams. Knew I could trust you Kevin to come through with the goods. Hope you're enjoying your OLED. Can't wait for mine, just a week away.
if I were you I would wait a few months with buying the oled version because oled is prone to burn in especially with games. just wait a few months and spare yourself the dissapointment of burn in
@@GroteGlon I appreciate the advice but I'm going to run the risk, I had an OLED PS Vita and it worked flawlessly for year's.
@@newrockerofficial294 there's no reason at all to risk it tho.
@@GroteGlon Indeed there is, OLED screens look amazing. I have a huge backlog of game's to play including Breath if the Wild. I'll take the risk over waiting.
Same
The best comparison on the OLED by far and that’s FACTS. everyone else not on par like this thumps up better Quality
It Looks like 4k to my eyes
Thank you for taking the time. Have enjoyed your videos on new OLED switch. Others as well of course, goes without saying
Great video man, for real!
Can’t wait to see how splat looks on this
Same!
@@ArylBarrel exactly. The same.
@@kevine9474 😂
I really appreciate this video Kevin. The oled screen is absolutely gorgeous!
Wow this is a great comparison video. Amazing production!
Appreciate the chapters in description!
My favorite comparison was Astral Chain, it looks absolutely stunning on the new Switch OLED.
Before this video, I can't deny, I was skeptical there was any significant difference between the visual quality, especially since the games would be played on a small screen.
But what I noticed from this video is the bezels definitely look a lot smaller on the OLED and the colors are just so much more vibrant.
I've never used any OLED products before. I own a PSVITA 2000 model and I think the display looks just fine compared to say the OLED 1000 model (which I ended up not buying). So I was under the assumption that OLED couldn't be that much of an upgrade.
Personally I don't own a Switch, but if I had to choose one model it would be the OLED because that screen is undeniably a game changer when it comes to portable play. And the first game series I'd like to try on there is Little Nightmares. I feel the OLED screen, like Astral Chain, would benefit the game a lot.
People watching this video on the normal switch: "this is stupid, looks exactly the same"
Aside from the screen size and more vibrant colors, the ghosting is more apparent on the original LCD panel as well as the faster response of the OLED, great vid man!
Kevin, you have been pumping out such great videos after the other. Nice to see the differences in detail!
Can you do a comparison video between the Switch Lite and the OLED? As someone who plays handheld primarily, it’s a really interesting dilemma to choose between a handheld friendly form factor or a superior screen
Honestly ended up just chilling for the music..Kevin got his music game on point 👉
What’s the song called
@@Yucare472 The first one is the music from "On The Road" by John Givez, I don't know about the second one, can't find it sorry. The third one is "Makeup and Vanity Set" by Etat, while the second to last is from "Two-Sided Mind" by Austin Hull. I couldn't find the last one again. :)
@@Ambrily Thank yoU !
@@Yucare472 No problem, mate!
Yeah, I rewatched the video just to let the music play in the background.
Digging the music! Great video
Incredible production on this one. You rock!
Amazing. The clarity on the OLED is great, you see particles, or shimmers that I had no noticed before. Really good improvement and exceptional video. I will upgrade. I have the original OG launch day switch.
Yeah I hear a lot of complaints that the Switch isn't 4k....to me personally I'm over the moon about the bigger Oled screen adding a level of premium to the hand-held experience...I have a PS5 and XBSX for 4k👌
Nintendo is doing amazing with HD. & Tbt most people with next gen consoles are still missing the other half to the gaming experience, a gaming TV. Without a 120hz & 2.1 HDMI TV you aren't experiencing what the next gen consoles have to offer.
@@brandonconstantine3853 yes I agree and the only games that would really benefit are third party multiplats on the Switch....
Nintendo's first party games aesthetic and art style work fine at 1080p..now the framerate could do with a boost tho
@@mrwalker6026 just want it to be stable really, age of calamity hurt my eyes
@@laarval age of calamity is garbage and that game would struggle on any platform with the amount of crap going on screen at once....all those dynasty warriors style games stutter like shit even on Xbox and PlayStation
@@mrwalker6026 yeah but this one was especially bad, i jus want my fps to not drop below 15 lol
Thanks for the video & side by side comparison!
This ist just what I was looking for, thanks so much.
The bigger screen looks really nice!
Thank you so much for this comparison. It's exactly what I was looking for :) I'm playing on the '19 Switch model (Mario 35th Anniversary) and was troubled if i need to update or not. After watching this, I'm 100% certain that I don't need the update yet... I may go for it if my actual Switch is broken (what's probably not gonna happen xD). I do find the lighting and colors on some games better on the non-oled switch than on the OLED, like Links Awakening for example, it looks way more natural to my eye on the non-oled, while the OLED is kinda overexposed. There are also some i can't really see a difference. So yes, I'll stay with the non-oled.
Finally a side by side comparison video!!! Thank you!
You did a great job on lighting and overall quality! Cheers ✌
I really want to know if vivid mode blows out the colors and ruins the shadow detail or if it just widens the color gamut. If the former, I'll just set it to standard.
I don’t see why they wouldn’t just call it HDR if it’s the latter
I'd probably run it standard anyway just because
@@terribletimes902 true.
I'll probably do standard since I don't generally like super vibrant colors anyway. I have all my monitors set to fairly natural colors, as an artist.
The colours are so much more vivid, and the brightness pops
Really? The brightness looks better indeed, but I'm not sure it deserves 50€ on top. I'll pass, thank you
The colours look oversaturated and the game looks more pixelated.
This video is really impressive, congratulations!
I have this model switch on preorder and honestly your videos make me not regretting it at all! THANK YOU!!
Pokemon sword almost looks the same on both versions, but i can really see the colors pop on botw, smo, and octopath.
Shame that u didn't test it on splatoon kevin. All in all spectacular video!
@ArtBuffalo That makes literally no sense.
It was pretty obvious for me.
The comparison for Undertale tho. That is true black! Love OLED
It basically went from a grey background to a black one
@@adam145 true! On mobile, i hate it when it says dark mode but its basically just gray.
This is a really amazing comparison video!
Nice video, chill music, thanks 👌
OLED looks way better.
I gotta get one soon.
I preordered one from Walmart but canceled it and now I’m regretting it. I’m hoping I can get one soon too.
no you dont lol
Me2
@@mikepotapa5773 glad i never cancelled mine lol
@@FilmTrekk i guess I won't get one because this rando told me not to. Oh well.
(I wonder if that's what the response this weird person wanted lol)
I have the regular Switch, and I’m happy with what I have.
It's not for you it's for new buyers
@SHEIKAH Might be a decent upgrade for them tbh.
Yeah so do I, I will be getting the awesome looking steam deck instead of this
@SHEIKAH if there switch is dying then yea
@SHEIKAH thats awesome for you!. I have the 2019 model so i might hold out until the next switch iteration but i=for you i'd say if you have the money then surely go for it.
Amazing work!
Your one of the first CZcamsrs I've seen with this switch. It's cool hearing your thoughts on it!
Kinda disappointed that you didn’t show Splatoon, especially considering it’s one of the most colourful games on the system
yeah same, it’s such a great game. i just now realized he didn’t include it
True, also not *true.* 🙃
what youre smoking, every nintendo game is freaking most colorful one
@@medstone3409 you cannot tell me that botw is more colourful than Splatoon lmao
@@medstone3409 sure but splatoon is literally about colouring
this is absolutely the closest you can get to seeing what it's really like without buying it yourself
You can't record an OLED screen just like a CRT TV/Monitor.
Both look waaaaay better in real life.
I have an og switch so I will be getting the amazing looking steam deck instead of this 😏
@@therunawaykid6523 Or buy a gaming laptop which is way faster and versatile at the same price, can also run Switch games better than the Switch itself 😆.
It's so irrelevant. It depend of the monitor your watching the video from.
@@saricubra2867 I’m getting the cheapest 64 gig version which is cheaper than a gaming laptop and one of the reasons I’m getting the deck is it is much more portable than a laptop but also pretty powerful 😏
Shout-out to you man!!! Amazing dedication and work.
this took a lot of effort so thank you for this!
Lowkey want to upgrade now. The only problem is that it can't be homebrewed so I'm sticking to my v1 switch.
I have a switch lite and I don't homebrew it lol
how do you know it can’t be homebrewed yet?
@@MrPokeplayer yes it can? It's just more difficult
@@crusadertwo239 i’m aware i was replying to the person who commented
@@MrPokeplayer The only way to homebrew any switch other than v1 is installing a modchip. So technically yes, it is possible, but that shit is difficult to do.
The difference between the 2 with Mario Kart 8 is night and day! I am actually kind of shocked Nintendo didn't do these comparisons
Really awesome content Kevin! This makes me so excited for when mine comes in next week!
Very impressed Kenson... really great video. Keep it up👍🏾
You left out one of the best games to test out on an OLED and that’s Rayman Legends
Well at least we will have OLED on the next upgrade version of the switch.
You wish... There is a reason why this one is called the "You know what".
Dude this must have taken you forever, capturing screens is far from easy! Great job!
Incredible series of OLED videos, thanks for your hard work!
Man, i hate when nintendo comes out with a good version of their console 2 years after i got the original version, this makes the switch look so good, if only there was a way to mod the original switch with an oled screen instead of buying a new system for oled
There probably will be. Have you seen the GBA IPS mods? It’ll probably take a while though.
The OLED looks so much better I can’t wait to see it in person
why are you buying it
@@hugono3938 cause he what’s to tf
Thanks for these videos bro!
Excellent video Kevin great dedication shown here
I’ll be turning off vivid mode for my OLED model I prefer accurate colours over eye popping saturation.
When you know, you know 👍🏼
"accurate colours" ur playing a video game lmao
I usually watch anime on my LG OLED TV in Vivid mode, standard mode just looks washed out and doesn't pop making everything look very flat.
@@HappyGoBunnies obviously Zelda doesn’t look like real life you tit, over saturation (in any content) is personal preference.
@@Rockapotamus91 fair
I guess it would be worth it for a prettier screen but not if you Dock most of the time anyway
But the dock can update
Kevin thank you so much for doing this! So excited to get mine next week. I definitely need to do another playthrough of Astral Chain. It looks AMAZING on the OLED!
Thanks for the few videos of the new oled switch it’s really informative
I love the bigger screen. The brighter part of the OLED is a no for me
That's very useful outdoor though!
Ok… then lower the brightness
Remember he had vibrant mode on, with it off it will be less bright.
Well everyone.. I succumbed... I upgraded to the OLED 🥺😁🤩🤩
I uhh... have no raegerts
Surprised you didn’t show off Splatoon 2, was one of the first games to come to mind when you mentioned the comparisons
Omg i was waiting for this !
Ahhh gosh dangit making me want to buy things. And the improved audio, build quality and metal backplating too gahh. Amazing video though thank you this is exactly what I was looking for keep up the great work
I don’t think it’s a big deal for those who already has a Switch.
What if I have a V1 from 2017?
@@antoniog6293 same here. Gladly picking mine up next Friday!
They should have just called it the switch XL
You deserve my sub with this one, terrificly done!
Another great & informative video! 👍
I love the Switch OLED😃
I think I might get me the switch OLED I already have like the Nintendo switch Lite but that's not really good
Tbh yeah go for it and sell your lite dude eBay will pay for it so you can get this oled
@@Shioni16 it's in the pawn shop when I get enough money and im going to get it back out and then I'll do that
Video very well done!!! thank you!!!
Your videos have reassured me in my OLED preorder. I only play handheld. This looks so crispy.
Does this man at least take his beanie off when he goes to sleep?
No, I doubt it even comes off in the shower.
lol
Lmao I was wondering if someone else was thinking what I think.
The Edge from U2?
I would love to have a larger OLED screen, but I cannot justify the cost.
Your cheap
@@angelvillegas9604 I live in the real world where bills come first.
@@EyesOfTheInternet get a better job
@@angelvillegas9604 Enjoy being 12.
@@angelvillegas9604 Telling someone to get a better job when you're probably 14 tops, and have no bills of your own. Especially you not knowing the proper version of you're* to use exposes that lmao. Stfu
I am so impressed with this content!
ive watched 2 of your videos now and you have 2 of my beanies. that in itself deserves a sub and a like
I wasn’t interested at all when this was announced but the more I thought, I mostly only play in handheld and rarely use my dock. So, Now I want the better, brighter, bigger screen.
Anyone know the battery life of the OLED vs the V1? I have a V1 and I'm still debating on getting the OLED.
Yeah I’m waiting for this too. Hopefully Kevin does a comparison on the battery soon. Nintendo says OLED is the same as V2 but i need to see it to believe it haha
Ive checked some online sources who state that the switch V1 has a battery life of 2.5 - 6.5 hours while oled has 4.5 - 9 hours
You done good. That’s a lot of work!
You guys nailed it. Superb content with added professional shine and comparison too. Don't have a Switch but after watching this i just pre ordered an Oled one. Bravo indeed.👏👏❤👏👏
The OG switch looks kinda outdated now when looking at the OLED model
Always did lol
I’m still not upgrading i have no reason to
@@ot9523 same, im not gonna buy the OLED because i never play handheld. Maybe once in a while, but not enough for me to upgrade, if only they released a more powerful switch in 2022 or 2023, i would get it 100%
Almost every smartphone that costs more than $250 these days has an OLED display, so it's quite easy to make a comparison using your phone with your current Switch. OLED is the far superior tech compared to LCDs at this scale. It's like going from the 2010s to the 2020s.
Yeah, i can see the difference. Great video man!
Watched a lot of people's videos from the preveiws of the OLED and none of them had this quality of video to show the difference! Thank you for this!!!
@BlockDoornut
Definitely a substantial improvement. However, I still think I'll pass on this one
Definitely not….
This guy been milking this OLED switch >.>
Thanks Kevin- this is exactly the video I was hoping for- a direct comparison! I have a pre-order, but was still debating on it. This video shows how much more clear and vivid the OLED is compared to the standard Switch. Especially in 3rd party games like Hades & Astral Chain. Didn't notice it as much in some of the 1st party games. I'm definitely going to give this a try!
Great compsrison and the detail information is great keep it up
I hope soon i can buy one 😁😁
