Don't worry about scratch tests. Leave that to JerryRigEverything and his picks.
Light scratching at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7
@@Awesomeguy-kr8kv is the screen glass this time? The first switch has a plastic screen
Edit: I should watch the video before commenting, it does have a glass screen this time.
@@yeetyeetpotatoskeet7948 the screen is laminated Glass but it has a plastic screen protector from factory to prevent cracking so it is glass but will scratch like plastic.
@@Awesomeguy-kr8kv switch lite? no it doesnt the switch and switch lite scratches at lvl 3 like any other hard plastic. Im more intrested in the built in screen protector. I belve this is just like many other phones do to make there screens not crack if dropped. I realy dont think removing this screen protector Nintendo put on will harm the display in any way. This is not a foldable note screen.
All of you who replied that was a joke because jerryrig always says that
"Today we're gonna find out how durable this new console from Nintendo really is..." -Jerry
Well he did it for the last one so probably, unless he just thinks it’s too similar
@@myrealusername2193 it has glass screen so I think he might do it
@@myrealusername2193 the screen is literally one of the only differences, I don’t see why would we think that
@@Jaymison "glass is glass, and glass breaks."
That guy just rigs everything honestly
I only play in handheld mode, so I’m absolutely psyched for this. When I upgraded my 4K LCD TV to an OLED, it was a huge difference.
I would be.... IF they had put better hardware inside of it... But nope all they did was shine up a turd and leave the same crap outdated internals inside of it. I will admit the OLED screen makes it look so much better and it actually looks modern now. Though they could absolutely further reduce the bezels it is a huge improvement. This was one of the big things I was hoping for was a nice oled screen like the Vita came with. Now we need somewhat modern hardware and then ill upgrade. But until then there is no way I'm paying that much money for a switch with a better screen that cant even benefit from the better screen since so many of the good games are so blurry or foggy or whatever tricks they do to help with FPS on such poor hardware.
Not to mention they need to make OEM joycons that actually fit ADULT SIZED HANDS!!!!! Maybe they could take a note from Microsoft ffs its just sad. Pushing these awful quality joycons so they can keep selling the replacements for 70 bucks a pop when they break. I don't remember my vita or the psp having these controller problems... But conveniently the console with removable joycons has joycon issues and those joy cons are conveniently 70 DOLLARS! Its insane how greedy this company is and as much as I loved them as a kid I really do hope to see this company go under before I die.
@@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou I’m still absolutely psyched to get the OLED Switch.
@@themailman3331 yeah.... Like I said even slightly upgraded hardware and I would have been excited too. But they stuck with the same hardware that was outdated in 2017.
People give nintendo too much praise meanwhile they shamed Sony out of the market when they were doing amazing things. I'm not praising Nintendo for putting out a console that still isn't vita quality meanwhile the Vita was released 6 years ahead of the switch.
@@themailman3331 but I'm glad you are psyched about it though man that's really all that matters lol. I know a lot of the indie 2D platformers will look amazing on the OLED screen and run perfectly fine. Those platform games already typically use impressive coloring in the maps so the OLED will do a great job there.
I like how the beanie changes color from red to yellow
I'm hoping they have a Pokemon OLED switch coming. I would preorder that so fast. Currently a switch lite user because I got it used for essentially 40 bucks.
Nice!
Stop stop STOP, I can't hear about people finding incredible deals like that...jk, that's pretty cool, glad to hear you got such a nice deal!
40 bucks? How? I don't even like nintendo like that but they are like 200 new lol
thats great dude you have amazing luck, i hope ypu find your pokemon switch oled soon
That’s an insane deal, you practically stole it
about the burn in reduction
the 5 minutes dont make a difference in what people are worried about, if youre playing a game chances are its hud is gonna stay on the screen for a *_really_* long time, people arent worried of just leaving the console on for too long, people are worried that the huds stay on screen for sometimes hours at a time that it will burn in
never had a hud burn in on my vita so i hope that helps ease your mind
thats why im getting a switch v2 instead, because the oled can have burn ins and i already have that on my tv and its not good. edit - plus it c
has less performance since no more upgrade to the inner parts rather than the screen.
Given that this "answering your questions" video never really touch the important question of "how long the battery life is", I guess its really that bad and Nintendo is asking him not to disclose it.
Oled or not, I would bet most people bought a switch probably for mobile gaming and thus, endurance of its battery is prime importance.
I rather buy another v2 that I could dock to an Oled TV than buy an Oled switch stuck with poor battery life.
@@oneproductionman true, ill mostly be playing in a car so yeah
@@ToddTheTechDad thats incomplete testimony. Did you play it at least 4-4 hours per day for a year? Because i play that way. So your comment is useless to me but for some maybe.
I don't know WHY more people are not talking about the glass screen. Is it "gorila glass" resistant?!
It's KingKong glass
Donkey Kong resistant
I sure hope so with me being as clumsy as I am!
Yeah this one could scratch easily when putting it in and out of the dock
The joycon wiggle varies greatly from Switch to Switch. My launch version is pretty solid, but a friend's Mariko (red box) version wiggles a lot. More of a QA issue than anything
You can resolve this with superglue, be sure to rub it in with your fingers to get it in all the corners /s
@@carldavis5839 for those of you that might actually try this... DONT
Try superglue or gorilla glue worked for my red box switch
@@xFrozenxSnowx Oh god nah, yeah sarcasms for those who didn't get it. DON"T USE SUPERGLUE!!!
Better advice maybe to replace the rails on the switch, it's likely they are a little bent/worn out of shape, maybe even a teardown just to squeeze them back into shape could help tighten them up a bit.
@@carldavis5839 just dont do what Woods did and poke it with metal pliers (on the joycon contacts
Love how chill your videos are compared to some other CZcamsrs
it's because a lot of video game youtubers make content targeted at a younger audience. many "adult gamer" youtubers are quite chill, wulff den is a good example.
I honestly wasn’t expecting them to give it a glass screen
That and the oled display make it feel much more premium compared to feeling kind of kiddy on the regular switch
It's the OLED all OLED seem to have glass screens by default. I assume if they could go plastic they would lol.. my OLED TV looks the same very flat and flush screen
It scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7
That glass screen might be also useful to a lot of games that require touch controlls like for all the mobile switch ports, but other than that it's just going to be more risky to carry with you around since glass, while tough, only needs one good hit and the whole screen cracks. So I don't personally think the OLED version is better for traveling which is one of the key features of the switch.
@@guichabanaano27 you just dont toss it in your bag, you carry a case tho.
Thanks Kevin for all the hard work, in getting these videos out so quickly.
Of course he’s gonna milk it as much as he can
I really appreciate the inclusion of the question about visually impaired users. I’m visually impaired and even though I can use my regular switch in handheld, I can struggle with games that have smaller text or some gameplay that might be a bit more difficult on a smaller screen. I’m looking forward to that bit of extra room. Also I agree about oled screen. They can really make a difference.
As someone who has gradually worsening eyesight, I kind of regret buying the Switch Lite a couple years ago. I think it’ll be better for me to have that larger display in handheld as well as being able to dock it and play on my TV.
Concerning the burn in, i dont think we should really worry about it as the sony vitas and samsung galaxy phones never had any issues with them. Just enjoy them guys.
I mean, i never had any issues with my devices, and i use my devices heavily, albeit i take care of my tech.
@@deuxforever13 There is always a chance of an oled being able to be burned in. They could have a batch where the screens were not made to the same quality or maybe the screens just have issues. Oleds have gotten a lot better but it depends on the manufacturer and quality.
I've been using oled devices for years and not one of them had burn-in, most burn ins occur at max brightness combined with static images.
The UI elements will always be changing on the Switch so it shouldn’t be an issue
Regarding the Switch OLED lighting up the face of a woman in daylight, the photographer who takes these photos for Nintendo posts on the NVC Facebook group and said this: "We photographed on a moving city trolley, (during a non-public route), and used only natural light and the light of the device's screen. Yes, this screen is fantastically bright, I could have never got this illumination on a person's face with the original switch. No photoshop used on that light too."
This is so cool can’t wait for mine!
Great video Kevin 👍👍👍
Hi
Yooo vince I remember ur switch vids I love them
I love ur videos
🤨Caught in 4k
Watched this vid on a Sony walkman Vince and commented on a iphone v1
Dark mode with a gray theme is still dark mode. To get gray it doesn’t light up al the subpixels, to get white it does. So there is still a reduction in battery usage.
You don't know how pixels work... to display gray, the display still need to light up all (sub)pixels. You can't display "gray" without using all three colors (red, green, blue).
It can save a bit of battery life but only at higher brightness. At lower brightness, it pretty much doesn't even matter what colors you're displaying because the differences in power consumption even between white and black are super small.
Very few people on CZcams give a true genuine vibe, Kevin is one of them
God now I'm tempted to upgrade to the OLED
Agreed, Kevin and Rip Taylor exude honesty.
Life is good when you get your questions answered.
5:30 Oled isn't like plasma. You can't reduce the chance of burn in, just prolong how long it takes to do so. This is because images don't actually burn into the screen like with old technology. The O part of Oled (organic = carbon based) burns through like it's a micro piece of coal. This cannot be avoided. Just like with phones the Switch job is less to avoid burn in, but just prolong the issue until the next console is released. (I assume he understands this, just want to clarify for others).
So how long do oled screens take to start noticeable burn in? I had a vita and I never noticed it.
@@synon7449 it counts how much you use it and how bright the content is. My Galaxy S9 showed burn in 2 years in ans it only got worse since. My Vita had the L2/R2 L3/L4 bubbles burned into the edges about 4 years in since we always used it as a 3rd controller for the PS4. On the Switch the most worrisome game would be Smash bros. As the percentage and character portraits are bright colors that show up in the same area of the screen. Something like BOTW has muted UI elements, so it isn't as much as a problem.
@@scarffoxandfriends9401 also pro hud would help
@@synon7449 that extremely depends on your usage. Simply said, the higher the brightness, the faster the burn in. When you use it only with low brightness you may never have any issues while using it at 100% all the time, you may see burn in elements even after only a few months.
Also, plying games that always show something at the same spot (for example a black character that's always exactly centered on the screen or HUD elements) also are not that healthy for the screen.
Please stop with the fear of OLED burn-in. You have to watch or play the same game for days and days with one thing on the screen on the same place.. That will never happen.
Looking forward to the comparison!
I would like to know if the input lag in the oled switch is less than the original switch, a comparison video which tests and compares input lag in both models would be very interesting to see
For the joycon wiggle problem, if you pull your joycons out and look at the rail the joycons slide into on the switch body there are two screws, tighten those down and your wiggle is gone. I have to do it every few months or so.
i assume this is already planned but testing the differences between the official ethernet adapter vs the new dock’s built in ethernet port
I'm surprised that in the first place, Nintendo never thought to include strips of sticker-pads/cushioning (you can actually buy 3rd party options for these on amazon, etc) for the inner bumpers of the dock. I thought it was common sense that sliding the switch between two hard surfaces is going to lead to unavoidable cosmetic damage. I actually bought a dock cable extension since day 1, so I've never had to actually put the switch inside the dock.
Switch OLED pretty good for its price ngl
Really enjoyed the shoutout to Steve Saylor and the section on accessibility. Cheers!
Damn! 3 daily uploads in a row! Loved the videos, love and respect being sent your way ❤❤❤
1)Compare desible levels between Nomral Switch & Oled.
2) See if it can stand vertically (Tate mode)
3)How Labo VR looks.
I'm just hoping they'll release the white joycons separately. I'm curious as to how they would look on the Mario Red Switch.
That was such a great answer to the visual impairment question. Many would have shied away from answering it. Good job!
you deserved 3 millions SUBS!!! great job amigo!!!
I’ve had an Oled Vita fir years and never had any issue with burn in
How many hours you play everyday? Because i play 4-5 hours EVERYDAY handheld.
@@kenk5269 I played my Vita a lot when I first got it. Not so much anymore. But I must have put hundreds of hours on the vita and never had an issue. I personally am not worried about burn in on the switch
Same here! And I still love my Vita. Can't wait for the Switch to really shine.
The burn in thing has been blown out of proportion… not sure why loads of people are worried. When was the last time a popular device suffered with screen burn in…?
I’ve been using an iPhone X since launch and not once have I worried about the oled screen.
@@Jackruby22 I worked in a phone store and we needed to replace them a lot. Had during the time a Moto Z2 Force phone with OLED which i used for 3 years and the statusbar burned in. After heavy usage this will happen sooner or later with every OLED screen
This is so sick!
Just like him after licking the Switch
Hope you feel better, get well soon
As opposed to being healthy?
@@GoodlyPenguin huh?
Disgusting they can call this a new console
Can’t wait to receive mine, I’m quite excited for this
I love your videos!! Thanks for pumping out amazing content for gamers.
I have a very important question about the Nintendo Switch OLED relating to the all white joy cons. Do the new white ones have that little bit of plastic that they recently put on the new zelda ones that claims it stops drift permanently or was that just for the zelda ones.
That was a rumor, they have been putting that white little piece of foam since launch on some joy cons and others, don’t have them. My launch Joy Con had it, and my brand new Zelda Joy Cons do not have that foam in them. It’s really unfortunate. Also that foam hardly helps, because it doesn’t give enough pressure to actually make a notable difference from what I’ve seen.
I was just hear to see if the Hori Joycon works and they did!? 🙌 Gonna swap out the left Joycon for my blue Hori Dpad
Kevin thanks so much for the updates!
nice content . you answered the questions as fast as possible. keep up the good work.
Glad how the Switch OLED dock works with the older switch. It looks like the inside of the OLED dock was made to prevent screen scratching. I'm not really meaning the Bumpers inside it. I'm meaning the glossy plastic instead of rough plastic.
I got my OLED yesterday, but was too afraid to shove it in the satisfye.
I unscrewed the Satisfye grip, took out all the rubber bits, and put it back together.
It fits *perfectly* without the rubber pieces, and there is zero forcing it in.
I used a size 1 phillips for the screws, the screws in the handle bits are longer than the backplate bit.
I *highly* recommend trying this!
I’m so glad to see your getting subs again your a great channel
Thank you for all the new info! Much appreciated!!
Is the OLED model usable outside on a sunny day? With the launch model I'm having a lot of trouble seeing what's on the screen even with slight clouds and in the shade
Yup that’s how oled works
unfortunately it doesn't seem to be bright enough
It will be very interesting to test burn in on this thing with a long handheld play session of Monster Hunter Rise. Some of the high rank quests can take up to a hour complete and due to the new maps not loading between different number sections of the map. The static HUD elements will stay in place on the screen the entire time.
No high rank quest has taken me more than 20 minutes to complete...
burn in isn't something that really happens after making "one mistake" and that's it -- it's cumulative, so someone who played 900 hours of mainly BoTW (even with breaks) but with little game variation could still see burn in from the HUD being the most common thing on the screen.
People who play more than one game on the switch oled shouldn't really have any issues
@@cyan6883 also combining with the fact that most people also “switch” to their tv as well.
There won't be burn in go look at the vita which had an OLED screen almost 10 years ago and it wasn't a problem . Modern OLED are even better it's almost eliminated completely. The only time I've seen burn in is old plasma with people calling them OLED or boomers watching CNN alllllllll day and night for years with the tv logo sitting in the same spot. Modern OLED have a feature called screen shift where the screen shifts in micro incremental levels that you can't notice anyway.
Just relax and use your switch and stop buying into the burn in stuff! Samsung pushed a lot of the burn in scare to sell their crappy QLEDs to try sabotage LG back in the day also. Especially with your example of playing monster hunter really? It takes hundreds of thousands of hours without changing games and content!
@@justyouraveragegamer5065 want a cookie?
Earned subscribed. Your videos are amazing. Keep it up!
Thanks Kevin for the Q&A on the new Switch and answer I needed with the screen protector that I may have to purchase
Is the added LAN port faster than using a USB LAN adapter?
That's all I want to know. Not worried about it being faster so much as it being more stable for smash
@@jak3w having used stuff like that on pc's... Unfortunately it seems like stability would be similar but speed and latency especially would be the main difference, kinda the opposite of what you want sorry :/ though I could be completely wrong with the switch
Probably faster, since USB has 2 cables to go through
@@danswope actually it would be faster since it had less cable to "travel" instead of going through and adapter and partly a little bit of signla would always be lost. Secondly it still depends in the end from the capabilty of the ethernet port and your connection (especially latency, jitter). In the end unless it is a gigabit port the difference should not be that noticeable
@@brunojr9 yah... My comment was that speed and latency would possibly be better, with the built in port but stability wouldn't be much much better... Lol... But also it's came out that the switch oled internally routes ethernet through its usb chipset so there's effectively zero difference (unfortunately)
Please stop with the fear of OLED burn-in. You have to watch or play the same game for days and days with one thing on the screen on the same place.. That will never happen.
Hi Kevin. Than for the video; it has been very informative! Just wanted to know if the OLED works with the Genki Covert dock and Mc Classic dongle? (they should since it the same internals).
I had some doubts and was about to cancel my order on the OLED but your videos on the new model made me happy to get one on preorder day!
Did you take apart the dock to see if it has a chip for 4K upscaling? Curious since the new dock is firmware upgradeable.
Nope it'd been long confirmed there's no upscaling hardware
Nintendo Higher Up: "should we release the switch 2?"
Nintendo CEO: "we must have as many switch models as ds models." 😀
Nintendo Higer Up: "So switch OLED is pretty much switch version 1.2 right?"
Nintendo CEO: "Haha, no. This is technically version 0.2 my friend. We have a lot more money 💰 to make."
Exactly my point!
I wrote that we could have gotten this in 2017.
At the same cost.
This is 3.0 bcs I bought the 6hrs version with 6,2ins screen!
(Or 4.0 if we count the red with larger screen...)
This is how they always do before they are to release the nxt console.
I don't know if we can call the E3 nxt bcs it's after all a Switch no matter how many cassettes/micro disks or a horizontal docking mechanism...
Hi,
Does the OLED screen help with colourblindness issues? I know a few games have the option to tweak those settings, but I was wondering if a more vibrant screen can help solve that even more?
I'm not fully colourblind, but darker games basically show up as a massive dark spot for me, as an extreme example, some of the darker diablo 3 maps I have to navigate purely on minimap. Would an OLED screen help with that?
Thank you for this video. Cleared up a lot of stuff.
Imagine switch lite with oled 😍
Do you think Nintendo will release an OLED variant of the Switch lite, before the Switch II ? (Pro)
watching this on my ipad its great quality and nice video
Congrats on getting the OLED , I have a question about the new dock. I know it come with a built in LAN port, do you know if it supports gigabit or its the usual base 100mb connection?
It’s not dark mode, it’s a “theme”. Something I wish the switch had more of (It shouldn’t be that hard, even the 3ds is running laps around the switch in the theme department lol). Hopefully, we will get new themes because of the OLED (so Nintendo can showcase the colors).
That 64gb upgrade is incredibly generous on Nintendo's part /s
I personally don't get why it took them that long. Internally, the storage is just a module you can plug in like an NVMe on your mainboard. It's not soldered on or whatever. Nintendo could've made SO much more money by just selling the Switch where the simply swapped out the 32GB module for like a 128GB one and sold it for $50 extra.
Can you compare ethernet speeds through the new dock's LAN port and an old dock with an adapter or a USB hub? I use a USB-C hub on my old dock's rear USB which gives me extra USB ports and a LAN connection, for example. I'm wondering if the speeds are better now than through an adapter.
Any improvement in wifi connectivity strength? The base switch had pretty weak wifi antenna.
Also, any thermal differences when running switch vs switch oled?
Lastly, would be nice if you can do some measurements to objectively characterise the end to end input input latency between classic switch and switch lite to the oled switch. Assuming everything else is exactly the same, we can reasonably assume the difference in response time comes right down to the oled screen.
Imagine how many views Kevin would get if he took his hat off
Yeah whats that papa smurf style all about anyways?
Fucking ridiculous watching someone wear a beanie in summer
My guess would be that he is balding, which is why he wears the beanie in videos.
Let the guy have his beanie. Let him live.
Way less
Am I the last one to learn that its going to have a glass screen? Thought it was the normal plastic!
I am so happy I got my question on the video 😁
You're a saint for doing this! Thanks a lot, Kevin!
For me OLED screen is definitely alot more better than IPS and yes I can tell the difference.
I am particularly color blind. I had the original PS Vita and the lcd PS Vita. I couldn't tell the difference between the two. So for me the only change for me is a bigger screen.
Oled and lcd is a big difference. Better colors and more vibrant.
I'm fine with the wiggle on the joycons because I believe it's a safety mechanism so that if you drop your switch it has a bit of give so that it won't just burst open.
The taste one was my big question and I’m glad that was answered
It looks ok but it’s gonna be hard pass for me
Same I have Mario edition but I think it be cool at first but be no difference after couple weeks might cop the joycons tho
@@B3you_ lol I ended up getting from eBay lol don’t wanna miss out lol
Thanks for answering my questions
After playing with the Switch OLED, could you go back to the regular switch or did it look and feel bad?
On the burn in issue, is there anything to reduce burn in potential in active gameplay? Can it do black frame insertion to trade off some brightness for some imperceptible black frames that “wipe” the screen and any static HUDs to prevent burn in?
Great video! Can you talk a bit about the “enhanced audio”? They did mention it at the reveal but I’ve found no info on it… Is it really a great upgrade sound-wise?
This is a great video thank you for this!
this channel deserves 10 million
Thank you very much for answering my question :D
FYI, I have screen burn in reduction turned off on the regular switch as my TV isn't OLED. The screen still darkens after about 5 minutes of inactivity when in handheld or tabletop mode, and this isn't adjustable whatsoever, but the time it takes to sleep IS determined by your sleep mode time toggle in the settings, under sleep mode > auto-sleep when playing on console screen.
It looks like Nintendo already thought ahead, as the TV Settings setting is exclusively for TVs.
I am looking for a charging cable that will work with the OLED in tabletop mode... any suggestions?
Question about screen tint. In your comparison of Switch vs Switch Lite, you noted that the latter had a 'colder' colour cast. Where does the Switch OLED stand?
Is the new Switch model still capped at 100mbps for download and upload speed?
Will the new switch get noticeably hotter or louder?
My old model has only very small plastic strips where the heat sink / fan is. The oled model seems to have much more plastik there and only quite small openings.
a litte side note the Dark theme on switch makes the switch light up the diods less than a white bright light does this means that you will still save a tiny amount of battery with dark theme. (similar to dimming the screen gives you the same effect)
Well that why you get a glass screen protection. Which I did with the old one and will do with the OLED switch
Can you make a video to show if any accessories from the old model can work with the oled like battery cases
The pixels are also larger now, because it's the same resolution. Do they stick out more in normal viewing distance? Because with the normal Switch I noticed they stick out if I go just a little bit nearer with my eyes.
Just subscribed, great vid!
Obviously this might be dependant on manufacturing variances and such but is there any haloing on the OLED compared to the normal models?
Hey so I’ve had my switch since two weeks after launch and had pretty much played it since, is it worth upgrading or should i spend that money on new games?
There is a new official carrying case from Nintendo for the OLED model.
Do you know if the Switch OLED fits into the old official carrying case? Or is the .1 inch difference realy causing trouble?
i got a couple questions.. i'm absolutely pumped for the release of the n64 online and the controller as it was my favorite console (and controller) growing up. I currently own the regular Nintendo switch and was curious if you think its worth the upgrade to the OLED display specifically for the n64 update? I'm not worried about the cost as long as it gives a better experience over all. also, will my joycons be compatible with the newer system?
Nicely Done Kevin! 👌🏾
Does the OLED screen still look as good with the brightnesss turned down?
So pumped to get mine next week from Amazon!
Did you get one or did it sell out before you could snatch one?
this well worth the wait
Does the OLED play games that are saved to an SD card when purchases digitally and transfered from the regular switch?
You really working hard on these
