  • When does screen size alone not make a more enjoyable gaming experience? When there are more compromises to using a larger monitor or display, than benefits of a larger screen. This device does what it sets out to do by substantially increasing the size of the Nintendo Switch's screen, but if that were the end of the story we would all be running out to buy one of these.

      So is that a no for someone like me who could use a bigger screen this size for like let’s say when I’m using Art Academy Home Studio on my Wii U device??? Even when using the Art Academy Lessons For Everyone on my 3DS XL Device that could connect to this bigger monitor device??
      Heck, or even when using Art Academy or Colors Live 3D Art application games on the Switch Oled device???

    Very interesting...
    Bearing in mind that the switch is working in Docked Mode (the energy comsuption is higher than hanheld Mode ) using a 20.000mah powerbank for instance.... How many hours can you play??
    Do you have any estimate time of playing using a PowerBank with the Orión screen + switch connected ???
    Thank you so much

    So I was heavily considering purchasing something like this for my switch. As it is used as a mobile game station, you can see why a device like this would be appealing. The larger screen is in the zone where you want a bigger screen bit not something as big as a full size TV or monitor without the bulk or cumbersome. My biggest hint that this was not for me, was that the ppi for the screen is not disclosed.eaning that with a bigger screen, you could lose out on details compared to the original screen and especially the oleds. I wish the speakers were front facing. The kickstand should be centered or at least elongated for added stability. While the current kickstand will suffice for flat hard surfaces, the device will find itself toppling over on soft or padded surfaces. Other than that I love the universal battery bank straps and the fact that the switch is dockable to retain power on/off and volume switches. The screen is not touch sensitive so any games or ui utilizing that will not work and will make you revert to using tactile controls. Bonus points is that this has an hdmi input so its compatible with other devices other than the switch. If this was priced more around $200 then I could see more buyers

      So what if, you wanted the monitor with the higher temperature better see how you’re drawing your art like when using or playing Art Academy on the Switch or Wii U??? Where you use a stylus or something that touches the screen.

    Question is, does this put the switch in docked mode where the resolution is at least a little bit better?

    • @AtomizerX
      @AtomizerX Před rokem +1

      The Orion is basically a 3rd-party dock built into a display so yes the Swich can then output in docked mode (i.e. FHD by default,) but because the display resolution is WXGA that means the image is scaled regardless of output resolution. That in turn means that the image will be a bit fuzzy due to scaling, so it would probably make the most sense to set the Switch's docked output resolution to HD and keep the slight performance boost due to being in docked mode.

    One more demographic - easy multiplayer fun at bars and gatherings
    I'm a bartender and I carry around a massive gaems guardian pro suitcase TV for impromptu smash bros gatherings. This thing looks a lot more convenient, especially with the option of battery power and not having to lug around the dock and connectors. Just a laptop sleeve for the Orion and a personal bag for controllers. It's also nice to be able to take this out on my porch for some casual tabletop mode gaming with my pro controller
    The cons honestly are a big enough deal for me to discredit what the Orion can do. Not so great visual quality isn't going to change the fact that gaming on a 12" monitor is more fun than a 6-7" one... But I can't say the same for the price. That's ludicrously expensive. If it included the battery? Yeah sure I might go for that, but 250-300 buckaroos for the monitor alone is making me wince
    I still may go for it, but only because there's no other options on the market that do what the Orion can. It's still painful though lol

    It’s $350 where I saw this for sale. $299.99 on the website plus any tax and shipping. So it’s about the same as buying a new switch. But with your review not so good screen. I saw this in person and wanted it. Till I saw this video. If it’s blurred then I can pass at that price anyway. This has to come down sometime soon.
