Switch 2. Yeah, so I was reading this thing about its screen — and wow, what a mixed bag. Some Chinese reviewer, um, Chimolog, or something like that, dives in with these claims. Like, okay, 17.06 ms response time? Yikes. But then, who even knows how they tested it? No details were given. So, maybe it’s off? Or not. Who can say?
Anyway, the screen itself: 1080p, 120 Hz, at 7.9 inches. LCD. Fancy numbers, right? But then you hit this wall where the response time can hit 27.46 ms at its worst. A snail could move faster — well, maybe not, but you get my drift. Averages at 17 ms, really. So, if you’re hoping for snappy 60 FPS gaming, yeah, not gonna happen. Some other displays beat it hands down, like this Innocn M2U Mini-LED. It’s got like 11.06 ms. So much better.
Thing is, Nintendo went all out on other stuff. Contrast, brightness, color — it kinda nails those. 1309:1 contrast ratio or something, and brightness all at 303 cd/m². The color’s practically a rainbow, hitting all the right spots for sRGB, DCI-P3, and more. So, there’s that. But then! The text readability flops with some “special RGB” thing going on. It’s like looking through a foggy window.
As for 120 Hz trials, nope — nothing really certain there. I guess higher refresh rates often mean better response times, but who really knows with this one?
The irony? Despite this snail-paced screen, people, myself included, are snapping up the Switch 2 like it’s the last ice cream on a hot day. Sold 3.5 million in four days! Wild, right? I mean, it’s Nintendo. It’s the only place for their games, so we kinda just deal with it. But man, they better bring out an OLED version soon, or I might just scream.
