You aren't going to see a huge difference if your room has a bunch of lights turned on. OLED shines when you have the lights out.
Compared to a launch switch you have:It's almost nothing of an upgrade really. I take it by now 99% of people out there know what to expect from a small OLED screen. The other "upgrades" are barely worth mentioning. I never had any desire to get one.
Compared to a launch switch you have:
- Better speakers
- Larger and better looking display (contrast, colors, motion resolution and pixel response time, etc…)
- Finally a working kick-stand not made of flimsy plastic
- 64 GB of internal storage instead of 32 GB
- Longer battery life
- Ethernet built in the Dock
- Somewhat better materials overall (look at the area around the display too)
I cannot fathom paying £349 for smaller bezels and better blacks on a 720 display which most of the time renders unaliased 520p games at 30fps. Just buy a nice OLED TV and play the original switch docked.
Did you buy that or is it your employee one?I'm loving my model
The OG Switch looks dank and feels cheap in comparison.
It looks way better, the screen is way better, bigger, brighter more vivid, the sound is better, the kickstand actually works, it feels much sturdier and more stable with the new joyycon track pad.
I don't know how old you are currently, but if you're blown away by anything 100 years from now, I'd be impressed. But I won't be impressed, because I won't be there to be impressed.I don't expect to be blown away by a screen for another 10-100 years

This is the bit that gets me...why no Switch OLED lite? Nobody is specifically going out of their way to buy the Switch OLED to play docked.Those who play in docked-mode, will not profit from upgrading.
People always say this but it's a small screen that you only play games on. This isn't like a cell phone where you consume media, or browse webpages. 1080p would be lost on the Switch, but OLED no matter the resolution brings big improvements.How can anyone be excited for a 720p OLED screen in 2021…
Sure, but without any HDR support (bit of a bummer) it would loose the most oomph there IMHO.With this screen in it it's too bad they don't have Netflix or plex on it. Tried out some obviously downscaled 4k clips on YouTube and they looked fantastic.
My badI meant in cat years.
You can do the same with the original Switch. Either model you'll be draining the battery quickly by doing so.I felt the same way until I cranked up the brightness and left it there. Now OLED is burning my retinas SO GOOD!!!
Definitely not a myth. I don't think you could ever NOT scratch the Switch, no matter how careful you were.Can you still scratch it putting it in and out of the dock if your not as careful as a heart surgeon or was that always an urban myth?
Yes. But that's where you can see where your extra fiddy bones went!You can do the same with the original Switch. Either model you'll be draining the battery quickly by doing so.
Well, I'm glad you're excited. I wasn't as blown away as I had hoped to be.Yes. But that's where you can see where your extra fiddy bones went!
Its not just that, the screen is a more durable glass this time instead of hard plastic so that should also prevent your usual scratchesDefinitely not a myth. I don't think you could ever NOT scratch the Switch, no matter how careful you were.
This new dock seems better for that, but time will tell.
I mean I totally think it's worth it if you DON'T have a Switch, however paying for an upgrade doesn't seem like a good idea unless you only play handheld.I mean.. a lot of us did say it was a shitty upgrade but some fans insisted for an extra 50 bucks it was worth it for that and the better kickstand.
So it turned out it was a shitty upgrade?
$260? Is there a promo I'm missing?100% worth an upgrade.
No reason to still be on the 1st/2nd gen with the $260 gamestop trade-in offer
While I agree with you in principle...I still have all my old Switches lol. They're stacking up like cars in a junkyard. And whether or not you think it's worth 350 bones...other poster...it's entirely the consumer's decision. But your mileage may vary. I'm loving it so far.100% worth an upgrade.
