Comparison to mobile displays (those you can plug via USB-C/HDMI) would be interesting. Gaming display is a entirely different category, says nothing about the product.
They’ll release a “New!” version in a year with an improved screen as one of its bullet points, in a bid to get you to buy it again. And people will. See also:
- The Gameboy Advance SP/New SP
- The DS/DS Lite
- 3DS/New 3DS
- The Switch/Switch OLED
Granted, all major gaming consoles do this now.
New 3DS was actually a pretty huge upgrade over the original. Despite the name, it was effectively the next generation of the console. Or at the very least a half-generation.
Nintendo thinks consumers are stupid… And they are so…
So basically, the news here is that the switch 2 screen is better than the switch 1 at 17ms vs 21ms, except for one singular tester that claims 30+, which no other independent tester collaborates… And then they go and compare it to screens that cost multiple times the entire switch’s cost… And this is presented as a bad thing?
Are you kidding me rn
My understanding is it’s worse than the switch 1 and basically every other modern handheld from the PSP onward.
My understanding is that most testers found it’s about 4ms better than the switch 1, and the only tester that found it worse refuses to actually outline their methodology, and nobody can reproduce the 30ms+ number.
Nintendo: What! If we got better screens you would be complaining thst it cost even more!
Nintenblow! Next, they will try to brick their trading cards if you use them against their terms.
I never played MK Wii because of the graphics. The game was just fun. IDGAF about graphics.
Lol, I get it but comparing the Switch 2’s tiny screen to €600-2000 OLED gaming monitors is fucking pointless (it’s where the 100 times slower comes from).
It’s also terrible compared to the first switch’s screen though.
Except other testers found it to be ~4ms faster than the switch 1, in tests where they actually give their methodology.
Monitors unboxed just went “yeah it’s 30+ms, source: trust me bro”
Yeah it’s not good, it’s just a weird thing to put in the headline. It’s like comparing a new hatchback with its competition, but then also say it’s slower than the newest Ferrari. I think that should be a given as it’s a fraction of the price
Pretty sure phones have better screen responsiveness
… it’s a handheld …
I have a Chinese handheld with a 1080p oled display that doesn’t ghost.
refresh rates stay in the 60fps.
cost me $400.
it plays all my Roms, emulators, videos, browsing, it even plays steam remote beautifully.
I’ll never buy another Nintendo again.
