I consoled myself after yesterday’s OLED Switch announcement and created a clear “Fire Mario” Switch. I’d say if you already own a Switch you don’t need the OLED model. This was a great mod to make old hardware feel new!
As for the OLED screen I have the worst feeling that it will be crap. 720p pentile at 7 inches??? It will look less sharp than the RGB stripe LCD of the current Switch and it will look “hatchy” with a screen door effect. Think of the oled screens of old.
I also think colors will be so grossly oversaturated that some games will look neon. If they don’t bother to calibrate the grayscale you will also have no details in shadows, making some content look overly dark.
It could be really dreadful.
If they properly calibrate these displays and include an sRGB mode to Switch to it could be OK.
