Alright, so I’m just diving into this whole Nintendo Switch 2 thing and… wow. The screen? Not exactly winning any awards, if you ask me. Some guy in China, Chimolog I think? Yeah, he had some choice words. Apparently, the screen’s all about that 17.06 ms response time life. Sounds technical, right? Honestly, no clue what that even means at first, but stick around. It’s not so rosy.
So, here’s the juice: everyone’s raving—or maybe cringing—about its 1080p, 120 Hz, 7.9-inch LCD setup. And no one’s really sure about how Chimolog got his numbers. Felt compelled to mention it. Maybe his cat walked on the keyboard? Who knows. But he says, at its best, it was like, what, 8.88 ms? And when it was slacking off, it hit a sluggish 27.46 ms. Pixels just having a chill day, I guess. Like me on a Sunday morning.
But here’s where it gets weird—compared to others, it’s dead last. Like, not even in the same race. Have you ever come in last at a sack race? Not fun. Okay, so the Innocn M2U 27 monitor or something had a way better response time. This thing ran like a cheetah, and the Switch 2 was more like a… sleepy sloth, I guess?
Oh, but hold up—Nintendo did some stuff right. Kind of. Contrast, brightness, colors all looked like they got an A+. Maybe A-. The display talks big about its 1309:1 contrast ratio and all that, but it’s all a bit muddied when the text reads like a scrambled screen. Yeah, the text. Sort of like when you rub your eyes too hard and the world goes blur city. Something to do with the RGB being all wavy? Weird.
And here’s another twist: 120 Hz? Was it tested? Nope. That’s a no-show in the review. But, in general, faster refresh means better times, right? You’d think so. But this isn’t that kind of fairy tale.
I mean, here’s the kicker—people still love it! Insane. The thing’s selling faster than hotcakes on a Sunday brunch, like, 3.5 million units in four days. Sounds imaginary, but true story. And everyone’s just hoping, fingers crossed, for an OLED upgrade soon.
So yeah, the Switch 2 isn’t perfect. But let’s face it, if you’re into Nintendo, probably doesn’t matter too much. It’s the games, after all. And everyone’s just waiting for the next big fix. Fingers crossed, right?
