Yep Nintendo hasn't done graphics or technology for 20 years. Why are people surprised? Go buy a fucking 5080 if you want to play Cyberpunk and switch on path tracing.

I mean he's basically complaining that it's not an OLED. Why is he talking about backlight bleed? (which looks incredibly uniform and well managed in the example he shows)

He also says in the video that HDR on breath of the wild in docked mode looks washed out and terrible as well because it lacks contrast. So HDR isn't even being implemented correctly in there 1st party stuff while docked. He's doing an HDR test on mario kart world docked to see the results as well.

Nobody hates Nintendo fans more than Nintendo
Not a single review of the console by major news game outlet. Sending it to influencers to advertise it doesn't count as a critical review

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
This German guy is a the best source for HDR tests and settings of PS5 games. He's worth following.

Hard to tell these days on Youtube if people are honest or not. I'll take a closer look, cheers.

50 % price increase compared to Switch 1, by the way. And in some countries up to 100 % if you are getting shafted by the retailers.
Can't really see where the extra cost went.

OLED also is not really a thing yet for 120Hz displays in that form factor. But regardless, it would've made the Switch 2 $549 at launch which is obviously not ideal. Give it time

Yeah, great and easy-to-follow stuff. Subscribed.

Pretty obvious Ninty wants those that care about oled to double dip or suffer FOMO for the next 2 -3 years.

I wasn't really expecting the small screen to be amazing, but the Switch 2 HDR looks great on my TV

Which ones? Motorola's 250 GBP phone from last year has an LTPO OLED panel with a peak brightness of 3000 nits(!!) that can smoothly vary refresh rate between 1 Hz and 120 Hz. The cheap motorola from a year before the last year did 1000 nits, my nearly 4 year old pixel 6 pro that currently sells for less than 200GBP can pull off 1000 nits. You have to really go out of your way and be real cheap to stick to a 450 nits LCD panel in 2025.

He's one of the sources that exposed just how broken RDR2 'HDR' was initially (and the changes that followed) and usually backs things with numbers/measurements, so not doing 'wibe tech' analysis like certain channels have been as of late.
That said - I'll watch this review later - at work now.

The Steam Deck OLED starts at $549, and the regular Steam Deck starts at $399. For the extra $50 you get a dock + Joy-Cons and a "docked mode", which doesn't exist on the Steam Deck. As well as physical games that can be resold.
Obviously the games and accessories cost more and there is less choice when compared with the PC. But the actual price of the console itself is arguably the best part of the value proposition. Why are you paying more? Because you're getting a system that is at least 5X faster than the old one, and components are not coming down in price as they have done in the past. Hence the price increases we have seen on the current gen consoles.

Lol, a HDR review and the guy doesn't even encoded the video properly, he wants those early clicks ASAP. Try by yourself:
My review: the screen looks really good, not as good as the OLED for obvious reasons, but way better than the LCD on the Switch 1 by a really big margin, The pixel density way better than i Expected, very colorful, 120 fps + Nvidia Gsync, can't ask for more for a LCD Panel 8/10. In docked mode, tested on my LG Oled B2 and on my LCD TCL Series S6. The HDR Looks AMAZING in MKW
, gonna try FAST Fusion later.

Encode what video? His giving you the data.
And being better then switch 1 LCD isn't exactly something to jump up and down about cosnidering how cheap and old that tech was.

No OLED, bad HDR (not even mini-led I guess) and no hall effect joysticks. It's basically the Switch with improved power, and they release this along with the growing popularity of other PC handhelds, which even have a console like experience thanks to SteamOS. I guess you must really want those Nintendo exclusives in order to buy this.

You forgot no docked VRR and analogue triggers so we can't play racing games.

SoC is from 2021.
It's the rumored Switch Pro rebranded to Switch 2 at the last moment.
