Nintendo Switch Launch Thread: Now you're playing with power; HYBRID POWER!

Your TV is way too warm and oversaturated IMO
Yeah. It's very concerning.
I've been trying to see if others are having volume issues. But it seems there is no chatter about it.

So I have the top one then I think. That bottom one looks pretty warm. Seems like I may have lucked out?

This just aired on a big news channel from here (Argentina), thought it was really interesting since they don't really do news on videogames and Switch isn't even officially available in my country lol
It reads: "What does this new portable console have? // "Switch" reaches world record sales"

So the top is IPS and the bottom is LCD?

Woot, same here! I've definitely got the top one, just checked.
I use the superior Dark Theme anyways

Can't say for sure, I haven't seen them in person or read more about this, but it seems like the Colour Temperature can differ between the screens.
I hope they're all IPS and it's just panel settings that vary, people that get TN will not like the system, those viewing angles are criminal.
I see... so my Switch screen is like the top picture you posted so it is the preferred one right?

Yes, correct.
Hmmmm
Fairly sure when I started playing on the TV docked today the switch had 72% battery, after 2.5hrs playing it's now on 68%.
Could it be because I was playing Zelda, charging the switch and had 2 joycon a attached to the console charging too?
Or maybe I'm just going crazy.

Warm 1 usually isn't too warm. Industry standards would usually say its not warm enough if anything.
Definitely too saturated though.
Edit - Zelda is a more washed out looking game compared to most so I can see why some people would try and "fix" it though (like Ico/The Last Guardian).
I'd say there's probably a black level mismatch on that capture causing a lot of the problems as a result of trying to remove the washed out look.
If you changed the black level it would look like it does on the Switch screen.
That's a pretty big deal then! I guess the Switch it's simply that attractive enough to talk about it even if the console hasn't launched officially on the country or it's expensive af like on every country in Latin America.
IDK when they changed the PS4 headphone jack volume, but sometime last year I found that the volume threshold is about the same as Switch now (PS4 used to be much louder for me). Maybe it's just the games I'm playing, but I feel like gae audio is too soft on all fronts from almost all devs.
Even the Wii U and 3DS let you do that, it will be possible on Switch eventually. It is bizarre how basic the eShop is at the moment, it needs to be one of the first things they upgrade.
Just ran another test.. Connected the Switch directly to my Sony SRS-X33 BT speaker. The sound was tiny; Vita in compression was room filling while playing games like Cold Steel 2.
I'm curious to know what type of dac the Switch has. I'm going to guess it's weaker than your typical cellphone.

Audio sounds clean and good quality hooked up to a HD 598 C. I can't get it ear bleeding loud, but it gets quite loud.
Got my switch today and my unit has zero issues so far. Straight dock, wifi worked instantly, great screen, joy-cons work perfectly (even at 5 meters and behind back), kickstand doesn't kick open in handheld mode, the system recognizes inserted game cards instantly.
Though I never had any problems with any console or pc component, never had to send anything in for repair either. Guess I'm just lucky.
I love this system, coming from the 3DS to this in handheld mode... It's a different world

Mine is also creaky so bad on the right especially bottom part. I can hardly play handheld mode now, it annoys me. Does your happen since day 1?
I'm about to replacing it maybe in a coming week.
After a week of using the Switch in handheld mode I wanted to try docked mode, but I don't get a signal. My main TV sees that something is connected to the HDMI but doesnt receive the signal (or to weak?). I tried it on my monitor and an old mini HDTV, but those both worked. Anyone got a clue what it might be with my main TV?
They're complying with international laws. Nobody is discussing it because it's sadly the same for all devices nowadays.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Did anyone pick up Soldam from the JP eShop? Seems pretty cool, and the music's great. Might be a pretty nifty hidden gem.
I love that the system is getting shit like this.

I haven't bought one yet but i'm really hoping this isn't true. If it is true wouldn't that require a different model number due to FCC regulations and such?
I'd be curious if people with the yellow screens and those with the vibrant screens have different model numbers.

Has anyone noticed when completely turning off their Switch and then turning it back on after a period of time that their console has more charge? I've noticed this consistently the past few times I've hand the unit in handheld mode and haven't seen this happen with any of my other smart devices.
Same here.
Part of it is that I'm shocked at how good that screen is. I didn't think Nintendo would deliver, but hey, they did.
Yeah, mines doing it at the bottom part, too. Its not so bad that I can't play, at least not yet. It wasn't like this day 1, but it never felt as tight as the left one.
I was going to but they announced a localization so I'm holding off on it. Looks really fun though.

Can you post comparison photos? Or take a look at screenshots taken in both modes?

No, but plasmas generally have great black levels. Awful is not word I'd use.

I just checked mine. I have the top one. ( even though mine even look better than the one on top in terms of white. or maybe the same but camera picking up different color since its a picture)
I hope we don't get another IPS vs Tn screen bullshit
its worth noting that mine is also dead pixels / screen clouding / screen bleeding free too so I am super lucky ( even though at first I thought I have slight screen leak but no I don't lol )

Is there any benefit to me letting the switch drain and charge it to fill the first couple times?

I think someone posted that it consumes roughly 2% power over 24 hours in sleep mode. Much, much better than the 3DS. Although I suspect that's largely because it's not doing any local network communication at all times like Street Pass. Still solid though.
Just noticed my joycon has a crack on the right stick. Thought it was just kinda wiggly, then I look and a piece of the plastic is cracked and just falls off. I haven't dropped it and have only used it normally and put it in the Master Edition case when I travel.
This is no bueno.
It's on the base of the stick, the rounded part going into the joycon
Edit: Aww booooooo. It now catches on that chip when I move the stick....

I finally ordered a screen protector.. all of them are on back order it seems. But I opted for tempered glass one instead of plastic film.
I also went ahead and ordered a warranty through Upsie as I someone suggest. Coverage seems great and less then $23 for 2 years.
Feels good to have some protection

Oh, good to know. I'll wait for the localized version, then.

No. Modern lithium-ion batteries don't work like that.
The only thing you'd be doing is wasting 2 charge cycles (each battery has a certain number as its lifespan)

Portable gaming is back for me. Thank you detachable joycons. I never liked the portable console posture. My most used portable out of several over the years was the small ps1 with screen. Despite having no battery, it was worth finding and outlet and dealing with a corded controller.
