Funny how telling the truth about hardware gets labeled as "warring" now. Maybe if more people spoke up early, we wouldn't be normalizing this slow erosion of consumer expectations.
Switch 2 Display Tested. Afterimage is due to "incredibly slow" response time

The entire Switch 2 signal chain is likely greater than 100ms so the 30ms extra should be considered in that context.
Underclocked compared to what? The Switch 2 delivers comparable performance to the Steam Deck in portable mode, at less than half the power consumption, on a worse process.I tried to warn people they needed to wait on this sucker. There is no defense for paying for crap quality, especially from Nintendo. The joycons still develop drift, the sub temu quality screen, and under-clocking the processor to prevent a fireball in your hands, and the short battery life…..and we aren't even a month out from launch!Yes sir, that's $450 well spent! They have to be making bank on profit margin because they sure as hell didn't spend much on R&D, quality, or game development!

70ms for DLSS?

Unity/Unreal can take 2-3 frames or more by default. Then there's OS and IO latency. Not sure about DLSS time/cost but I think it spans some frames.

Edited thanks lol (I had said Switch 2 screen is slower than Switch 2, which regrettably may actually also be true because there seem to be multiple types of Switch 2's out there lol)

this is assuming the screen can be upgraded via a firmware update. Not all LCD panels have that ability.

Which means....
1) The screen can be updated, but Nintendo won't do it
2) The screen is updated by Nintendo, but they may or may not tell anyone
3) The screen can't be updated and Nintendo will never say a word about it

You're wrong. It's impossible to have a display with VRR and HDR that does not have a controller with firmware that connects to it and "negotiates" the signal with the console hardware. That said, I doubt Nintendo will take action on this because it's a minor issue.

Just because it has a controller with firmware, does that mean the firmware can be updated by the user via the normal UI?

Of course Nintendo can, the system updates are installed "from outside" the system sandbox itself, obviously with all the corresponding signatures and security measures.

Fair enough. I don't recall ever having to update a screen's firmware before so I have no idea how that would work.
Ahh good to see this, I had a post earlier reflecting on the potential power usage increase and maybe why Nintendo tuned it the way they did, I guess that's not the case.
