New Improved Switch Now Available
- Thread starter Mcfrank

No matter how much people say "warm is accurate" we all want the cold blue LOL. It just sounds better. Even if it isn't.
Anyways isn't it just RNG? That Erika girl on YT bought two new switches and one was colder one warmer.
It seems I need to hold onto my Mario Odysse edition for dear life then, that must have been the peak of Switch screen quality lol.
Shame to hear screen lottery is still a thing. The "scanlines" / voltage inversion issue was one of my main gripes with the original console's screen, subtle as it was.
Came across a video on Youtube that claims wi-fi speeds are better on his new Switch than the old, unfortunately he doesn't go into any real detail on his testing procedure or signal strength.

WTF is Nintendo doing with their hardware? Have they just gone into full cost saving/cheap arse mode with this garbage?
Put a sheet of white paper behind both switches. Go to daylight or a light with 6500k then place the white balance measuring point on the white paper. That would lead to a better comparison picture.
I remember when the switch was out of stock and they shipped the newly produces via plane instead of vessels. That also ended up having a lot of screen where the glue hasn't fully dried. I quess it's a bit the same here with the bad examples. My Mario Odyssey Switch looks absolutely lovely now but I remember it had a tind of yellow/red when I got it.
Same for me, switched from Saturday to Thursday and this morning to today.
Now I just hope the screen will not disappoint.

So assuming that I wouldn't be able to get a Switch before my flight to Japan on 31st, I went and ordered an Oculus Quest for portable entertainment instead.
Now reading here that the new Switch is available on Amazon Germany (and can apparently be delivered to me by Tuesday), I've ended up ordering one!
Ah well, I guess I won't be getting bored on my 11 hour flight! :D
EDIT: Any essential accessories that I should know about? I haven't even ordered any games yet, but figured I'll just pick some up a day or two before my flight (Super Mario Odyssey is the big one that I really want).

For the Germans here: Real is selling the new revision too and it's 20 euros cheaper than Amazon Germany (you can even use your Payback card to get some points lol).

What a well thought out response to clearly selective hardware issues. We've seen issues with the screen tint before, and typically it disappears after awhile. Though would you argue the same for any TV that could also experience the same issue?
which country ? i ordered the neon v2 on amazon germany and it arrives today
Pretty sure its on amazon. You might need to search nintendo switch hac-001 - 01.
i looked as well on the us amazon site but there really is just they grey one
It is, but only the grey version
I'm planning one as a surprise gift and the recepient has stated preference for neons. Although if neons don't show up soonish they'll have to make do with grey.
Is this true? I heard there was no difference...well noticeable difference.
by the time i wrote that i wasn't aware of the screen lottery so it's very likely it differs from unit to unit
Well that settles it then, my 2017 switch has slightly warmer colours then my phone but its not a negative and has no issues.
I hardly ever play undocked and if I do there will a plug socket or a power bank near by. Also I don't want to have to go through screen protector malarkey and having to spend more money.
However I wonder how serious the issues Erica has found are, the scan lines and artifacts sound bad but the colour temps are not much of an issue unless you multiple switches and want colour consistency.
Do the old models have this much screen lottery? If not i might take advantage of the crazy discounts and buy a older one instead.
Screen lottery applies to existing units also. It's literally the same screens used as before.
I never heard of reports of strange interlacing and artifacts?
This fear-mongering reminds me of the launch of the original Switch model when a lot of people kept linking that infamous crowbcat youtube video where it looked liked all of the Switch units were faulty. Of course there will be faulty models but it's not like it wasn't happening with the old Switch model either in the last two and half years. It sucks if you get one but then simply return it and get a new one.
There has always been variances in screens - it's just more amplified as the press and influencers are doing comparisons when they had no reason to do so before
I don't know if it's faulty. It's just a bit different. But nothing major. It doesn't bother me
That's what I did. No transfer method. I just downloaded all my cloud saves (you need to have an online subscription for cloud saves) and then I redownloaded all my games.
The only essential accessories would be a glass screen protector (I installed the screen protector before turning on the console for the first time) and a travel case.
Was it confirmed somewhere that the new processor is 12nm?
Nintendo could at least curb the screen lottery if they allowed calibration controls. IDK, what fixes the scan line stuff though. So glad I'm only planning on using it in docked mode.
There was a statement about increase efficiency due to 2 steps in process improvements, so either 12/16nm.
I see the new Switch isn't free from the dreaded Nintendo screen lottery. Such a shame for those who play mostly on handheld mode. I wonder how bad this will be with the mini, it'll be the 3DS all over again.
I'm gonna check my Switch screen just in case because I never paid attention to it and I hardly play in handheld mode.

Do you folks think that the OG launch Switch is going to have value and to hold onto it? I just got the revised one and am now considering if I should save it as the original hardware had that vulnerability I think, or if I should just trade it in towards other games and such.

No. It's either 16finfet or 12(just guessing). We need an x-ray scan to determine that.

I'd take the screen on the bottom every single time. Top screen is pink.Pictures are misleading
after i see your post I go check mine to see if I'm crazy. I do a picture and I'm like oh not so yellow anymore
Then I go take my og switch and check side by side and the whole pictures seems different
Yep. That's the same switch v2 in both picture.
Anyway it doesn't bother me much now.
That's because cool screens are inaccurate and awful. Not to mention bad on the eyes.
Meh, probably going to skip this one and get the Switch Lite instead. Don't really care that much about TV connectivity, and at least the Lite has a 100% chance of not having Joy-Con wobble. And with the 100€ that I will save, I can already buy 2 games.
Nice. The chip node still isn't confirmed yetz but they think it's 16nmfinFETDigital Foundry has posted their return of the Mac. I.e. Hac 001-01 review.
