Nintendo finally catching up to Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3 generation standards by smearing a piss filter over everything.
^ this. Now when I see a cool calibrated screen, everything looks awful to me.
Going by what Erica Griffin said, Nintendo still has some serious quality control issues with the Nintendo Switch revision, which is definitely very concerning.
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.
Amazon Germany said yesterday i'll receive my new switch on Thursday now it'll be delivered today nice :)
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?WTF is Nintendo doing with their hardware? Have they just gone into full cost saving/cheap arse mode with this garbage?
which country ? i ordered the neon v2 on amazon germany and it arrives today
USwhich country ? i ordered the neon v2 on amazon germany and it arrives today

Thanks for the information, ordered one.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).

Is this true? I heard there was no difference...well noticeable difference.it also has a better screen
Old Switch Moddel max brightness: 291 Nits
New Switch Model max brightnesst: 318 Nits
Old Switch colour temp: 7200 Kelvin more blueish
New Switch colour temp: 6757 Kelvin warmer picture therefore more colour accurate
by the time i wrote that i wasn't aware of the screen lottery so it's very likely it differs from unit to unitIs this true? I heard there was no difference...well noticeable difference.

Screen lottery applies to existing units also. It's literally the same screens used as before.So glad I didn't fold and buy a new one. Sounds like a mess. Sort it out Nintendo!!
I never heard of reports of strange interlacing and artifacts?Screen lottery applies to existing units also. It's literally the same screens used as before.
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 beforeI never heard of reports of strange interlacing and artifacts?
I don't know if it's faulty. It's just a bit different. But nothing major. It doesn't bother meThis 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.
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.I don't have to use the transfer method, right? I can reset my old switch and reuse my Profile and redownload my games on the new one?
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.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).
Was it confirmed somewhere that the new processor is 12nm?Battery life is dramatically better in handheld on v2 switch over OG. Nearly double for the most demanding games. The system runs cooler and uses less power draw also as a result of a more efficient node (from 20nm to 16finfet/12nm).
If you plan on playing handheld a lot or at least a decent amount, definitely get the revised switch. It's worth the retail price.
I'd be wary about buying systems on eBay too. Check their recent feedback on ebay. I've gotten burned on eBay way too many times, including on games. I would not buy a used switch for that price unless you exclusively play on docked.
There is a slight possibility that v2 switch could get a higher profile upclocks for better performance. Its certainly capable, but don't get your hopes up.
If you are going to play docked like 80-90% of the time and you can get it for 100 cheaper on the OG switch vs switch v2, then it might be worth getting the OG Switch, if it's brand new.
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

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.
