Man, let me tell you, the Switch 2’s screen, uh, it’s kinda rough. So, according to this Chinese guy, Chimolog, who’s reviewing it, the response time is a nightmare. Like, 17.06 ms on average. I mean, maybe take that with a pinch of salt, ’cause who knows how he tested it, right? It’s rocking a 1080p, 120 Hz, 7.9-inch LCD. Fancy numbers for, uh, something that might disappoint.
The best it can hit is 8.88 ms. Worst? A whopping 27.46 ms. Let that sink in. Maybe it was designed for sloths or something. And OMG, it’s so slow, it bungles up a 60 Hz experience big time. Compared it to other gaming monitors and, surprise, surprise, it crawled in dead last. By far.
The closest was Innocn M2U 27 Mini-LED with 11.06 ms. Like a road runner to a tortoise, if you get me. I kinda feel bad for the Switch though ’cause it tries hard elsewhere. Got great contrast ratios, and I mean top-notch brightness and color gamut stuff. The display’s contrast ratio is like 1309:1, whoa, right? And covers super wide color spaces. Gamut? All over, sRGB, DCI-P3, Adobe RGB, you name it.
Oh, text readability? Kinda sucks. There’s this weird “special RGB” thing going on causing blurry text. Heard that’s common with some OLEDs too. Anyway, no way to check 120 Hz performance yet ’cause Chimolog couldn’t test it. Generally, close-to-max refresh should lower response time but who knows with this one, right?
Now, here’s the wild part: gamers are still buying it like it’s gold. Sold 3.5 million in four days. Yeah, you heard right. World record stuff. Why? Well, they got no choice if they wanna play Nintendo games. Maybe Nintendo will come up with an OLED version, fix the screen horror. But for now, it’s “deal with it” if you’re a fan.
And there it is. A bit haphazard, a little all over the place, but that’s how things roll sometimes.
