## Nintendo's OLED Plans

Nintendo is reportedly working on an OLED screen version of the Switch 2. According to South Korean sources, serious internal discussions are underway. Adopting an OLED screen will better showcase the console's HDR capabilities.

## Production and Launch Dates

The OLED-screen Switch 2 is expected to enter production by the end of 2027 at the earliest, with a launch in 2028. This timeline is earlier than many industry observers had anticipated.

## Technical Details

The new OLED model is planned to have a screen resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, a significant increase from the original Switch OLED's 1280x720 resolution. This will align with the Switch 2's existing 1080p handheld resolution.

## Cost and Supplier

Samsung Display is expected to supply the OLED panels, but cost increases remain a variable. The primary reason the Switch 2 launched with an LCD screen initially was to save costs.

## User Feedback

The current Switch 2 LCD panel has faced criticism for issues like ghosting and input lag. An OLED screen could address these problems and offer a better user experience.

## Price and Market Impact

The OLED version is expected to be more expensive. The original Switch OLED model was $50 more than the standard version. Nintendo's price hikes and global memory shortages are also factors to consider.
