Okay, so let’s dive into this whole Nintendo Switch 2 thing. Quick sidebar: I’ve always found gadgets fascinating, but not always for the reasons you’d expect. Like, the stuff you don’t see in the TV ads—you get me? Anyway, here’s the skinny: folks over in China, this reviewer named Chimolog—cool name, right?—says the new Switch 2’s screen, well, it’s kinda sucky. At least in response time.
Apparently, while we’re all here thinking it’s the next big thing, the screen has this average response time of 17.06 ms. Which, okay, sounds like tech jargon, but it basically means the screen’s a bit sluggish. Colors can’t keep up during fast-action gaming. Who knew? No detailed breakdown on how they tested it—maybe they used magic? Or just crossed fingers. Either way, take it with a grain of virtual salt or whatever.
The contrasts, brightness and colors though? Spot on. Chimolog, if we trust them (and I kinda do, kinda don’t—long story), reports it’s hitting like professional levels of color and brightness. So, thumbs up for those shiny bits. Yet, that response time drags it down like when you trip on your untied shoelaces right before a glorious finish line.
Oh, man, and check this—you’d think other screens were better, right? They tested it against all these other monitors. The Switch 2 just couldn’t keep up, kinda like me on a treadmill. The closest competitor? A 27-inch something-or-other with an 11.06ms response time, which was doing a whole lot better. Am I making sense here? Maybe? Kinda lost my train of thought there.
There’s also this weird wavy pattern in color arrangement on the screen. Chimolog points out it makes text look fuzzy. Blurry text? My old eyes don’t need that drama. Apparently, it’s a similar deal with some OLED screens out there.
Quick question—what’s with the 120 Hz thing they didn’t test? You’d think they’d check out the top refresh rate, but nope. Left us in suspense. I imagine it’s like servicing a car but never actually driving it fast on the highway. You get the point though, right?
Somehow, this hasn’t stopped gaming enthusiasts from snatching it up like hotcakes. It’s apparently selling like gangbusters. World record, folks! 3.5 million units in just four days. Wild. Even if the screen’s a bit slow, people want their Nintendo fix, it seems. And hey, an OLED version might be on the horizon—fingers crossed and all that.
Alright, I might’ve gone off the rails a bit there, but sometimes you just gotta see where the thoughts take you. Anyway—what’s your take on all this?
