    I love my switch. I was using the smaller lite version and wanted to upgrade to something that could connect to my tv or desktop and this was the perfect option. Quality is very nice and the details with gameplay are amazing!

    I’ve owned it for a while. The screen is nice. Has a good amount of glare tho. Everything looks like it’s soft and has good lines. Very vibrant

    The screen on this new version of the Switch is gorgeous. The screen slightly larger than the old version and it can get so bright while maintaining black levels that are truely black. The kickstand is WAY better than the old one as it spans the width of the back of the switch. I'd highly recommend upgrading to his OLED Switch or just making it your first purchase even if it's a little more pricey.

    Loved my day 1 Switch. Never had issues and was reluctant to buy this. Boy, am I glad I did. The OLED screen is making me go back and play games I beat ages ago, so I can enjoy the OLED view. Battery life is a HUGE improvement. I never had issues with drifting, so I am hoping that's the case here. If you play mostly docked, even that has an upgrade. Ethernet built in at the cost of a USB port, but whatever. But if you play strictly docked, then this might be fore you. The white matches my PS5. Love it love it love it.

    I got the OLED Switch as an upgrade from my Switch Lite, and overall I'm really impressed with the display. Even though it's a 720p display, the text and colors are clear as day, and you would think it's running at 1080p. My only complaint is that I notice more lag/frame dropping on this Switch than my Switch Lite, probably due to the more demanding display. I also wish that it supported 4K when docked, but it is limited to 1080p 60fps. The joystick on the left joycon is also a tad broken – the down position requires a bit of force to reach its full range of motion. It also makes a clicking sound, which is not present on any of my other joycons, which is unfortunate as Nintendo does not sell the white joycons on their own.

    You get everything that makes the Switch great, along with the new and very improved kickstand, additional internal storage, and of course -- the new beautiful OLED display. I personally love OLED screens, and this one passes the test. It is a substantial upgrade from the older LED screen that didn't quite have as much brightness or contrast as we wanted. Ease of access is hindered for people upgrading from an older Switch in my opinion. The data migration process for taking data from an older Switch is an absolutely convoluted mess that doesn't need to be nearly as complicated as they make it. Even if you put everything on your SD card and swap it to your new Switch, it isn't that easy. Prepare to redownload ALL of your games. Also, for use in Animal Crossing, be very careful and follow the precise directions that involve downloading the Island Transfer Tool from the Nintendo digital store.

    Such a wonderful console. The beauty of the switch is games on it look great despite running at 720p in handheld mode. Having an oled screen really brings out the best in nintendo’s animation style. This isn’t a must have but it is fantastic. if you already have a switch, this isn’t a successor and if you plan on only playing in TV mode, I’d say get the normal one and use an $10 Ethernet adapter if you need.

    I've been playing this for about a month now and must say that it a slight improvement over the previous model Switch. The better screen is great for handheld, especially if it is being used with the stand and a pro controller. The stand is MUCH better than the original Switch. The old switch had the little stand on one side where this one is nearly the width of the whole unit. I've done some long play sessions on it without it getting too hot or lagging. It's definitely a good improvement over the older Switch I have.

    This thing brought a part of my childhood back. I had been debating for a couple years weather or not I should get one and I finally did. Im very pleased with it. It has decent battery life and the rest of my family loves it too. Paired it up with the nintendo online + expansion and ive been able to play several of the older games i played as a kid. I highly reccomend the switch for anyone of every age its been a blast.

    Switch Upgrade Review

    Nintendo Switch OLED model is an excellent upgrade for anyone looking for a better gaming experience on the Switch. The new OLED screen, improved audio, and redesigned kickstand make it a worthwhile investment for both new and existing Switch owners. However, if you already own a Switch and are happy with its performance, the OLED model may not be necessary, as the performance improvements are minimal.

    It's a great upgrade if you own an original Switch from 2017-2018. I sold my original Switch for more than the original value since it was a HAC-001 moddable unit and bought this one. Kind of puts the Switch Lite in an awkward position considered this was designed with more of an emphasis in handheld with the screen. Nonetheless with the combination of the double battery life, beautiful screen, and wired dock, you're getting the best model right now. It is worth the extra $50 if you're a first time buyer.

    Love the new oled screen. In my opinion it’s best to just save a few more dollars for the better graphics on the oled compared to the regular one. But the both have mainly the same functions all your paying for is a slightly bigger screen on the oled and a brighter more lively looking screen on the oled.
