I have a 1440P display on my Note 5. I keep it at 1440P all the time. And that's at 5.7".
The Switch at 6.2" is only a fraction of the resolution with a larger screen. It's Perceived Pixels Per Inch is significantly higher.
I want more in 2017, not a last century resolution, that's me, that's what I want as a consumer. I won't be spoon fed anything less.

And there is every reason to criticise the Switch, heck there is a reason to criticise every platform. And we should. We are consumers.

Never said don't criticize the Switch. However, a more premium screen on it wouldn't make sense. Making it glass would leave it prone to cracks, and a 1080p-4k screen would simply destroy the battery, something people complained about as well.

Either we get a good screen with acceptable battery life or a spectacular screen with horrendous battery life. have both and you get a higher price tag, something no one would want

Yep, the basics of trade-off.

The way i see it, is if resolution (especially now that we are talking about 720p and up) is the base of anyones argument as to why one platform is better than the other? Then that person is not worth arguing with.

I personally see the focus on resolution as a ridiculous waste of resources. But unfortunately, this is the current gens buzz word.... ts always something. Once we argued about sprites. Then it was polygons. And now its rez......

I still stand by this...... put someone in front of a 55" tv from around 10ft away, and lets honestly see if the difference between 1080p and 4k will jump out at them.

Uhnnn do you consider me someone? For me there is a big difference from 1080p to 4k even on 55" from 10 ft away... but I actually do 4k on 65" at 5 ft away.
