| sc94597 said: Eh, I think it is fine for people to be hyped for VRR and HDR support. These weren't certainties, especially considering many PC handhelds released in 2024 and 2025 for higher prices than the Switch 2 don't have screens that support this. To a lesser extent, same thing is true for a 1080p internal screen and 120Hz. Edit: Digital Foundry, "It is a very compelling mobile screen, maybe one of the best mobile screens around for a handheld device of this type." , "[The display] sounds delightfully wonderful actually." |
IIRC, back when Famiboards revealed the LCD screen on the shipping manifestos, people found out it was actually the cheapest one available at that particular size and configuration.
The thing is, virtually all modern LCDs can go far above their advertised refresh rates and have enough of a range to claim some sort of HDR support, they just won't look that great doing it in terms of pixel and motion clarity. That alone doesn't tell us much about the Switch 2 vs. OG Steam Deck's screen quality, for instance.
By the way, the DF video had Donkey Kong Bananza 1080p60, Mario Kart World 1440p60., The Duskbloods/Elden Ring/FFVIIR 1080p30, and Cyberpunk 2077 720p30 (average), which is in some cases better than a PS4 but definitely not Pro/XSX territory... as reasonably expected.
