Nintendo looks set to update the Switch 2's screen, with fans hoping this new display alleviates the console's so-called 'ghosting' issues.
Rumors suggest that Nintendo is planning to refresh the Switch 2's LCD display to tackle the 'ghosting' problem reported by some users. While the company has not officially confirmed this update, leaked images of a redesigned screen from Sharp have surfaced online. The new panel, similar in size and resolution to the current model, is not the anticipated OLED upgrade.
Nintendo's decision to stick with an LCD screen for the Switch 2 has raised questions, especially since an OLED display was used in the previous model. The company defended its choice, emphasizing the quality of the LCD screen and cost considerations. The exact timing of the screen update's availability and its impact on the console's performance remain uncertain.
Speculation suggests that this screen update might be linked to compliance with EU regulations regarding battery replacement accessibility. Despite the Switch 2's impressive sales performance globally, upcoming price hikes scheduled for September 1 in the U.S. and Europe could impact its market reception.
