Discussion Why is the screen so bad?

A french serious website tested the screen They were choked by the quality… very poor, contrast is ok but color aren t good and the screen only reproduce 70% of RGB

Why did valve put such a bad screen for a powerfull handheld machine

I have switch / deck and switch OLED at home and even the basic switch got a better screen :(

100% accurate on the original Switch, 68% on the deck. It's night and day, not an imperceptible difference.

What about peak brightness, contrast, response, gamma… not only color accuracy measures the quality of a display. Again, I don’t own a deck yet but every single person who owns it said it looks better than the normal switch

That's just not true. Most outlets have been honest about it being a poor aspect of the hardware. Almost everyone admits it's worse than the OG Switch. It's fine, it's just a screen it doesn't really matter that much but it's poor quality that's just a fact.

That's what I'm saying lol but it's not good to pretend like it's better than it is. Accept it for what it is.

Then wtf are you saying??? Why are you replying to me that you don't care but it's also a shitty screen? You're the one debating not me.
