That's the game.
The Switch 2 is rumored to have a 120hz LCD screen with VRR and HDR support
- Thread starter IbizaPocholo
- Start date
- Rumor Platform
That's the game.

no, a 120hz VRR screen means that developers can target any framerate between 24, and 120 without stutters.
this means games can target any framerate and it will look decently smooth

switch2 docked will likely support 120
will also probably have dlss, maybe frame gen too
so a 120hz built in display?
could happen
if its 120, i really hope they get frame gen

Why a 120hz screen for hardware being. Compared to ps4 pro? You ai t getting 120 fps. Nintendo lmao

It's more flexible, and future proof.
Frame gen software is only going to get better. 120Hz screen is more compatible with a variety of framerates for stability. BFI tech could be used for a 120Hz screen to make a 60fps have greater motion clarity.
Lots of reasons.

No. Since there is indeed a switch with OLED it seems to me like a step backwards. Thanks for your wonderful insight.

It's too expensive. They want to move units. And therefore they need to put it at a low as possible price point.

I imagine those painful comparisons on YouTube, especially for games without upgrades!

120hz would allow devs to offer 40fps modes. No OLED is bullshit though.

sorry, it's just that this happens every time when any kind of display support is in the news. instantly people equate the capabilities of the screen or the HDMI output with perfomance.
Did everybody forget about the Sharp IGZO display?
Additionally, this can provide a quicker response time, better color rendition and higher pixel density capability.
While a-Si panel monitors require more power for the backlighting of higher pixel density displays, IGZO does not – in fact, it can create even brighter images at significantly lower power consumption.
This is ideal for portable devices with high pixel density. In short, IGZO can deliver a better resolution, speed and pixel density, no matter the display’s size.

IGZO vs a-Si TFT IPS Displays
At the moment, the main advantage of IGZO is its very low power consumption. In comparison to the standard a-Si panel monitor, it can be up to 80%-90% more power efficient due to the higher electron mobility, which is 20-50 times faster than that of a regular panel.Additionally, this can provide a quicker response time, better color rendition and higher pixel density capability.

Thanks for this, as a display nerd I did not know about this. It would be typical Nintendo to give old tech but somehow made magical.

I’ll believe it when I see it but since Nintendo wants to be Apple so badly, I could see them caring a little more about specs this time around kinda like the iPhone.
Since they are just calling it Switch 2, they are going to have to sell the specs and why you need to upgrade. HDR, 120hz and VRR would take the sting off no OLED and it could be a high quality LCD.
I treat my Switch as a handheld system so anything to make that better, I’m all for it.

It’s a ps4 pro. I don’t care if it’s pssr 27, it ain’t coming close to 120fps.

IT'S NOT ABOUT GETTING TO 120FPS YOU MUPPET!
a 120hz screen with VRR allows developers to target 30fps, 40fps, 50fps, 60fps, 70fps, 80fps and so on and so forth.
it allows for an unlocked framerate without frametime stutters. it allows developers of all kinds of titles to target all kinds of perfomance profiles.
and besides, yes it will come close to 120fps. not sure if you are capable of understanding this, but not every game has the same GPU and CPU demands! BREAKING NEWS I know, but it's indeed true that GTA6 and Cuphead when played on the same hardware will not run at the same framerate

Did you even read my post? The game doesn't actually have to achieve 120fps for a 120Hz screen to still have usefulness.

I would think that Nintendo would never allow anyone to adjust those kind of settings.Really good news on HDR and VRR in handheld mode too. LCD is a better match for VRR to start with anyways (but the OLED model cannot come soon enough).
Note on Steam Deck OLED though: it is not limited to 60 FPS and it has HDR and 90 FPS max (you can change the framerate / refresh rate of the screen and put a framerate cap… not as good as VRR, but much more useful than one thinks… 50 FPS cap is basically just as good as 60 FPS for all intents and purposes). OLED colours and contrasts are so so good though

Well, it's a better screen if the rumors are right than in the 2025 MacBook Air for 3x the price, which is an LCD at 60hz no HDR or VRR.
And it probably runs games better than the $1200+ Mac as well.

Why does GAF have such a hate boner for Nintendo?
Nintendo made a SHITTON of money with Switch 1. Why wouldn't they use that money to build a more powerful, more future proof product that will still be competent 5-6 years out?
And don't forget, this is a NEW Nintendo, with new leadership and forward thinking.

Because of a 120hz refresh rate they can now run their games at 40fps, which looks a LOT better on modern TV's and handheld screens.
Its actually not, a PS4 pro.

40hz. They can target 40 fps instead of 60 for some of their current titles running at that and achieve even better visuals that way. Also essentially make slight framedrops unnoticeable.

So basically this will be the new handheld norm. Release and LCD model with a huge markup, then in a year release and OLED model and cut the price of the LCD Model to the price the system should have launched at.

I wish would could get a docked only Switch version. I’ve literally never picked mine up. I don’t even care if it’s the same price and same hardware, just make it less goofy looking.

and they are cheap af, there are $100 android phones with 120 Hz
Don't see why they would not at least do a similar VR experiment this go around. A higher res higher refresh screen only makes it more feasible.
Size not an issue. And weight of a Switch OLED(closer in screen size to S2) is .71 lbs without joycons (before cardboard) compared to a Quest 3 @ 1.2lbs.
Looks aren't an issue either. YOu're putting a box on your face either way.

Who did they think I was shilling for?
So after reading this thread:
First page: ahah no way Nintendo will do that
Second page: whats even the point, no game will run at 120 fps
Third page: I dont even need a screen, I would be happy to pay the same money for a screenless console
Nintendo threads always bring out the crazy lol

I would prefer a more expensive OLED variant at launch but that doesn't work for Nintendo because they like milking consumers with mild mid-gen upgrades.

Sharp is making LCD displays for ‘a new console’ as Switch successor speculation mounts
In an earnings call on Thursday, Sharp CEO Robert Wu said the Japanese electronics company will launch pilot LCD-panel production lines for the new device during its current fiscal year ending in March 2024.“I can’t comment on any details regarding specific customers. But as to a new gaming console, we’ve been involved in its R&D stage,” he told analysts (via Bloomberg).

I only had 4 wishes for the Switch 2.
1. Better ergonomics
2. Hall Effect sticks
3. OLED screen
4. 6 hrs battery life
I'm (prepared to be) disappointed on all fronts, but Daddy Nintendo knows I'll get one either way.
I hope the screen is bright enough to enjoy it outside and that there'll be some quality 3rd party Joy-Cons or else it'll just stay docked.

If it's any consolation, both leaks and Nintendo's own patents seem to indicate that it will have hall effect sticks.
The other three are looking unlikely, though maybe just being larger will help the ergonomics some. At least I'm hoping it will, because I can't use my Switch in bed for more than forty minutes or so without my hands cramping.

Why not just buy a grip for $10 or so, they make a world of a difference, or that's with a grip? The increase in comfort is just insane, for such a small price.

... You know, I have no idea why I haven't bought a grip yet. I've just been living with the hand pain for eight years, lol.
