Nintendo explains why Switch 2 is LCD not OLED, sort of

Nintendo Switch 2.
Quick Summary

Nintendo opted for an LCD display over OLED for its latest Switch 2 console, which is a little odd given Nintendo introduced the Switch OLED five years after the original Switch as an upgrade.

A hardware-focused roundtable with select publications saw Nintendo's Tetsuya Sasaki address questions on the decision to use LCD over OLED.

Nintendo finally fully revealed the Switch 2 last week, with pre-orders beginning through Nintendo on 8 April, before the console is released on 5 June. The Switch 2 was first confirmed by Nintendo in January, but it has taken several months to know all the details, and it will be several months longer before you'll have it in your home, so it's been a long time coming.
