Monitor Unboxed released test results for the Nintendo Switch 2 display that show poor performance. The tech review channel measured the screen response time at 33 milliseconds. This measurement makes the new console much slower than typical computer monitors. Most PC displays perform between 6 and 20 milliseconds for similar tests. The new Switch actually performs 50 percent worse than the original model.

The testing team believes Nintendo skipped Overdrive technology to preserve battery life. This feature requires more power but helps screens change images faster. The Switch 2 already drains more battery because of its larger 7.9-inch screen and sharper 1080p resolution. The display also shines brighter at 430 nits compared to the original version. These upgrades force Nintendo to make trade-offs elsewhere.

The slow response creates blurry motion during gameplay at 60 frames per second. Players see trailing effects when objects move across the screen quickly. The 120Hz feature will not solve these problems because the panel cannot update fast enough. An OLED screen would fix these issues and improve color contrast significantly. The current LCD screen does cover 98 percent of the DCI-P3 color range compared to 79 percent on the original Switch.
