A Chinese reviewer tested the Nintendo Switch 2 display and found mixed results. The gaming device features a 7.9-inch LCD screen with 1080p resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. Chimolog measured the screen's pixel response times during testing. The reviewer discovered potential problems with motion clarity during games. Response times averaged around 17 milliseconds across different measurements.
Gaming displays need fast pixel response times for smooth motion. Pixels must change colors quickly to avoid blurry images during action scenes. The Switch 2 measured between 8.88 and 27.46 milliseconds for pixel changes. These speeds are considered slow for gaming at 60 frames per second. Other monitors tested performed better than the Switch 2 display.
The screen excels in brightness and color reproduction despite slow response times. Peak brightness reaches 303 cd/m² with excellent uniformity across the panel. The display produces a contrast ratio of 1309 to 1 for deeper blacks. Color accuracy covers the complete sRGB space and nearly all DCI-P3 colors. The screen also reproduces most Adobe RGB colors accurately.
The display uses IPS technology known for wide viewing angles. A special RGB layout creates wave-like patterns across the screen surface. This design may cause text to appear blurry during close viewing. The reviewer could not test response times at full 120 Hz refresh rates. Higher refresh rates typically improve pixel response performance for gaming.
