Nintendo May Swap Switch 2's 7.9-Inch LCD Supplier to Sharp as Blur Complaints Persist

3 articles · Updated · Nintendo Life · Jun 30

Summary

  • A new resale-site listing points to a Switch 2 LCD panel that matches the current 7.9-inch 1080p specs but may be assembled by Sharp instead of Innolux.
  • The rumored change looks like a quiet hardware revision rather than an OLED upgrade, though different exposed circuits, connectors and cables could signal internal tweaks beyond the panel source.
  • Sharp's latest financial report said its Hakusan plant expanded mobile-application sales, adding circumstantial support to claims that Nintendo could be shifting screen production.
  • The possible update follows mixed reviews of the launch LCD, including reports of motion blur and ghosting, and comes after Nintendo said a separate Europe revision would make the battery easier to replace.
