Nintendo Weighs Switch 2 OLED With 1080p Screen as Costs Delay 2027 Production

3 articles · Updated · Notebookcheck.net · Jul 13

Summary

  • ZDNet Korea reported Nintendo is reviewing a Switch 2 OLED model with a 1,920x1,080 display, a step up from the original Switch OLED's 1,280x720 panel.
  • Late 2027 or early 2028 mass production is possible only if Nintendo approves the project and starts development at the end of 2026, according to industry sources.
  • Samsung Display is expected to pursue panel supply, but the OLED-LCD price gap is reportedly a key obstacle to finalizing the plan.
  • Nintendo has not announced such a model, and the report says any launch still hinges on development timing, manufacturing costs and market demand.
  • The deliberations follow earlier reports that Nintendo was also considering an upgraded LCD version of Switch 2 to address ghosting complaints.
