Bad Switch Lite. While Nintendo’s smaller, cheaper handheld certainly has its audience, there’s no doubt it pales in comparison to the Switch – an OLED model thanks to the latter’s far superior display.
However, as a YouTuber and handheld computer expert, this could be a thing of the past Such Udon has created a prototype modification that replaces the standard LCD screen in the Switch Lite with an OLED screen. What’s more, Udon stated that the mod shouldn’t cost too much to implement, with prices ranging from $25 to $50 based on overall interest.
In addition to the OLED display, HDMI output has also been flagged as a potential feature for the Switch Lite, although Udon stressed that this would be limited to 720p, while the Switch and Switch – OLED model can output up to 1080p when paired with Nintendo’s official dock.
However, the screen itself sounds more than enough for us. We’ve been quietly hoping and praying that Nintendo would release their own ‘Switch Lite OLED’ for a while now, but alas, our hopes are starting to fade with each passing year. We love the Switch Lite’s smaller form factor, but going back from an OLED screen to an LCD screen is often a tough pill to swallow.
