The Nintendo Switch OLED it is already available in much of the world. Even in Mexico, where there was no information on its availability and fortunately it coincided with the global launch. Now that the console is getting into the hands of its lucky owners, those in Kyoto have shared a key recommendation that you must take into account to protect the hardware. Specifically the screen, which is the great novelty of this review.
You may have noticed that the console comes with a screen protector. Why? The OLED panel of the new Nintendo Switch is made of glass, a more delicate material than the plastic used in the model with LCD. The protector, then, is not only to protect it from possible scratches, but also to prevent fragments from scattering if it breaks – a situation that is not desired by even the worst enemy.
If I had no protector and it broke, glass shards could cause damage to user. Therefore, Nintendo has preferred to include it as a measure to reinforce security. In fact, they themselves warn that you should not take it off: “Do not remove the anti-scatter adhesive protector from the OLED screen of the console”, collects The Verge. The problem is that the indication comes in the manual of the Nintendo Switch OLED, a document that very few – or no one – will read.
Yes indeed, you must have very good eyes to notice the presence of the protector. Therefore, it will not affect the look of the Nintendo Switch OLED and much less the visual quality of the games. Also, to be honest, most choose to buy tempered glass protectors to avoid damaging the panel; with the new model it will not be the exception. There are even manufacturers that already sell them with the updated measurements of the screen.
The Nintendo Switch OLED is available for 349 euros in Spain or $ 9,999 in Mexico. If you own the original console, you may not find a compelling reason to make the leap; Unless you are a gamer who enjoys it in portable mode most of the time. However, if you’ve never owned the hybrid console, there’s no question which version to choose.
