    I’m probably in the minority, but I don’t mind a cheaper LCD model. The only time I see my switch screen is when I’m moving it from my living room dock to my bedroom dock. The only time I really use portables is like 8+hr flights, literally sits hidden under my TV 24/7 rest of time so I don’t really need it to have a fancy screen. As long as both models have the same dock performance, I’m fine with it.

      The people here really don’t understand Nintendo. They want the console to be as cheap as possible to get it to the most hands as possible and then make the real money on the games. Mom and dad see the price tag isn’t too bad and pull the trigger. Everything has a cost, including an OLED screen Vs LCD (presumably IPS).
