      @Nils that wasn’t the only Nvidia bug, I can think of at least two others present on Erista.
      My personal belief is that Nvidia made this thing to “modernize” the Tegra X1, so using a newer bootrom with more modern security features, adding support for more modern hardware (ex. new PMIC and LPDDR4X support), using a better manufacturing process which then helps reduce power consumption.

    Great video however it raises issues with Nintendo's so-called Seal of Quality. The term "Seal of Quality" usually implies all devices are made identical, and therefore should be using the same screen panels from the same supplier to prevent differences in colour temperature as the customer is buying blind and not told before purchase which here in Australia is a breach of Australian Consumer Law. When these issues are discovered, many consumers return to the place of purchase and rightly so as because its of the belief there is an issue because the screen looks odd. Then the retailer sometimes palms the customer off to the manufacturer who can the claim "its within specifications" which is just a blanket statement.
    Since the colour temp is not stated on the packaging or paperwork and user adjustments are prohibited by Nintendo (unless via a software update) this raises more questions from Nintendo. To my knowledge the packaging does not contain a disclaimer along the lines of "Simulated picture only" or "Design subject to change without notice" or equivalent. If these panels are inferior to each other than legally Nintendo is liable. Nintendo years ago made great solid hardware that was identical no matter where purchased which to me is a sign of quality. Unfortunately, outsourcing to multiple suppliers changed this permanently and this is the end result. It's akin to buying a brand of TV and not knowing the panel manufacturer inside. To me it's unacceptable as you are not forewarned and unfortunately there are no legal requirements to indicate this information (to their benefit).
    It is not for consumers to be test subjects / guinea pigs for hardware issues especially when paying for it. If on the other hand it was free then that's a different story. I also believe companies like Nintendo should manufacture their own hardware themselves as this means more control over QC and other factors. I am personally of the believe that Nintendo cannot claim the Switch is made by them because they did not manufacture it themselves, but instead was made by Foxconn or another supplier on their behalf - big difference.
    I personally have no had joy-con drift issues myself however Nintendo's refusal to admit liability or acknowledge the issues / flaws makes me question the moral standing of such a Company especially when these same sticks are used in the Lite version. Then (in Australia) charge for repairs because their technicians "deem" a fault is because of the user in order to bypass Australian Consumer Law, is unlawful (we don't have a no questions asked free repair or replacement) unlike the US and Nintendo here refuse to follow it.

    I was not aware of the screen quality differing like this. I thought all v2 switch's screens were optimal, seems this is not the case.
    I'm pretty sure I'm still going to snag a new switch, battery life is crucial for me. I will now have a keener sense of expectations thanks to you.

I definitely like the controller mount for the joyconsto slide them in to hold as a controller, I bought what I thought was going to be a Nintendo Pro controller, but instead Tesco got me a PowerA controller, meh... it was cheaper, but it's still a 2UP controller, I like the joycons in their controller mount.

However, with the screen gamble, I will stick with my launch model and can always just replace the battery myself when that starts to die off. Thanks!

  • @JamesKaplonek
    @JamesKaplonek 4 роки тому +1

    Hi! I can corroborate everything in this review, you did an excellent job. I had borrowed a friend's 'old' Switch for a few months and finally picked one up for myself when the new ones were released with larger battery life.
    I definitely noticed the same thing where the old controllers were smooth, but the new ones were a matt finish, and same with the paint on the Switch itself.
    Also your points about the antenna placement for the bluetooth are spot on. I had connectivity issues using my friend's old controllers from only sitting about 2.5 metres away from the TV, sometimes the signal would cut out and the console would not register inputs I had made. With the new controllers, I have not had this issue even once and can sit back 3-4 metres or further and not worry about having dropped inputs!
    Also battery life is FAR superior. I found I could only play BotW for a couple of hours at most on my friend's old Switch, and the new one lasts twice as long, although it still drains quickly on full brightness but I don't have to worry quite so much when I want to just play for a bit in bed before going to sleep as I am confident the battery isn't just going to die on me before I'm done.
    Finally, my first purchased Switch had a dead/stuck pixel on the screen and I contacted Nintendo Support and they arranged a courier to collect the faulty unit from me at no charge, and I got a new unit sent out within the space of about 5 days from the first one arriving. So I'd say that's a big plus to Nintendo since I know in the past they have not replaced units with dead pixels because it's a known manufacturing flaw with panels.
    All-in-all very happy to have grabbed one of the new Switches. Very well worth getting for people who are considering a Switch but haven't got one yet! I'm not sure these differences would be worth it for someone who already owns a Switch though, but that's down to them I guess :)
