The gaming giant's updated OLED model will be launched on 8 October along with the highly anticipated Metroid Dread. It will replace the Nintendo Switch’s 6-inch 720p LCD panel with a 7-inch OLED screen. The individual pixels on an OLED screen produce their light, offering better viewing angles, higher brightness levels, and deeper blacks while playing outside in direct sunlight.[caption id="attachment_9789381" align="alignnone" width="1280"]
