Multiple outlets report a new rumour that Nintendo is preparing a subtle hardware revision of the Nintendo Switch 2 involving its LCD screen. The claim traces to a Chinese resale listing and images said to show a “new model” of the Switch 2 LCD panel. The reported specifications are described as matching the existing panel rather than shifting to a different display technology such as OLED.
The reports cite Nintendo Patents Watch as the source compiling the information. According to the rumour, the updated LCD panel could be a more substantive redesign rather than a minor refresh, with one outlet specifically framing it as addressing complaints about the current screen. Metro and VICE both mention an improvement aimed at an issue some owners experience, described as “ghosting” or screen artefacts.
My Nintendo News also notes that the panel is “most likely” produced by Sharp, based on the reported listing details. None of the articles provide official confirmation from Nintendo, and the information is presented as unverified and subject to change.
