Not always. Every single pair of Joy-Con (four total) have had signal problems day one.
Every individual Joy-Con has at least been returned or repaired.
Because some have had this multiple times, the failure rate of Joy-Con I have experienced is over 100%.

Downgraded from what?
How can you downgrade something we know nothing about.
Also, those are really dumb speculation specs.
DLSS 2 is a dead give away they don't know anything.

Reveal in March
Release in May-June
However some interesting comments from Nintendo France CEO emerged recently and made me think Nintendo probably didn't expect the Switch to last this long and are milking it to the max

It will be interesting to see how Nintendo transitions to next generation this time. This is the first time this leadership will be launching a new generation. It's tough to tell how much a focus Switch 1 will be. I could see anything from full cross gen to very minimal support. We will just have to see.

The only really credible „tech YouTuber‘s“ are MVG and Digital Foundry (or Nate, if he counts) everyone else isn‘t knowledgeable (in relation to Nintendo).

Steam Deck LCD at $399 gets you:
- 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM
- 256GB Internal Storage
- 1.7 TFLOPS
- Steam online system, which is far more functional than NSO.

Probably because the last two times Nintendo sat on their more successful hardware too long it led to the 3DS, which heavily underperformed Nintendo’s expectations, and the WiiU, which was such a disaster that Nintendo fairly quickly shifted all their development studios away from it.

I mean just take a look at most of Switch 2 discussion in general. BC anyone? Nintendo gonna restart NSO? We can’t rely what they have done on the past even though I’ll talk about the past.
The WiiU could’ve come out sooner & still crater. Nothing about that system was gonna do well short of being another type of system entirely.
The issues w/3DS have more to do with price, underwhelming gimmick, & letting non-existent 3rd parties take the stage. Also existing in a fully mobile world where it offered nothing really different. Once Nintendo games came out it did relatively well all things considered.
People place far too much importance on Nintendo sitting on success .

It was similar with the Switch and that continued until it launched and everyone played BOTW. There's a staggering disconnect between message boards and content creators (both of whom pivoted from "these specs = DoA" to "these specs = never play X game" and finally "Steam Deck specs = rip Switch") and the broader games buying public. The first two groups can be relentlessly negative and are often wrong.

These gimmicks are things Nintendo sell to 1 software alone. Things isolate. But if Nintendo want something to be mainstream on their next console, and support multiples titles, its better they put it inside the box, day one for everyone be capable to use it.
For exemple, Nintendo can use a bigger horizontal resolution on portable screen and transform the dock in a dock/headset for a VR out of the box. That way every Switch 2 user can be a potential buyer in VR games.
Things like that can make a lot more success if they come with the machine than if you need to buy in separate.

This entire argument kinda hinges on Nintendo going for an LCD as cheap as the launch Switch's. I'm not convinced they would (and even then, I believe similarly priced LCDs have advanced in the last 7 years).
Regarding nothing matching the contrast, blacks, or vibrancy of an OLED, that's objectively true, but also doing a disservice to how far LCDs have come. Modern LCDs can get absurdly bright, and quantum dots have done wonders for vibrancy. Local dimming is also at a point where blacks are closer to OLED than LCDs from 5+ years ago unless you're in a pitch black room; the contrast is excellent. At this stage, if the price of an OLED set is enough to give someone pause, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a QLED or similar with sufficient local dimming; most people would barely notice a difference. And that's while being significantly brighter, greatly raising performance in a well-lit room (or being able to accurately portray particularly bright HDR scenes, though they're kinda rare).
Of course, this is more true of TV land than mobile displays; OLED was cheap enough to be mainstream in phones years ago, whereas larger OLED panels are still expensive enough for there to be opportunity in the mid-range for TVs. Combine that with power disadvantages in advanced LCD tech, and mobile LCDs with all the bells and whistles just don't really exist as there hasn't been much market for them; AFAIK, the smallest commercial panel with a quantum dot film is 10". Still, they're better than they used to be.
I don't know what to expect from an LCD from Nintendo in 2024, to be honest. But I'm not convinced it'd definitely be very disappointing compared to an OLED. I would like to be able to have a decent screen out in the sun, and an LCD is a better candidate for achieving that without an extravagantly expensive display (not to mention direct sunlight degrades OLEDs under use).
TL;DR this is largely a nothing reply, but I personally wouldn't look at LCD vs. OLED so absolutely.
I find it's game-dependent. Some scenes in Metroid Dread kinda stink at a glance on my OLED model I got the same day. That said, the game still looks better overall on the OLED than the 2017 LCD lol.

Theoretically, Nintendo and Nvidia could have decided to disable 2 SMs, which results in 10 SMs being usable.
But saying that, there's no reliable indication that's the case with T239 on Nintendo's new hardware.
