StarTopic The Switch OLED Model |ST| The Switch O-Thread

I was able to order one online (woo!), but now I’m torn in whether or not to buy a screen protector. It took me like three hours to properly get one on my Animal Crossing Switch, and I’m already dreading going through that again.

So basically I’m looking for someone to talk me out of it

I had a screen protector on my V1 and V2 Switch as well as my Lite. Not doing it this time with the OLED. I gave it a shot applying one but it was more trouble than it’s worth. The glass screen is more durable and hasn’t been scratched by the dock like my previous Switch models. But that’s just me

I would say get one and have a friend or family member do it for you. IMO, it's always important to protect the screen the best we can

If it took me so long to do it on my last Switch (as I was being as perfectionist as possible), I'm not sure why anyone in my social circle would be able to do it better. But it's that dang perfectionism that's causing all the issues in the first place!

Really none of my various handheld screens have accumulated any scratches over the years—screen protector or no. It's just the paranoid neurotic side of my brain screaming at me to apply one JUST IN CASE even though the rest of my mind is trying to talk me out of it (mostly due to laziness).

Decision time... I didn't put a protector on my first Switch, but I did on my second. I won't put a protector on my OLED, but will on the Pro.

Problem solved!

Now to fantasize about that sensually nekkid screen until I'm able to finally get my hands on it

The problematic part is the anti-shattering layer on top of the glass of the OLED model. It might be weaker than glass an could be scratched by the dock. If the top layer was glass ai would also keep it without a protector.

I canceled my pre-order for this with all the talks about the 4K Switch news.

But I can't help but think of all the dopamine and excitement I would have right now playing with a fancy oled switch. Can i live through someone's else's happiness? Someone share me the giddy and joy you are feeling with your OLED Switch.

Well, I was really hesitant about buying one, the reason for that is I think we will get a pro or switch 2 in the near future.
I have a day one model and it is working fine.
But when people in the US started sharing glowing impressions It was very hard for me to hold the urge to get one and I started to call every store in Brazil to see if they had it. The thing is the OLED will only launch here officially next year, and hearing how hard it was for folks in the US to secure one, I thought no store at all would succeed importing here. Boy I was wrong. In 6 days after the launch day some stores had a lot of units, in both white and neon colors. So I caved, and payed the equivalent of 720 US for the white one.
Just have to say it took maybe 2 days to redownload my games (I have a 400 gb sd and close to 600 digital games) but now I can’t stop playing it. The screen is so much better, not only the small size increase makes a big difference, but the colors are beautiful and the blacks so pure that I knew the moment I turned it on, that my decision to buy one was thankfully right.
I have been playing metroid and having a blast! But I also tried hollow knight, octopath, paper Mario and they all look beautiful. Also, the battery life is much better in comparison for me.
If you ever feel like you need one, I would just say buy it and you probably won’t regret it!

* this is my first post here!

I sent my OLED to my brother and I asked him to check if it was working. He turn the console on and it worked then I asked him to turn it off.

The thing is that he said that when he hold the power button the menu did not come up but he assures me the device is turned off. Can anyone confirm if the menu does not come up if the Switch was not configured at all?

Did anyone here who has a switch lite as their primary transfer data from their secondary switch to the oled? Wanna know if I should be careful with anything or should keep note of something while transfering.
