"If you're a Southern rapper from 2006 you're gonna be very interested in the grills"

I CAN'T 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Man with the cabinet lit up and his name behind him the visual looks really awesome, all that work ended in an amazing looking result 👏 👏

Went from early V1 Switch (bought in like September of 2017) to the OLED model. I play primarily handheld, and it is definitely worth the upgrade.

"You have not seen any OLED unboxing before"

Nintendo: 👁️👄👁️ I guess we don't count.

One great thing about OLED screens is that the response time is really good. What that means is how quick the pixels can change from one color to the next. So when you’re scrolling through the menus and stuff, you’ll see on the LCD that the scrolling isn’t very smooth, it might have a slight blur effect. Usually isn’t noticeable during games I think, but worth pointing out. It looks really nice

[sweeties]

I just want to say how much I appreciate your descriptions and exclamations of satisfaction when something snaps shut well, locks into place or clicks. I do agree! Your descriptions are very informative and tactile. It is greatly appreciated how your unboxings cover so much of the detail the designers put into their products!

"No one had it before today. no one."
as Austin looks to the right, there was a recommended video from Kevin Kenson unboxing the new switch a few days ago.

If I was currently in the market for a new Switch, I would go OLED. But IMO it's not enough to justify upgrading from my current one. 🤷

[thatstimming]

I'm so glad you mentioned the blue-green tint, mate. It was stressing me a little that I might have had a dodgy screen. But between you and Amok4All (whose test showed a lower red than green and blue values), it's reassured me that it's just a generally cooler-coloured display.

I really appreciate your attention-to-detail and forthright observations.

When Austin's comparing the cold & warm feels of the screens, what he's recognizing is the amount of bluelight the screens are emitting. It isn't just the sharper, more refined differences in the tech of the screens. The OLED has a much better passive bluelight filter than the V1 or V2 Switches do. Basically, you can stare at the OLED's screen for more time with less damage to your eyes than you can with a V1 or V2 Switch.

I LOVE YOUR BACKGROUND YOU DESERVE AN AWARD FOR THE BEST BACKGROUND!!!

[zeththedarkmage]

At least you got yours today. GameStop still hasn’t even shipped mine.

[IpodLapras]

I can’t wait for them to be in stock again. That screen comparison is amazing. I think I have a V1 switch so it’ll be a good upgrade!

[Dwayneff]

It took me 5 years to buy a switch because I was a firm Homebrew new 3ds xl user....and boy am i glad I did, the graphics had a major jump and that OLED screen, my lord I play mostly in handheld mode and sometimes in docked mode. Was it worth it? Defininetly, Breath of the wild is the best game I've ever played.

[Gogo]

Literally clicked off the zarude vid for this. You weren’t kidding

[militantpacifist]

I’ll just wait around four or five years for an actual next gen Nintendo console since my current Switch still works fine.

[thebatman]

Definitely the best unboxing OLED switch video I've ever seen also the only one. I actually may buy an OLED eventually when it's more in stock places the color on it looks really nice.

[imarg]

8:13 if you're wondering, this is the auto-brightness thing

[ReaperessRogue]

I’m finally able to buy my OLED on my next payday. I’m so excited! The weak feeling joycons on the side reli bothers me. I’m glad they made it feel more quality like.
