Taki, thank you for providing proper captions with your videos. It's an often overlooked accessibility feature, and I appreciate it because I personally like watching without sound sometimes. This also helps lots of people who have lesser hearing or issues with auditory processing. Very fascinating to see this little system output such resolutions, too.

Shit I literally thought Nintendo sent ninjas after you.

Someone modded 8GBs of RAM onto their Switch oled, and then unlocked the resolution in Zelda to 4k, it wasn't playable but it was still impressive it ran at all

The cat attacking the mouse was hilarious 😂

Upscaled psp looks so nice every time, I don't know what it is but it must be the high texture low poly combo that looks so good.

You deserve an Olympic gold medal for your hard work and dedication. Once again, great video Taki. Thank you.

Fun fact: the Tegra X1 was doing 4K before the Switch was released. It would have been interesting to see the Nvidia Shield thrown into your mix.

There was another YouTuber who made a 3D printed docked switch pro. That stayed in docked mode by removing the screen, added a Noctua fan and over clocked without unlocking. I think if you made that 3D printed case with cooling you might be able get a few more percents better on your testing.

A minimum of 1080p @ 60fps is still good for me.

The switch is gonna be amazing for modding in a couple years. Never really liked the switch but i bet I'm gonna own one once it becomes like a psp

[bodybody]

Still can't wait for the switch lite oled mod

[MrMegaManFan]

Only Taki would use a Switch to emulate a Switch (and that's why we love him).

[ETlandxoxo]

Love the level of nerdiness in Taki's videos

Someone should tag Digital Foundry. They need to see this

First time here and it's so cool how you play around and explore the limits of the devices! But I'm surprised how no one is talking about how good the games look on the projector. The picture is so crisp.

[Christopher]

Amazing! didn't expect Switch can connect to a projector, and I'm surprised the projector's display is so impressive.

[Handleneedsormorecharacters]

Never thought a projector could be an option for gaming, especially in 4K! The picture is just mind-blowing. must be awesome upgrade from the 6 inches screen to a projected screen

3:20 and this is where the Switch lite excels. While it cant clock as high as the v2/oled, the Oled has a NERF'D FAN ( Which no one ever talks about ) which has seen an abundance of switch HW being fried. The V1 switch OC numbers are also considered safe when applied to the switch lite, but can be a problem on other v1 HW.

the OLED Switch having more DP lanes connected together with the dock being more capable points very much at it actually being developed from the rumoured „Switch Pro“
