You're right though, I've never used OLED screens for gaming, my monitor is an IPS screen as well and it's likely to stay that way

                        However it's not like you must have a OLED, my PC Monitor is a solid IPS which I enjoy just as much I do from my Vita it's OLED.

                          The only game I'm interested playing on the Switch is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe because it's been said to be the best Mario Kart game ever made. But Double Dash is good enough for me since I prefer the tag-team gameplay. Lost urge to play Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey. I have most of the other Zelda and Super Mario games already

                          I'm starting to see more and more Switch Lites go for $100 or less on OfferUp and I'm still not interested. Why pay $100 to play a few games? Always felt Nintendo handhelds were overrated and Sony handhelds were underrated but superior. I know Switch is a hybrid but I still look at more as a handheld.

                          Flip 3 with emulators for 12 different systems and PS Vita slim is all I ever need. Stick to emulators and never buy another console again. Save tons of money. Only problem is waiting 15-20 years to play them smoothly on a smartphone.

                                  I have a portable NES, Genesis, SNES, Jaguar, PS1, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, and GameCube with Game Boy, GBA, DS, and PSP games thrown in there. It's called a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and it also works as a smartphone and is way more compact than any Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck will ever be.

                                  Just another money grab selling the same tech over and over.

                                      This is kinda shocking, most of the feedback I've heard is that the OLED switch isn't worth buying unless you don't already have a regular switch. Plus I don't think OLED on a gaming console is a good idea tbh
