I love the vivid setting, but it would be nice to have a scroller on it like brightness to adjust how much 'vividness' is applied on screen.
completely agree, idk if its an unpopular opinion but i love saturated colours and strong contrast even though its not exactly "accurate" a slider would be great
@@chrome_ is it unpopular opinion? Good question... 🤔
I feel the vivid settings compliment games graphics amazingly.. but I guess maybe game depending..?..
People in the 50s would slap us for moaning about how a colour handheld device is being too colourful 😂
@@alecpercy91 idk I feel like there's a lot of purists that would roll their eyes at liking it. I think the style looks great especially on an oled screen.
@@chrome_ yeah very true mate, but I'm agreeing with you I'm all for oled vivid
Proper way for vivid implementation is for game developers to set exactly how game should look under vivid setting. From product standpoint, it’s kind of stupid to let end customers decide whether to potentially oversaturate colors of some game. End users should never have to deal with this issue in the first place.
As a professional photographer the vivid mode was WAY too much. It's like over saturation and over contrast to make things look "good". It's the equivalent of turning up the volume and saying it "sounds better"
@@thomashughes4326 I think a better analogy is that making the screen more ‘vivid’ is like boosting the bass/treble, making it sound “better” but not really.
Vivis is way over the top. I disabled this after some testing. Same on my Samsung phone too.
Louder often does sound better tho. And I personally tend to greatly appreciate over-saturated colors, but it's nice to know what the two options are.
I disagree. With the saturation part. I think the default/regular switch colors look so bland and flat. I guess I could be used to more saturation from my TV, but I keep that at a minimum, I just like the enhanced colors. Everything just pops and is much more nice to look at. Is it more accurate? Maybe not, but most of these games (the ones I play) aren’t meant to be realistic.
With the sound thing, yes, I hate it when people equate loudness to better sounding. Most of the time it’s the opposite, it sounds worse when it’s louder
You should know what Vivid means if you are a photographer lol
Here's a little tip for if you turn off auto brightness, there's a built-in feature that dims the screen after 5 minutes (Both Docked and Handheld/Tabletop), so this can reduce the risk of your screen from burn-in. This feature can be disabled in TV Output in System Settings, but it's advised to keep it on if you have Automatic Brightness off.
The thumbnail just informed me that there is a sequel to Toree 3D, and I appreciate that.
The brightness issue was bothering me since I got my new Switch OLED but I couldn't find anybody else complaining about it on youtube or twitter or anywhere else until I found this video. This video also addressed an issue that I couldn't quite identify which was the 'too vivid' screen. I set it back to Standard and it looks much nicer now. Thanks for this video. Very helpful.
This was exactly me too. "Why isn't it bright", "the colour is too intense!". I play a lot of Splatoon, vivid was way too much.
Oh god vivid splatoon sounds blinding…
Splatoon wasn't so bad to me, but holy shit Smash is very vivid.
Splatoon 2 was fine I played the intro as max brightness with vivid mode
@@the_legendary_fire yeah the city area looks fine to me, but in a match it starts to lose its cohesive look. Animal crossing was the same. It's going to be a personal thing
@@JonGPxl ah that makes sense now thanks for clarifying
I think for more "realistic" games that need less contrasty colors then standard is probably better, but for more colorful games and content consumption then vivid is my go to with maybe turning the brightness down a bit
Honestly after playing Metroid Dread for a few hours with the Vivid setting on, I don’t think I can ever go back lol.
Played hades from old to new oled ia superb color omg
Depends on the game for me. Stardew Valley with vivid looks bad
I think the best thing is they actually give you an option to toggle vivid and standard.
Cinephiles like myself are gonna barf playing on vivid, and I would’ve returned the switch if that were the case.
But the fact of the matter is, most of the population will prefer the vivid setting. Which is why it’s on by default
Thank you! This is a lifesaver. I did find that the Switch OLED colors were pretty weird straight out of the box and thought that's just how the OLED is.
I really hope the vivid option is actually pulling extra color information instead of just over saturating the image, If it really is just some filter or crap then shame on Nintendo for not including proper HDR
The games don't support HDR and its unlikely the screen does either, its just an over-saturation mode. Samsung phones also do this, although the modern ones at least do support real HDR too.
I got the oled and can confirm that it is just over saturating the image. At least you can turn it off and the colors still look much nicer on standard than on the old switch. The laminated screen also makes a huge difference in terms of clarity.
it's just an oversaturation mode. a lot of the side-by-side comparison videos have been absolutely fucking dishonest
they'll take a standard LCD switch which has no "Vivid - a.k.a oversaturated mode", and put it beside an OLED switch in "vivid - oversaturated mode"
and they will say the most fucking retarded things like "omg the colors really pop".... like no shit bruh it pops because you artificially oversaturated them it's not even a fair comparison.
It needs to be standard LCD switch beside the OLED switch in STANDARD mode. only then can you say it's a fair comparison that shows off the OLED technology with better contrast and black levels.
But yeah Nintendo really succeeded in fooling the masses with this one.
I'm still amused ppl assume tht switching to Standard color's means it turns off OLEDs better color reproduction. Ppl....it doesnt. The colors are still better, just not over-saturated and unnatural like Vivid is. If any of yall hav ever had tht color setting in ur monitor's and tv's b4, its essentially the same function.
@Geo M yes
Same with phones particularly Samsung, always switch it back to standard as photos look really weird otherwise.
I think it's situational. For very colorful games like Monster Hunter Stories 2 and Hyrule Warriors, turning off Vivid was much needed as it made the game look super oversaturated .
Try playing Mario 64 as an example on the Switch OLED with Vivid enabled, the colors are so extreme on max brightness that it literally hurts my eyes. I prefer standard because you can actually see more details and it's color accurate compared to the oversaturated vivid mode.
You don’t suppose to be blasting full brightness unless you are outside lol
The vividness option has nothing to do with contrast. Its literally just oversaturating the colors. Non thinking customers usually prefer the look because "Da Red is more Redder and Da blues are more blue" so colors pop and are vibrant. But the "standard" mode is the picture accurate mode. Switching to standard is good advice as it automatically switches to standard upon being docked anyways and provides the most accurate image. Imagine being a nintendo mastering director. And making a game look exactly how you want and how its supposed to look. And then when people play it it looks like a neon barf because they like the setting with wrong colors. I think vivid is set by default too which absolutely baffles me. I was so relieved when i turned it off. Felt like normal again.
auto brightness mode with standard/natural colors is still dimmer than LCD but much better contrast.
Vivid is the display with unmanaged colors stretched to the native gamut of the display. That’s why it looks like crap. Use Standard mode instead and your eyeballs will thank you.
Don’t turn off Auto-Brightness, as you’ll greatly increase the risk of burn-in.
Gamestop had 4 OLED left on the shelf, and if you are a Pro member, they are giving you $260.00 for your old Switch. So, so tempting to get the new shiny one.
It doesn't do anything new though. I mean, you can experience burn-in, so that's new.
@@technologyanimals well the screen is slightly larger and it’s OLED so it is a nicer picture. Has more storage built in. Better speakers. Better kickstand. New warranty again. For $90 it may be worth it IMO.
@@technologyanimals wise guy eh? well what are you doing on this video then 🧐
@@technologyanimals still own an OG OLED vita still no burn in.
what about your digital games? can you transfer 'em?
Turning off auto brightness does that on the og switch too! :D
It reminds of when you go to someone elses house and they have the TV set to the default vivid setting with and motion plus set to the max - it just looks weird
Love how it has those features, like you can turn brightness up if you out doors playing it, but honestly i wont touch that setting, bright enough for my etes. The vivid and standard is a good one too. Can choose what you like. I like my colours popping. Have both my screens on my pc set to 80% sat. Certain games it helps. Like if you play lol, fortnite, cod or what ever, but it’s great that you aren’t locked into those modes.
Playing without vivid is crazy! I don't think I could ever go back to normal mode.
I think it's going to be something I change per game. Already vivid games look better on standard to my eyes...so most Nintendo first party.
Many people prefer their TV colors in the bluer range, but real life, movie theaters, professional color grading monitors are warmer.
Personally I’m not interested in which looks immediately “better,” but which displays the game as the developers intended - the actual, specific colors they selected. I suspect that this would be standard.
Vivid is unnatural looking,it hurts my eyes.
What’s the game in the background? It looks like Toree 3D, but I don’t remember that level in the game. Was there a sequel?
EDIT: I just looked it up and the sequel released. It’s only $1.19 too-instant purchase.
Yea It’s great I put in a decent amount of Time in the first one for only 1$ And I’m sure I’ll put in another few Hrs in the second game so I’ll buy all the sequels especially with Gold Points (Got 60 from MD physical)
@@ultimatebreak827 I’m enjoying Toree 2 so far. I’ve unlocked 3/4 characters so far, but I’m not sure if I can finish them fast enough for the last.
@@psd_seth wow.. I’ve only played to levels I’m not a complesionist unless it comes to Mario So I doubt I’ll unlock all characters but It has been Fun so far (Metroid Dread Is a 1000x better though and this is coming from a new Metroid Fan)
What kind of sick person has vivid colour schemes on? First thing to turn off on any new device, OLED or not. It's disgusting
Its even worse on phones, how are you supposed to know if you are taking a decent photo if the contrast is all messed up.
I kind of disagree, games like Breath of the Wild are way too flat in color, and is so bland. Sure, that’s what they intended, but it’s just too bland imo. And games like Mario kart, the colorful rainbow road looks so much more colorful and nice
Seems that Nintendo must have noticed this potential issue as well & thus added this feature. Glad they are a company that thoroughly tests things. Which is why it's so surprising to me that they didn't also add some extra Burn-In protections for the OLED model, such as perhaps a screen saver option or just a simple screen shut-off option after some inactivity time.
The only way the screen shuts off on the Switch is if it goes to sleep which is kind of strange as most devices have it to where just the screen itself can be shut off. Very strange indeed, & makes you wonder if this particular OLED panel is perhaps highly resistant to Burn-In. Am sure we will get more reports on this several months down the road as users have had a chance to have more time with it.
I just got an OLED the other day and can confirm it has a built in screen saver, saw it kick on when I was at the home screen waiting on a download
@@Joe_Rebel the screen dims, thats about it. It most definitely doesn't have a screen saver.
This is being blown out of proportion. Unless you spend a good 3-5 hours with a static image, which is practically impossible on switch unless you turn off every feature preventing this circumstance, you’ll be fine. OLED tech has come quite a ways from the days when burn in was common and easy to do mistakenly. Keep in mind simply the added features to prevent it should be enough. Don’t turn them off.
Will be ruined within 2 years 😀
I feel this is highlighted lately with Linus Tech Tips doing a feature on his TV getting burn-in. What people need to understand is he was using it as a monitor for long periods, which is not what OLED TVs are designed for. I use mine a lot for the same game and haven't noticed the HUD burnt in yet despite also using HDR all the time and its approaching three years old.
its actually possible. games with HUDs are basically static images which you can easily play for more than 3 hours straight. Considering how nintendo prefer using old version of techs to save a buck there is a high chance the OLED screen is not the new one were it has anti burn in features.
Having the screen on full brightness with vivid mode is so beautiful but risky getting burn in. But I guess as long as there motion on the screen shouldn’t burn in. If I have to leave the switch alone for a awhile I just put it on standby
I was surprised one of my local gamestops had 12 OLEDs still at 4pm. Good luck everyone!
They’re. Sold. Out. Everywhere.
@@TheAmazingRaptor yea unfortunately
@@TheAmazingRaptor Oh well. I'll just wait a bit then...
@@mcnalga still sold out within a 50 mile radius :(
@@TheAmazingRaptor check with them in-store. In my local stores the new OLED systems were not listed online, so it showed none available when I checked online before stopping by the store.
I thought the auto brightness setting is terrible. Muddy and washed out. Why that's the default is beyond me. Burn in on a tiny device that has a short battery life is a non-issue.
On another note thanks for bringing Toree to my attention, that little game looks cool! And it's cheap I heard only a buck!
Has anyone noticed a grainy-ness if you looked at the gray background on the home menu?
For me it’s in game and the home menu ….
Vivid works best in darker games, but in the OS itself it's not that good. Especially the eShop looks bad in Vivid mode. However enabling the Dark mode improves it, and most games do look better.
Darker games that were made to look dull, gritty, and spooky can now look cartoonish and lose its atmospheric effect?
Sounds good to me. 😂
Never have liked vivid. Really wish I could choose warm 2 or 3
Here’s some info for the uninformed: OLED colours are actually (in a weird way) very slightly LESS ‘vivid’ than LED colours.
If you took the exact same image and placed it on both a calibrated LED and calibrated OLED screen and compared the two side-by-side, you would notice how the OLED looks very slightly less ‘vivid’ than the LED, but the OLED image has much deeper contrast and the colours themselves look a lot more ‘natural’, for lack of a better term. I don’t know the technical reason behind it but that’s how it is.
The jump from LED to OLED (without any changes to the image) isn’t actually really THAT drastic. But once your eyes adapt to the natural colours and deep contrast of an OLED, you can never go back.
I think biggest issue is the green tint in grey when you turn brightness down. Even in the menue
I don't have that on mines
Vivid is like the equivalent of bumping up your color setting on an LG OLED wayyyy past 50, close to 100. Vincent would be upset.
I have a Vizio tv, I have my color setting at about 70-75, depending on the console. The switch vivid mode comes close to it but not quite as colorful. So 100 on the tv will look ridiculously over saturated
Honestly the vivid setting is what makes the oled screen look so good! Same applies for oled tvs nice deep contrast with great black levels.
Thank you finally someone I can agree with, higher contrast makes every image look sharp and crisp, and that mixed with the darkness of the black makes everything so nice to look at on the oled, it's like the difference between bread and toast, bread is soft and light while toast in darker and crisper
@@basherblast Exactly 💯 after owning a oled tv everything I play and watch on it is just amazing!! I could never go back to anything other than oled lol have a good one!
Overstauration kills small details.
@@whatfoo661 It depends on the game. I prefer accuracy. But there are some games that look much better with a more vivid picture
@@JJaqn05 Agree man if you like playing horror games or dark games oled just makes the immersion so much better!
Vivid all the way. Give me them colors!
It’s blinding with auto brightness off, I actually prefer auto brightness turned on 😁
Standard is more accurate,vivid is grossly oversaturated.
Vivid mode has never looked good on any display EVER. Can’t believe Nintendo set it as the default setting.
I've been loving mine, beautiful display
With both of my Switches next to each other, the OLED screen looks super blue and it’s driving me NUTS.
that brightness is because oled is ment for tv's and those oled tv's most of the sime have light coming from the back of the screen instead of lcd screens that need thicker screens because they have a back light instead
I've just bought an OLED Switch today. Beautiful machine it is! :)
I love how every one complains about burn in and acts like these companies haven’t figured out how to make an oled screen yet
If you see woods channel you will realize that burn in is barely to not a problem at all
on dark theme i can see the pixels on the dark background and it's slightly green. doesn't look good, is this normal?
Same here man .. I think it’s just the cheap panels Nintendo used for the OLED
Edit: I’m on switch #2 and both had it
Running my OLED in standard not vivid, its seems more colour accurate to me in standard. Then again I do a lot of TH-cam on my Switch, The PSP also had this option and I also disabled that back in the day. Always use auto brightness. Did on mt older Switch
Is there something wrong with the white theme? I've heard multiple people complain about it recently.
I noticed the crazy contrast on my coworkers switch immediately after picking it up and didn’t enjoy the way it looked. I managed to score an OLED switch from Best Buy yesterday(my first switch ever) so I’ll be sure to turn the contrast down once I pick mine up
You just got caught up in the hype.
The Oled model is technically not as bright as the old model, it has a lower amount of Nits 🤷🏻♂️
Not this Nit shite again , It is brighter than my srandered switch , my problem is YELLOW SCREEN
That was according to later models, its actually comparable to the launch model only with much better contrast which makes it appear brighter to the eyes. Personally, I've never had an issue with the screen on the launch model, its night/day better than some of the garbage Nintendo used on their older consoles.
It really helps, I found the same problems when first opening my new OLED
THANK YOU! I hated how overly saturated the colors looked 😭 I get headaches from look at it
Why is no one talking about how the screen looks almost yellow until you tilt it and it turns perfect white??
Only me?..
Ive noticed it, only very slight on mine.
It could just be the laminating glue inside the screen, sometimes it takes 50-100 hours to fully go, crank the brightness to full and put a full white screen up for a few minutes each day.
It should start to look correct when viewing straight on. 👍
If its really yellow then you could go for a replacement.
No I have it too. I’m actually consider to returning it and get a new one
@@thekiddie73 Thanks a bunch!!
I don’t see it ?
What do your prefer vivid or standard?
Dude hopefully this works for me, just bought a switch 12 days ago and I absolutely love it. Although i love it i just can’t seem to be right about the screen being that dimmed.
"Nintendo Switch OH ELL EEE DEE"
Who tf says it like that? Lmao
I honestly love the way it looks
Nintendo really likes to troll us
100x this! Also THANK YOU... for calling it "Nintendo Switch Oh-El-Eh-De" and not say it as "ohhh-led".
Since without the "O" it is still pronounced "el-eh-de" and NOT "led"!!!
Oh-led is easier to say
I had a feeling people would have this issue.
Auto -Brightness and low battery, probably why.
Alright the reason why it's an oled and they made it for vivid looking image and alot I Mena alot of consumers like that including myself lol and I prefer a dimmer oled contrast image anyway of the week lol
This is the way I look at it games aren't real so no need for strict accuracy let's liven it up ans make it awesomely colorful haha
Why would we worry you won't use the dark theme.
Sometimes I can see flickering in the screen is it just me? Specially when I take my eyes over the switch.
"The screen isn't bright enough... Oh good I fixed it. Now the screen is to bright... Oh good I fixed it."
I love the vivid colors honestly. Splatoon 2 and animal crossing looks amazing on the system 🤩
Yes my Switch OLED looks very weird. It’s sitting in Walmart’s warehouse with now ETA for delivery….
did yall really make a video for the auto-brightness feature
Let’s just say that Zion is not the sharpest tool in the shed...
DREAD IS AMAZING!
Tue burn in thing is likely exagsrratted. Modern OLED screens are much improved compared to a few years ago.
What. Now we are dealing with screen drift.
It was so bright so I returned it for a regular Switch 😜
Bruh
The burn in is pretty disappointing, makes me scared to turn the auto brightness off
Thank you so much omg I was worried the screen was just bad
Mine was pre set auto brightness on and pre set with vivid on.
That is the case for every switch oled
leave the autobrightness of and turn it like to 75%....and everything will be fine
Main Switch has auto brightness as well.. but i see no difference between standard and vivid.. atleast not with the homescreen (dark theme) and Shining Pearl anyhow.
So to avoid green tint issue I change the color mode to standard ?
Yep
Mine didn’t have that problem at all that’s weird. Mine is vivid and looks amazing there. Not sure what’s going on with some switches then
Disappointed with my switch OLED I've not seen a worse OLED screen in my life Nintendo are cheap bums I still have an old Samsung galaxy S4 and the screen absolutely blows Nintendo away
How can anyone have a Nintendo Switch and not know about the auto brightness toggle?
Real fix, buy an OLED TV instead.
so uh like my old switch broke(which sucks actual ass) and so i got the oled cause it was a good opt cause the oled>>>> but when its on like dark grey/black colours its kinda like grainy and idfk how to fix that cause the standard / vivid thing doesnt work and the brightness thing im not gonna do cause i always have low brightness for battery stuff so idk :/
I feel like peoples general switch hype as far as TH-cam, and how big it's gotten certain channels, they will be unreasonably excited immediately no matter what.
Maybe not on purpose, but yeah. It seems very obvious. Like people going nuts about the kickstand...like yeah, it's better... But it's a better kickstand. Let's be real, this is 50 more dollars than the switch was at launch years and years ago.
I'd definitely consider buying it for the bigger screen if it wasn't MORE expensive than my current switch was. Paying the same amount for an upgrade in screen size and general quality, sure. The tech otherwise is so so so dated. They can't even run there own games at 30fps 720p anymore. Hyrule warriors runs at 20fps or less.
if you have an og v1 switch, they ran hot and would thermal throttle often when hitting max target temps. there has been reputable tech journalists documenting this like (Gamers Nexus), v2 and oled have a revised CPU/GPU AIO chip that runs cooler and throttles less. so essentially doing what you can to keep it cool will result in better frame times, one fix is applying new thermal paste since the factory v1 paste is like clay.
Here's the fix: Use the system settings.
I thought this was common sense...
Mine got a stuck pixel in less than 10 minutes of gameplay.
I returned it.
Vivid pops but it isn't accurate like standard is and standard is more easy on the eyes.
I use auto brightness on my OLED. It dims the screen to prevent burn in. On issues here.
I don't have one, but I got kicked out of the first upload right in the middle of it
No!
Love the $0.99 game showcase.
Surely it's pronounced "OLED", not "OLED"... as in, I say "Oh-led".
Let me guess without watching the video….auto brightness?
Edit: knew it
Weird because it it’s bigger than normal ?
Idk what he’s complaining about i actually like the oled better then the original switch
No because Amazon doesn't deliver on weekends
Hey hey my name is also Zion
