@Pizzamorg I've had OLED devices for years and they've all been perfectly fine, except one of them got a permanent black spot due to a manufacturing defect rather than the OLED itself.
Then you are lucky, but your one personal account doesn't override all of the evidence contrary to your experience.
That's true, I won't argue against that. However, I think that the fact the you're so against OLED is interesting, since most issues with OLED is the fault of the users rather than the screen technology itself. Every screen technology has it's ups and downs, so you shouldn't just count one put just because of a few avoidable problems.

I fundamentally disagree with this. You can't blame the user for the limitations of OLED, that's ridiculous. And to call it "avoidable" is pretty laughable too, yeah I guess you never gotta worry about that burn in if you just never turn it on. But heaven forbid you try and use it for its intended purpose.
@Pizzamorg Burn-in is caused by the user NOT moving the screen for an extended amount of time (30-60 minutes). If you know not to do that, it almost certainly won't happen. So screen burn-in IS the users fault.
@Pizzamorg
How are you supposed to get burn-ins when the picture is constantly moving? That doesn't happen.
Only if you'd put your Switch in pause mode on a static screen for too long would you get burn-ins. And that's definitely on the user because on standard settings the Switch goes to sleep after 10 or 15 minutes of inactivity, which poses no risk whatsoever.
As I said in my original message, any static thing on the screen for extended periods has the risk of being burnt in. Especially if you use the TV at a high brightness. So things like HUD elements, maps etc all run this risk when playing games as depending on how long you play they have the risk of being burnt onto the screen.
At the end of the day it's your money to burn, no put intended, if you think it's worth the risk then power to you. But for me personally, I like using a TV where I can watch it with no concern that I might end up with burn in. Especially as adaptive backlighting on modern Sony LED TVs is really bridging the gap when it comes to the main benefit of an OLED (the blacks).
@Ralizah, sounds good. It wasn't the most revolutionary game or anything, but it was a fun time and the scale of the large boss fights were impressive.
I'd be even more excited by an Astral Chain sequel, though.

Switch - Blade Strangers

@JaxonH I really hope it arrives tomorrow. We need more arcade racers like this on the Switch, or just in general. Racers that resemble that of the 90s arcade scene. Sega should be all over this, but they are so beyond out of touch with their arcade IP.

Most of the things you listed are either moving constantly (maps), or disappear when your afk or aren't on the screen long enough to do much damage unless you're playing for over eight hours of gameplay (HUD and Maps).

I love the new new Bluetooth audio option, I had a dongle already, but this is just so much more convenient
It works perfectly with my regular AirPods, I just need to go to the menu to reconnect them when I want to use them, no need to re-pair them every time.
It would be awesome to have quick access to that menu though.
Glad you guys are enjoying the Bluetooth. If it makes some people happy then I am all for it as an option.
Personally I think the lag is unbearable and the audio quality is incredibly inadequate. Even tested my Arctis 9 Wireless out of curiosity and ya, the lag was noticeable. But, maybe some devices do better than others.

I pretty much only use my headphones with my Switch when I'm playing a rhythm games and the Bluetooth audio isn't viable for that due to the lag. Happy for the option to be there though.
@Eel
It just depends on what your reference is. There's some really bad wired earbuds out there. Some insanely good ones too though. But even the best, high end earbuds can't match headphones.
It's one of those things where, as long as you don't known what you're missing, you won't miss it (provided the lag is bearable, of course).
For years I used wireless and thought the same thing. Then one day I wondered, "is there something to all this talk of better audio? Or is it just fluff? I wanna find out for myself" and ordered a decent, entry level pair of wired open back over ear headphones from Sennheiser. And immediately was like... woah. It felt like original sin, when Adam suddenly realized he was naked. I suddenly realized the audio I thought was just as good, wasn't just as good. And then I thought, well, I wonder if more expensive headphones sound even better? And it led me down a very, VERY expensive rabbit hole. One I don't regret, but ya.
Suffice it to say, unless you actually listen to something far better, it'll sound fine. Ignorance can be bliss, after all.

I say what I need to say, whether it be 2 sentences or multiple paragraphs. Attacking an argument by focusing on the “length of a reply” is illogical and frankly, is evidence of you not really having anything substantial to add.
I don’t need to “convince myself”. I’m already convinced. If I wasn’t convinced I wouldn’t have bought an OLED TV, an OLED Switch, OLED phone and OLED tablet. I put my money where my mouth is. I don’t just say the concerns are negligible, I back it up by my actions. And you can always tell a person‘s true beliefs by their actions, not their words. My actions speak for themselves.
Nobody’s trying to convince you to go buy an OLED. I believe I already mentioned, if someone genuinely has concerns then they shouldn’t buy one. Say you’d rather not deal with the risk, however minor it may be, and move along. But you seem determined to convince the world OLED is some imminent risk to anyone who dares buy one, despite the fact tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of people are using them just fine every day.
