Why i HATE the Switch 2

Daniel expresses general disappointment with the Switch 2 after several days of use, observing minor upgrades over older hardware aside from marginally improved graphics and processing performance.

The Switch 2 hardware presents multiple drawbacks, including an LCD rather than OLED panel, glare exacerbated by low peak brightness, substantial physical weight, and rapid battery consumption during intensive titles like Cyberpunk.

Daniel finds the available library unappealing due to a shortage of compelling exclusives, an aversion to replaying older ports like Cyberpunk 2077, and awkward controls when using Joy-Cons.

Docked usage on an ultrawide monitor introduces visual stretching without native aspect ratio adjustments, fails to pass audio through built-in monitor speakers, and involves physical dock flaws such as awkward cable angles, wobbling, and a removable plastic cover.

Display quality of the Switch 2 compared with OLED models and other gaming systems.

Battery depletion differences between high-performance hardware and older Switch iterations.

Software library, exclusive releases, and ergonomics when utilizing Joy-Cons as mouse inputs.

Docking station design, port access, cable positioning, stability wobbles, and panel discoloration.

Display rendering conflicts and lack of sound output on ultrawide monitors in docked mode.

In-game combat and encounters resulting in vehicle damage.

Switch display configuration choices, including HDR, output resolution, RGB range, screen sizing, burn-in protection, HDMI-CEC TV power matching, and 120Hz refresh rate support.

The omission of ultrawide aspect ratio controls causing black bars or image stretching.

Integrated monitor audio failures and relying on external Bluetooth speakers.

Running console hardware through high-end computer monitors instead of dedicated televisions.

Daniel experiences frustration during gameplay when non-player characters damage his vehicle and resist elimination.

Daniel inspects the Switch display settings and discovers a lack of ultrawide or aspect ratio controls, leaving the image stretched or cropped on an ultrawide monitor.

The Switch fails to recognize the monitor's integrated speakers, leading to Bluetooth speakers being considered.

Modifying screen size settings causes the display to zoom in, forcing the HDMI cable to be unplugged and reconnected to reset the output.

The origin and material composition of the staining on the dock's plastic cover panel remain unidentified.

It is unconfirmed whether inserting the console into the dock causes scratches to the screen.

Daniel is unsure whether the current output resolution is set to 4K on a 4K display.

It is unknown whether other games offer ultrawide format or aspect ratio adjustments.

The reason the Switch fails to identify the integrated monitor speakers is unidentified.

Whether an individual can adapt to the distorted aspect ratio remains uncertain.

Daniel has not decided whether to buy external speakers for monitor gaming.
