I've never heard of that before. that doesn't look normal. it almost sounds like a shielding issue though, but that's coming from someone who has never opened a switch and looked about. however, if something isn't shielded properly, I think it can cause tint issues.

well, those consoles usually have shielding in them to avoid interference. I don't know if that's what's happening here. I would contact the person you got it from. no way I'd accept that, because there could be other things wrong with it.

I kind of like it not to lie. But I would probably bring it back and swap it.

EDIT: Oh it's modded. Well enjoy a bit of a yellowish screen!

Mariko switches (Switches that come in red box) and switch lites have a revised screen that has warmer colors. Its normal and the only way to change it (theoretically) is to buy a screen from earlier switch models and swap it out, but I dont know if that would work.

aww man I wish my switch came with a screen like that, it's like a built-in blue light filter

but jokes aside it's part of quality control, it's the same reason why DS screens would have 2 different color temperatures when you buy them, it just boils down to the color temperature not being calculated very precisely by the factory that makes the displays, and things like this are still within the "shippable product" category. If this was a problem with signal interference there would be wayyy more problems with the display than just a yellow tint

is it because of the sx core's welding issue???

unknown. isn't the animal crossing switch a Mariko system? that's what I have. I only use black, but when I got the system, I don't remember it having a yellowing effect. mine is legit though, so I guess it's possible the modchip has messed something up.

I'm currently downloading my games to my older switch, but the animal crossing one is on my bed. here's what white looks like:

I know just enough to verify and compress/convert games, but not much else. I don't know if that's the cause, but I'd definitely consult the person you bought the system from and/or modchip.

I just turned off the blue light filter on my computer, and there definitely are not any problems with your screen caused by the modchip. That's just how the screen looked when it came out of the factory, the yellowness is indiscernible unless you were to compare it with a white sheet of paper.

That is normal on newer switches, they use a different display. There is a homebrew called Fizeau to adjust display color temperature. I do not know if it is compatible with your switch though.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
