OLED Switch Lite display kits to go on sale September 26th

oled.jpg

The little brother to Nintendo’s flagship hardware, the Switch Lite released in 2019 to positive reviews. With all the power of the full-sized console at a lower cost, along with integrated controls and a traditional D-Pad, the system positioned itself as a perfect fit for those wanting to travel light. This portability came at a price though, with the system unable to dock for a full console experience. Nintendo went onto release the OLED Switch two years later, leaving some fans of the smaller form factor hoping their system of choice might be graced with such an upgrade. No such revision came, but fans of the Lite may yet be in luck.


Teased earlier this year by YouTuber Taki Udon, SUPER5 is an OLED display kit for the Switch Lite. Starting at just $49.99 for those of you not needing touch input, it promises to deliver on a simple to install OLED display for the portable system, with peak brightness, sRGB coverage, and contrast ratio set to beat out the official Switch OLED. This alone would be noteworthy, but for those happy to spend a little extra, 1080p HDMI output is also on the cards.


You can find the full list of available kits below:
Each of the upgrade kits are set to go on sale September 26th at 10am Hong Kong time. Promo coupons will be available for the first two days to reduce the price by $5 to $10, though there’s no word on exactly how many kits will be available. An installation guide will also go live later this week to assist potential buyers.

I think the tutorial I watched said vivid is default. Check out Taki Udon's channel though and make sure.

waiting for the gold to be available for my hyrule version,

btw i sent the video to a modder that i know, and he told me to be very careful with the installation that you could easily break that small cable , he told me dont be deceived/fooled , that the process isn't as easy as it seems..

i think swappin this screen isn't somthn clumsy ppl should attempt or ppl with shaky hands

I saw a few messages of people saying they'd be interested in a version of this for non-OLED normal Switches. Taki Udon has confirmed today that a SUPER7 model is in the works, and is significantly brighter than the official panel (1200 nits vs 340). An IPS version also seems to be happening.
