Hi,
I'm rather new here. I received my Nintendo Switch yesterday and I am very pleased with the quality. However, I have noticed something that I can't find any information about online and it is possibly a design flaw in regards to the display.
First and foremost; this does not affect gameplay (and is very minor) and is not a pixel issue. I will not return my console because of this (EDIT: It now seems like that is needed. ), but I would like to inform you of the situation and want to know if someone else are affected.
Let me get to the issue. As you know, during play and in the dock, the console can get very hot. This heat affects the backlight of the display when taking it out of the dock. There appears either a light or dark shadowing effect at the edges of the screen in all directions (very faint and visible on dark and grey areas inside of the system menu and games). If you turn on the black theme it is very visible, indeed.
What makes me suspect this is heat-related is that if the console cools down and reheats outside of the dock, the shadowing goes away. I don't think it is due to air humidity, but I am not excluding that possibility.
What do you think? Does anyone else experience this issue? Do you think it really is a design flaw or a matter of air humidity or possibly something wrong with my device?
