The Nintendo Switch 2 screen could be getting a revision, based on the latest evidence.
On a Chinese resale site, a listing recently appeared for a a new model of the system’s LCD panel. Sharp would apparently behind the updated screen.
The current Nintendo Switch 2 features a panel from Innolux. This new screen has a different circuit, connector, and cables. Everything here points to an updated redesign as opposed to a small revision.
The new screen has the model number is LS079T1SX10P. Nintendo Patents Watch deduced the following details from that:
LS = Sharp LTPS079 = 7.9”T = 1080p
Sharp previously said in a financial report that its Hakusan plant “expanded sales for mobile […] applications” from September 2025 onward.
When Nintendo revealed Switch 2, some were disappointed to see that it would be using an LCD panel. We had previously received the Nintendo Switch with an OLED screen, so in a way it felt like a step backwards. Nintendo previously explained why it went with an LCD panel for Nintendo Switch 2, which you can find here.
The Nintendo Switch 2 screen has also received some criticism for its slow response times. This can lead to things such as fast camera pans looking a bit blurry.
One benefit that Nintendo Switch 2 has in handheld mode is its boosted resolution. It maxes out at 1080p, compared to 720p on Nintendo Switch.
Although what’s been uncovered today is interesting, Nintendo has yet to make any official announcements.
