Nintendo may be preparing the first major hardware change for the Switch 2. A new LCD panel has been spotted online that, according to available information, differs from the display used in current units of the console. A leak suggests that Sharp, not the previous supplier, is responsible for its production. Although Nintendo has not confirmed any changes, the new information has generated considerable interest among players. That's because the screen was one of the most frequently criticized elements of the Switch 2.
Leak points to a brand-new Sharp LCD
New information comes from a Chinese sales website, where a listing appeared showing a previously unknown LCD panel intended for Nintendo Switch 2. According to an analysis of the model number, it appears to be a display manufactured by Sharp, which could replace the current screen supplier, Innolux. The new panel has different cabling, connectors and electronics, which suggests a more extensive upgrade than a simple manufacturing change. The model number LS079T1SX10P indicates the use of LTPS LCD technology, a 7.9-inch diagonal and 1080p resolution. Another argument supporting the leak’s authenticity is an earlier Sharp financial report in which the company said it would increase production of mobile device displays starting at the end of 2025. It’s not known, however, whether the panel will appear in new Switch 2 units this year or only in a future hardware revision. Nintendo has not commented on the reports. For now, everything remains unofficial. The leak itself, however, appears detailed enough to have generated significant interest among the community.
Nintendo could address the biggest criticism of the Switch 2
One of the most discussed topics after the Nintendo Switch 2 launch was its use of an LCD display. Many players expected an OLED panel, especially since the previous generation even had an OLED version. Nintendo, however, decided to stick with an LCD, citing technological development and the capabilities of modern panels. Despite the higher 1080p resolution, the screen was criticized for, among other things, a relatively slow response time that caused motion blur during rapid camera movements. A new panel from Sharp could solve at least some of these issues, although so far there is no information about its specs or image quality. It is also unknown whether the change would affect brightness, contrast, or color reproduction. For years Nintendo has made small modifications to its consoles without staging big launches for new models, so it's possible the same will happen with the Switch 2. Until official confirmation, all information should be treated as leaks.
A new leak suggests Nintendo may be preparing an updated LCD panel for the Switch 2 produced by Sharp. The change could improve one of the console's most frequently criticized elements, but the manufacturer hasn't confirmed the reports yet.
