Nintendo explains Vivid and Standard Mode

Nintendo explains Vivid and Standard Mode

Nintendo explained why they gave users two options when it comes to the display on the Nintendo Switch.

If you own a Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) you will notice that you can choose between Vivid Mode and Standard Mode. Vivid Mode enhances vibrant colours which may be off-putting for some players.

Nintendo for that reason also included a standard mode to give a more natural look to the visuals displayed on screen. We noticed users on social media say that they prefer Vivid Mode for some games and Standard Mode for other games, but it is all basically down to personal choice.

Even though the colors have gotten more vivid with the OLED display, some customers may feel like the colors look too vivid. Taking that into consideration, we made it so that the player can select a standard color mode, to make it look like the conventional LCD display.

If you prefer the vivid colors of the OLED display, you can keep it in the vibrant color mode that is default out of the box.

The Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) is available right now.
