Nintendo gave the [Switch 2](https://www.nintendo.com/us/gaming-systems/switch-2/features/?ref=birchtree.me) it's [grand unveiling](https://www.nintendo.com/us/nintendo-direct/4-2-2025/?ref=birchtree.me) today, and I think it looks great. $449 is a steep starting price, but considering the features and the fact we live in a world of inflation and significant tariffs on many goods coming into the US, it's not insane in my book.

But what really caught my eye was the display, which is a 1080p 120Hz LCD monitor with HDR support. I would have loved OLED here, but that one spec stand out: yes, Nintendo, the company well known for being very conservative when it comes to adopting new tech, has a 120Hz display in the Switch 2.

[I continue to bang the drum](https://birchtree.me/blog/im-setting-the-bar-too-low/) on the fact that 120Hz displays are not some exceptionally fancy thing that only the most premium of products get these days, they're baseline for everything besides Apple products and I continue to hope that we get ProMoption across the iPhone, Mac, and iPad lines soon.
