Although speculation about the upgraded or even new versions of Nintendo Switch consoles has been blooming in past months, the company did not reveal any information about possible new hardware on E3 Nintendo Direct.  

Nintendo waited a few weeks and announced the long-awaited new Nintendo Switch OLED Model at the beginning of July. It is not the Switch Pro some speculated about, and although it’s not a complete overhaul, the new model does bring new specs in a couple of areas. 

How Big of an Upgrade Is the New OLED Screen? 

One of the most significant upgrades the new Switch has is the bigger new OLED screen produced by Samsung. Why is this a  big deal? OLED has incredible picture quality and infinite contrast, thanks to the impeccable reproduction of blacks. In addition, OLED screens don’t have LED illumination behind the screen. Instead, every single pixel can switch on and of, contributing to picture accuracy and quality better while saving energy is the same time.  

Switch console is a great mobile gaming experience due to its design and countless great games, but the LCD screen was lagging compared to modern smartphones. So another upgrade is in size from the current 6.2 to 7 inches.  

Nintendo announced the battery life would be the same. OLED is more energy-efficient, but the bigger screen compensates for that difference. Also, the resolution stayed the same, so it has a lower PPI. The device has a similar size due to many thinner frames around a bigger screen. In addition, the new OLED Switch can go into existing docking for TV use.  

No upgraded NVIDIA Chip to Render 4K 

Where Nintendo could have improved significantly compared to other gaming systems is performance. The Switch OLED still has a 720p screen and can run games at 1080p in its “TV mode.” In 2021, gaming standards are slightly higher, but Nintendo stays put with its tried and true formula and existing hardware configuration. So, for example, if you insert Switch OLED in docking, the TV output will remain as before – 1080p. 

It will be interesting to see how the will games look on the new, improved screen. Will it cause Nintendo Switch Error Codes, unpredictable glitches, or will they run smoothly? 

 Will we see DLSS down the line? 

One thing we still want to see in Switch hardware is a performance boost. However, as we saw how Nvidia DLSS technology works on their high-end graphics card, implementing deep learning super sampling in Tegra chipset could solve the problem with rendering games in 4K resolution on TV, even with existing hardware.  

DLSS works around classic rendering by using the power of AI and conventionally rendering the small part of the pixels. Then, with less energy needed, you can get accurate upscaled renders that support all other NVIDIA technologies like Ray Tracing. But, are we going to see it? We don’t think so, as the current chip architecture in it doesn’t support it. 

Other differences compared to standard Switch include a slightly different design, a new place for microSD cards and more extensive internal storage. Now you will get 64 GB of storage compared to 32 GB in standard Switch and Switch Lite. Nintendo also listened to the fans and drastically improved the kickstand. 

Nintendo started production, and the new Switch will be available for purchase in October. Just imagine The Legends of Zelda: Breath of the Wild announced sequel, its massive open-world played in handheld mode on the OLED screen

If you have ever looked up the question ‘How do I fix my printer?‘ or ‘What cartridges do I use for my printer?‘ you understand that finding answers to those simple questions is a lot harder than you thought. If anyone understands you, it is the InkEvolved team of printer experts.  

“Having encountered our fair share of printer problems back in the day, we started toying with the idea of starting our very own printing helpdesk early in our college years.” – The InkEvolved Team 

This simple idea changed not only their lives but the lives of tens of thousands of people who struggle to find a straightforward answer for any printer issues they encounter. Three years after launching the site, they decided it was time for yet another significant change. InkEvolved announced that they are rebranding! 

New Printers, New Authors

With new names come new authors, and so do new printers. So everything new is coming to the site where ‘positive inking‘ happens. However, it is no longer ‘InkEvolved, ‘but rather PrinterHeadlines, close to their partner site GamerHeadlines.  

Apart from the name change, they will be enhancing the team and content by introducing four new members and four new printers. Although, as it has been so far, each author is responsible for their printer brand, the same applies to the new authors. The eight types of printers available are Epson, HP, Brother, Canon, Lexmark, Konica, Dymo, and Ricoh.  

Over 1000 Articles And Counting

Thus far, the team has provided over 1000 articles to printer users in need of printing solutions. However, given that the team has gotten an upgrade, so will the content that comes from them. Alongside the troubleshooting articles for the new printers, visitors can also expect more topics related to printers. Henceforth, subjects such as news, manuals, tutorials, and reviews will also be available on the PrinterHeadlines site. Everything anyone news to stay in tune with the printer world.  

The printing community can also expect new posts on their social media platforms with the new site content. Since one of their goals is to bring the printer community closer together, being active on social media platforms might get everyone to one place. 

Last but not least, several technical changes will also be happening behind the scenes. To improve the site user experience, the team has decided to move from the unmanaged WordPress platform and try out the unmanaged solution from Kinsta. They also agreed to go with the tagDiv platform due to its good performance and features. You can check out all the improvements at PrinterHeadlines.
