Nintendo's upcoming Switch OLED may not be the Switch Pro many were hoping for, but it brings exactly what I want from a new Switch to the table.

Nintendo Switch vs Switch OLED – Which should you buy?
For months, rumors and leaks that Nintendo would release a Switch Pro with support for 60FPS, 4K resolution and more valuable features have been doing the rounds. Earlier this week, however, Nintendo dropped everything when they announced the Switch OLED model. The new Switch is exactly what it sounds like, but instead of the LCD panel found on the current model, it has an OLED screen. It's a handy update, but something that many have found disappointing is the lack of any upgrade to its resolution.
Where many were hoping for 4K, Nintendo has chosen to continue with the 1080P output when docked, and a maximum of 720P when playing in handheld mode. It's not the most ideal solution if you want to experience the Breath of the Wild sequel in 4K, but it's not a deal breaker either. In fact, for someone like me, who uses the device in handheld mode rather than docked, it's the perfect upgrade to make my portable gaming a little better.
To be honest, I never saw the appeal of a Nintendo Switch outputting to 4K resolution when connected to the TV. Sure, I like playing new games at higher resolutions – I have my PlayStation 5 hooked up to a 4K TV and run high-res displays on my gaming PC too – but when it comes to Nintendo games, resolution has never been a big deal for me.
