Countdown to the Switch 2's launch - 15 days

I'm going to highlight one thing I am excited for each day as we countdown to the console's release early next month.

Today I want to take a look at the screen on the system. Switch 2 has a 7.9-inch wide color gamut LCD screen capable of outputting at 1080p (1920x1080). In size terms, this is a big upgrade from Switch 1's 6.2-inch screen, the Switch OLED's 7-inch screen, and the Switch Lite's 5.5-inch screen. The Switch 2's screen is about 30% longer on the diagonal than the screen on the original Switch and 8% longer on the diagonal / 11% larger in overall area than Valve’s 7.4 inch Steamdeck OLED display.

There is also support for HDR10 and VRR up to 120 Hz, which means games can jump up to 120fps if they and your setup allow it.

I'm here for this

If something goes wrong with the preorders for kiddo and me we'll be crushed

I'm only concerned because I've had problems with preorders of Google products where the pending purchase authorizations got messed up and Google cancelled the orders when they tried to transact. Google and my bank both blamed each other. I'm not sure which is correct.

Hopefully Best Buy and Target work better with long pre-authorizations at USAA.

There is always a chance of that happening, but I think if you haven't had your pre order cancelled at this point then you are probably in the clear. I'll cross my fingers for everyone though ehehehe
