One wonders if Switch screen manufacturing is literally the only stable factor in their business right now.

In practice Nintendo can switch suppliers which they might do anyway as they seem intent to ramp up Switch production.

Jesus, not one single shred of good news. That CEO must have been massacred at the shareholders meeting.

Wonder what it means for the Switch if the company goes under in a couple of years. Probably just finding a new partner? Can't see them switching to OLED displays for current gen.

Edit: That sound solution shit on Sony's new OLED TVs sounds cool as hell. Be keeping my eye on that.

Why did Nintendo even partner with these dudes in the first place then? Surely they would have seen them as an unstable company. They must have been cheap as hell.

JDI is a joint venture between Sony, Toshiba and Hitachi, who merged their LCD divisions into this new company. So while JDI is only 5 years old, its individual parts have quite the history.

That's not true, I had the white model and it still suffered from black blotches.

Maybe it's a per unit thing. I've got the white one from the Assassin's Creed bundle and it doesn't have blotches.

Only the launch window OLEDs suffer from this. Later ones, like the white model, have it fixed.

I had the AC white model and it definitely had this issue, unless you're speaking of another white version.

Yeah, I think you were lucky. It was a contributing reason to me switching out to a 2000.

Yours and probably those of most other people. OLED TVs are still in the enthusiast space, mostly.
