If you're a lucky guy and already have the new Nintendo Switch OLED in your possession, don't remove the screen protector. In any case, this is what Nintendo strongly recommends.
A necessary protective film for the Nintendo Switch OLED
“Do not peel off the anti-scattering adhesive film from the OLED screen of the console” can be read on the manual of the new Switch OLED . With its brand new video game console, Nintendo offers a big change in the screen. Exit the classic plastic LED screen of the Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite, hello the beautiful glass OLED screen. And that is the whole “problem”.
Indeed, if this OLED screen is a real pleasure for the eyes and the gaming experience, as confirmed by our test, it is much more fragile than before. Logical since it is made of glass. Not only can the screen break if dropped, but above all it can injure the player. Yes, according to the latest news, glass cuts.
To avoid any drama, Nintendo covered its OLED screen with an adhesive film. The latter protects, of course, from possible scratches but it will above all prevent the screen from shattering in the event of a fall. Shards that could seriously injure the user of the console... As they say, prevention is better than cure.
But don't worry, this protective film is almost imperceptible and doesn't interfere with your gaming experience at all. Maybe you didn't even notice it? With or without, the image quality remains the same and the responsiveness of the screen as well. So might as well keep this necessary protection, right?
If you want to add a layer of screen protection, Nintendo has confirmed that it is possible to place another protective film on top of the one already present. And again, the Japanese firm ensures that the gaming experience on the console will not be affected by this double protection.
