The original Nintendo Switch will soon get a screen mod that will put the vanilla OLED screen featured in the console's second version to shame.
Well-known modder Taki Udon, who recently released a Nintendo Switch Lite OLED screen mod that looks incredible, revealed a few days ago that a SUPER7 mod for the V1/V2 Switch is in the works. This screen will be bigger than the vanilla screen of the console, 7 inches instead of 6.2, and its quality will put the vanilla OLED screen to shame, as effectively showcased in a comparison picture. The upgrade will be a simple PCB swap, so even those who never attempted to mod any of their systems should have no problem installing this mod.
I've been getting questions about upgrades for the V1 or V2 Switch all year.
I can confirm SUPER7 exists, it improves everything in the V1/V2 Switch, and it puts the OLED Switch to shame. An IPS upgrade also exists.

On a related note, Taki Udon also shared a new video a few days ago showcasing the Ultimate Nintendo Switch Lite OLED. The system was upgraded with the SUPER5 OLED Kit, a 5,000 mAh battery, and hall effect sticks, and almost looks like an official premium upgrade of the handheld only version of the system. You can check out the video below.
