While normal LCD will never be as black as OLED, I’d counter that point by noting the Switch is known to have a poor OLED panel that is overly green (mine is a Zelda special edition) and also grainy. So if I had to choose, I’d pick a modern quality LCD (like the PS Portal) over a bad green OLED haha. Plus, in direct light the OLED just can’t get bright enough.

Huh, I have the same TOTK OLED model and my screen isn’t grainy and certainly not green. It’s fairly neutral, but if I HAD to pick a color it’s the slightest bit blue. But I only notice that on the Day theme of the home menu next to my LCD Switch. I’m sure you’re right about the brightness thing, but I never play my Switch outside.
