The graphics are praised for their clarity and quality on the Switch OLED, providing a visually appealing experience both on the handheld device and when connected to a 4K TV, even though it does not support native 4K resolution.
“I used a Switch OLED, and the graphics and text were nice and clear both on the Switch and when connected to a 4K TV (although not in 4K).”
