During a roundtable Q&A in New York, the leads behind the new console discussed a number of subjects about the system, including its use of a LCD screen. The team was asked why the change was made, since an OLED could be considered superior. Tetsuya Sasaki explained that Nintendo feels that a lot of improvements have been made in LCD technology since the original Switch's release, and that after a great deal of consideration, the team decided to go with LCD. Sasaki went on to point out that the Switch 2's LCD screen supports HDR, which should provide a visual boost to games, and that even the OLED version of the Switch lacked HDR. In all, the team seems confident in this decision.

Even in the 3DS deviant days, they never were a stickler for having screens match. Potentially, so they can sell an OLED later. The 3DS was just unlucky needing more screens.
