It's confirmed to be an IPS panel and that's not a dead pixel, it's a piece of dust. The owner of the console said so himself.

Under the glass or on top?
Wait, you actually think there's dead pixels?

I have been answering when I can but I'm not home at the moment and some of the questions have been VERY specific so they aren't things I can answer off the top of my head.

It was just on top. It is gone now. Floated away to dust heaven.

Man, I think the Switch is nice looking tech.
You're really trying your best but let's not try to project your paranoia on everyone else. Thanks
👀
can we see a list of possible Mii avatars? ie, the different Nintendo pics
thanks!

He mentioned he had sort of a busy day, so I'm not sure we'all get much more info tonight. Haha, he wasn't really planning on having a new system today.
EDIT: Didn't realize he was posting again. Thanks for all the info!
The jokes are starting to get old, it's just perpetuating confusion.

So since he owns one, is there any confirmation if the screen is glass? I'm not asking him to try to scratch it up, just curious.

I'm really confused why you have made it a mission to attack everything I have posted or said today. I am trying to give people answers and do my best, this isn't my job, I didn't ask to get it early but I did and have literally devoted my entire day to answer people's questions. I don't have to post a video of my console after I wiped a piece of dust off of it. It honestly doesn't matter to me if you believe me about a piece of dust on my screen or not so if you want to keep telling people it's a dead pixel then go ahead I guess. I'm just not sure what you get out of trying to rain on everyone else's parade.

So I'm assuming he can't login to the Nintendo Network yet, and the eShop isn't live?
Two weeks out from launch, I would imagine it isn't outside the realm of possibility for it to be live in some limited way, but it's more likely that it isn't.

It was a (bad) joke. hiphop has stated several times that it was a piece of dust that he wiped off.
I'm picky but not stupid. I'm aware that one sample is not indicative of anything. With any manufacturing process there will be a small percentage of units with faults.
No doubt there will be some with excessive bleed, dead pixels, dust trapped under the glass, d.o.a units etc. It happens with every product, regardless of the manufacturer.
Simple solution is to exchange it with your retailer if there are any issues.
I can assure you that I have not been trying to "attack" you at all. I'm not the type of person that attacks people behind a screen. I appreciate the time you've taken to answer questions people have.
And raining on people's parade? I don't quite agree with that when there are a handful of the same posters that are constantly reminding those of us with pre-orders that the switch is underpowered, has no games and will be d.o.a.
Anyway as I said if my posts have come across the wrong way I apologise. That's the issue with online, when something is written it's hard to gauge things like tone, intent etc.
In this case, the answer might be in his name.
Thanks again for this, you've done a great service. I hope you somehow find a way to be able to play it before launch without the Ninty Ninjas coming.

What max velocity does the Switch unit- both with and without joycons attached- get to when dropped from the roof of a Wendy's accounting for air resistance and a relative humidity of 23%? On a Tuesday.
No but seriously thank you so much for accommodating all of us nutjobs and answering any questions. You're the hero gaf needs!
hence the 👀
That's all I really wanted to see, and am happy about it. I totally hate the delay with PS4 and the sound, where it's great on Vita, but cumbersome because of the button combo.

Again, not at home but there are way more than I was expecting! I will post a video when I get home. Will also post some Mii video.
Also ocd guy, if I misinterpreted a joke as an attack I am sorry. It's been a long day and I'm probably just a bit overwhelmed and read too much into it.
dope thanks again, really appreciate the effort
Don't listen to his nonsense, Hiphop.
We appreciate the effort you've put in today. Again thank you.
Oh my bad, I must have not noticed.
Thanks for following up on questions. I'm sure the Switch info thirst is probably overwhelming even beyond what you expected.

Such a tease with no games to play. I would rather wait and not have it

How open are you to getting your Switch opened up to see the specs, and be fully reimbursed for a new one?
Thraktor can do this, right?
edit: Can you confirm that the RAM is 4GB?

Man, that menu responsiveness looks so nice after the 3DS and even the Wii U. It takes forever to do even simple things on those (hyperbole), so this is just a breath of fresh air.
I'm excited.

I need more. Give it to meeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEE
I doubt this, but I do really hope there are more skin tones, hair styles for other ethnicities, and hair colors. Thanks for everything today, it's helping the wait!

No problem at all. As I said I apologize genuinely. I should have stopped with the joke after the first time. I appreciate that written text can be misinterpreted very easily.
Anyway seeing your videos has definitely raised the excitement levels. Here's hoping for a Nintendo direct before launch too.

You fuckin' did it for like 2 and a half hours. And a few people got worried about it because you kept persisting.
MvCI would be more apt for me.......or Injustice 2......or Tekken 7.

The Joy-Con straps look like solid peripherals. Dock looks kinda cheap but that doesn't matter to me.
I've apologized, and I won't do it from this point onwards. I can't do much more than that.
I do feel as though I'm actually being singled out now. And you're exaggerating a bit. I certainly didn't post the same thing constantly for 2 hours. It was perhaps 4 posts regarding the dead pixel (check post history) and people were asking about the dead pixel off their own back.
I'm not going to keep explaining myself though as it's not going to achieve anything. If I've really over stepped the mark then I'm sure a moderator will deal with me appropriately.

Does opening the shop do anything yet?

It says it needs a system update when clicked on but system update gives an error message.

Thanks. I just realized there's a whole other bigger thread about the UI.
As for the dock, it looks very much lighter than expected.. do you think it will be easy to knock over or flimsy feeling?

He doesn't want that information out there so that the retailer or an employee at the retailer doesn't face any legal issues.
