Although the screen quality of the Nintendo Switch 2 is average, its hardness is surprisingly good.According to tests from the oil pipe channel JerryRigEverything, he personally smashed it with pliers 50 times and found that it still works.The oil tube blogger even ripped off the screen protector before trying this test, meaning the Switch 2 would actually be more resistant to any type of impact.

The oil pipe blogger said: "We did tear off that plastic screen protector before, and the only way to really know whether the Nintendo Switch 2 screen will break into pieces when it breaks is to smash it! After 13 times, the Joy-Con handle popped out, and I began to think that the screen is not glass at all, and the whole machine may be made of shatter-proof plastic. I smashed it 14 times and tried very hard. The Switch 2 is fine! 15 more times, and it is still unscathed! It's ridiculous. If you don't feel at ease about the durability of the Switch 2 after reading it, you may never feel at ease.
Finally, after I smashed it with big pliers for 50 times, we realized that there was indeed a very thin layer of glass on the surface.You can see in slow motion that Nintendo is right (Nintendo warned players not to tear off the screen protector) - without that layer of protective film that fits on it, the glass will really explode into small pieces like a needle.So I highly recommend that you don't tear it off.Although most of the broken glass is still stuck to the LCD panel, there are still a lot of loose glass debris and dust that may pierce into the children's fingers or eyes.So I'm very glad Nintendo added protective layers on it, there's really no need to tear it off.
Although I knocked on the screen to the black screen, I could still continue to play after a quick restart. Nintendo said jokingly, "The game is not over yet."Almost immortal!I'm a big fan of the Nintendo Switch 2.”
The Switch 2's screen is a 7.9-inch (20 cm) side-light LCD touch screen with a resolution of 1080p (279 ppi) and supports G-SYNC variable refresh rate and HDR up to 120Hz (although the effect is average due to the low peak brightness of the display).
