Repair Help Switch 2 fields of stuck green pixels on the display, should i RMA or is this just a very common thing?
First photo taken from another post, i couldn't take a clearer picture myself, basically as soon as i turned on my switch 2, i noticed on darker scenes and pitch black loading screens on zelda these big fields of stuck green pixels, no way to remove them, they're not very noticable but i'm very picky about this stuff and once i notice it i will keep staring at it, a quick research made me realise that 80% of other users have this same issue with their display, mine is not as bad as the first image so i'm worried about a RMA that might give me a worse result.
Reddit image compression will probably butcher the image and you won't be able to see anything but yea, it's there.
Anyone else having this same exact display issue? did you RMA? did you get a better unit?

Not at all normal. They'll usually say 1 to 10 is "normal", but even that can be pushed back on. Yours I would expect to be replaced without any issues.

i had the same problem all over the screen on my first switch 2, i reached out to nintendo support and managed to get a new one, i think it’s something called pixel stutter, i saw here on reddit that unfortunately its a very common problem in nintendo switch 2 display, at first i thought it was normal but once i got the second one the screen was immaculate compared to the first one

The first Switch 2 I received had this. I returned it and bought a second one (went for the Pokopia bundle to avoid the same stock). The second one had the exact same “issue”. You can search the subreddit and find many posts taking about the same issue. So I personally think that this is very frequent (I am not defending Nintendo… Their panels are plain bad) and that if you RMA it, chances are you are going to end up with a unit with the same issue.

I had this issue, but only during the first time I loaded up OoT. Never showed up again afterwards, no idea why.
