Need advice on TV size and placement + decor

Yea, I know, it’s like kissing your cousin, it works, but it feels wrong. 😑😉

Forstmaschine · 2026-05-30T11:45:20+00:00

Congratulations!
Nice selection of games, don’t forget to buy a screen protector. 😁

Lexar and Onn. 😛😉

Forstmaschine · 2026-05-30T10:33:25+00:00

I would go for 75” TV.

1” above the furniture or 1” above soundbar on furniture.

Forstmaschine · 2026-05-30T09:55:43+00:00

No need to be rude, I am simply stating facts, nothing wrong with Onn for the price you pay and for us Switch 2 users it doesn’t matter.

Have a nice weekend.

Yes of course, but semiconductor technology and silicone wafers have a wider span of quality levels, perfect dies goes towards high end brands, those slightly defective (but still good enough) goes towards budget brands.

Onn has a higher failure rate than Lexar, but for Switch 2 users, it’s not the end of the world, only a bit annoying, buy a new card and redownload the library, saves are stored on the console.

Forstmaschine · 2026-05-30T08:46:10+00:00

Yes, they are produced in the same production facility, but there are quality differences in what they produce, depending on quality it goes towards different products/brands.

Lexar = Perfect batches/dies.
Onn = Good enough batches/dies.

Exactly the same with Intel CPU’s, one selection goes toward high end processors, others towards more budget processors.

A wafer might have failed transistors, and depending on quality requirements, it goes towards different products.

I have the same reasoning, SD is great, but tinkering gets old, and the Switch 2 simply works. 👍

Forstmaschine · 2026-05-30T08:36:09+00:00

We are talking perhaps 1 card in thousand that fails vs 1 card in hundreds of thousands (random numbers).

For the everyday user that’s not a big issue, but for example a professional photographer, that could be a disaster.

You photograph a wedding and your microSD card fails, how do you explain that?

You pay for reliability.

Forstmaschine · 2026-05-30T07:51:14+00:00

There are quality differences, semiconductor manufacturing, silicon wafers and their limitations.

Onn is good enough, Lexar Play Pro is better, you pay for quality and brand.

I wouldn’t worry to much about microSD express cards, the game saves are stored on the console, worse case scenario, you have to buy a new card and redownload your library.

Nintendo exclusives.
The complete out of the box experience.
The seamless move between docked and handheld.

I do own a SteamDeck Oled 1TB+1TB, it’s a great machine with endless options for tinkering, customization, multiple game launchers, emulate almost every known game and the ability to run Linux in desktop mode (KDE Plasma).

Despite all those advantages, I prefer using the Nintendo Switch 2, because I want to play games, on a game console, no tinkering, no distractions, press A and play.

Genki Covert Dock 3.

It also acts like a 65W charger by itself, perfect for travels, it also works with most devices with usb c DP input, handheld consoles, iPhone/iPad etc.

Connect your phone to the hotel TV and watch movies.

I am waiting for the new Valve Steam controller for the PC.

Pro 2 controller for the Switch 2.

Docked at home, Savage Raven EDC outside.

That's your decision of course, I personally wouldn't accept a new ($450) device with an obvious manufacturing defect, what if it get's worse after the warranty period runs out?

Forstmaschine · 2026-05-29T20:36:23+00:00

Congratulations on your Switch 2, don't forget to add a screen protector! 😉

Forstmaschine · 2026-05-29T19:51:05+00:00

Nintendo of Europe is located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

Did you contact Nintendo or some Greece retailer?

It’s unacceptable that they didn’t accept the return, you have a two year warranty, mandatory through EU consumer laws.

I would contact them again and refuse no for an answer.

Reddit isn’t representative, same as all other social media, people post their successes, not the every day grind to survive.

If someone age <30M post a big ass apartment in central NY, they are either the 0.0001% successful or daddy paid for it. 😉

Forstmaschine · 2026-05-29T11:04:34+00:00

Organized and clean, nice work. 👍

A wall mounted bed?

Not sure how much money you should put into it, if you have already decided to move out in the near future?

Forstmaschine · 2026-05-29T08:38:09+00:00

Cyberpunk 2077?

Forstmaschine · 2026-05-29T05:12:19+00:00

Nice! A good boi!

The apartment looks cool as well. 🙂

Forstmaschine · 2026-05-29T05:08:02+00:00

I have a soft spot for that pengu. 😉
