Details of the Nintendo Switch Screen Upgrade
Retro Remake, the company known for FPGA consoles and handheld screen upgrades, is bringing two awesome replacement for the standard Nintendo Switch screens. You can pre-order them now on their website with just a $5 deposit.
- SUPER7 IPS: This 7-inch replacement screen makes colors pop and boosts brightness, so games look even better. But heads-up—it doesn’t have touch functionality.
- SUPER7 OLED Touch: Also 7 inches, but with an OLED display, giving you even brighter visuals and touch support for an upgraded experience.

The SUPER5 OLED upgrade kit from Retro Remake makes the Nintendo Switch Lite look way better by swapping out its regular screen for a super bright OLED one. Colors pop more, and the contrast is way sharper. The kit has everything you need, and you won’t have to cut or solder anything. There’s even a fancier version that lets you play on a TV with 1080p HDMI output.
On the flip side, the SUPER7 upgrade is made for the regular Nintendo Switch, bumping up the screen size to 7 inches. It comes in two versions—one with IPS and another with OLED Touch—both making games look brighter and more colorful than before. Since the screen is bigger, you’ll need a new frame and shell to fit it in.
Both upgrades make handheld gaming better. The SUPER5 keeps the Switch Lite’s original shape while improving its display, while the SUPER7 goes for a bigger screen, which means changing the console’s body to make it work.
