Nintendo tells Switch users dead pixels are their problem

Gamers distracted by display issues told that their consoles are not defective, as well as being told not to play near microwaves, laptops, phones - or aquariums

Switch owners complaining of distracting dead or stuck pixels, or light or dark patches on the screens of their brand new consoles, are being told by Nintendo that they are "normal" and are not defects.

New Switch players have taken to online discussion boards, including a 2,000-comment strong Reddit post, to complain of screen issues distracting play, unbecoming of a 280 handheld gaming machine.
