It would be nice if there was some sort of padding for its screen when docked in the Origin. Speaking of screens, I’m told the original Switch is notorious for scratches. I mean its primary purpose is for the Nintendo Switch which HAS a touchscreen. It may be hard to see in the picture, but in the lower left is the light leak I’m talking about. I didn’t notice any ghosting or weird artifacts while playing. The colors are good and it seems to have a good refresh rate. While video is on the screen it looks fine. When powering on and while on a black screen, there are bright spots or light leakage, and those spots seem to move around to different areas of the screen when returning to a black screen. Now I have some nits to pick with the Up-Switch Orion gaming monitor. Finally, I used an old Chromecast and was able to stream from my phone.

Next, I connected an Amazon Fire Stick and with the use of the Pro Controller, I could watch movies, shows, and YouTube videos. It can’t use its external USB C port for power and video. I connected it to my laptop and used it as a 2 nd monitor. Navigation within that menu is done by using all the buttons, except Power, of course.īecause the Up-Switch Orion gaming monitor has the HDMI In port, there are many other use cases for it. Pressing the menu button pulls up a menu just like any other monitor, allowing you to adjust brightness, contrast, color temperature, among other settings.
If you hit the – first that activates Brightness controls. So, if you want to turn it down, you first must hit the + one time, then – to reduce the volume.

The weird thing about operating the rocker switch is to adjust the volume you first have to hit the plus to access volume. They are power, a + – rocker switch, menu, and return. Stereo only, no simulated surround sound that I could tell.įor operating the Up-Switch Orion gaming monitor, there are five buttons on the top edge on the left side. The stereo speakers work surprisingly well for their size, so to keep the wife happy while she was in the living room with me, I used some wired headphones. My wife hates watching games on the TV, so now she can watch what she wants, and I can blast psychos to my heart’s content. I got to say I had fun playing one of my favorite games on the bright, crisp screen without tying up the TV. Luckily, my son had Borderlands 2, one of the best games ever, installed so I got to revisit all my friends on Pandora. and quickly decided I should play something else. There’s just the cable from the battery to the USB C port on the side of the Orion. Using my battery pack on the rear of it, it’s practically a wire-free setup. on it after extending the kickstand, and got to playing. So, I set a small table in front of the recliner, placed the Up-Switch Orion gaming monitor et al. Yes, that meant I’m no longer holding the Orion in my hands. I quickly decided against using them and went with my daughter’s pro controller. I’m not a Joy-Con fan because they too are small and uncomfortable. Smaller hands or anyone comfortable using the Joy-Cons will probably not have issues. The ergo handles are also pretty small in my hands and felt uncomfortable to use. They’ve included a metal dog tag-shaped tool on a key ring to facilitate that, which if you have big hands can be annoying to use. Line up the plastic boss on the handle to the slot on the rear of the Up-Switch Orion gaming monitor, slide it into place, and secure it with a screw. With the weight of a battery pack, I didn’t trust the Joy-Cons to support the device on their own. If you are going to use the Joy-Cons attached, I would suggest using the included ergo handles. Here’s a shot with my battery pack strapped in. Otherwise, you can use the wall wart power supply that comes with the Switch. It is compatible with a USB battery pack, so to play it on the go, I’d suggest investing in one.
You have to supply your own, which can affect its portability. No, it does not come with its own power supply or internal batteries. It’s a monitor with a built dock for the Switch, controller mounts, speakers, an HDMI out port, and a USB C port for power. The Up-Switch Orion gaming monitor is a one-of-a-kind device, as far as I can tell. Most of us in this household are gamers so gaming accessories make us resemble a family of meerkats, popping up to check things out when a new one is unveiled.
Two of my brood of four have the original Nintendo Switch so the Up-Switch Orion gaming monitor piqued my interest.
