To ensure that your Nintendo Switch looks its best when docked, one important factor to consider is the resolution. The Nintendo Switch offers resolution options of 480p, 720p, and 1080p. By default, it is set to Automatic. If your TV supports 1080p, you can easily change the resolution of your Nintendo Switch with these steps:
- Dock your Nintendo Switch.
- Turn on your TV.
- Turn on your Nintendo Switch.
- Select System Settings (represented by a gear symbol below the games).
- Select TV Settings.
- Select TV Resolution.
- Change the TV Resolution from Automatic to 1080p.
The resolution directly impacts the visual sharpness and clarity of an image. When set to 480p, the edges in video games may appear jagged, resulting in a diminished overall look of the game. However, by setting the resolution to 1080p, your Nintendo Switch game will be displayed at its highest possible resolution, delivering a visually pleasing gaming experience. While it may not match a 4K display, it is still superior to standard definition.
