Connecting your Nintendo Switch to a TV is simple and only requires a few steps. Here’s how to do it:
1. Gather the Essentials
You’ll need your Nintendo Switch, the dock, the power cord, and an HDMI cable. If you don’t have a dock, you can purchase one. Here is an alternative dock.
2. Set Up the Dock
Plug the power cord into the back of the dock. Connect the HDMI cable to the dock and your TV.
3. Connect and Play
Place your Nintendo Switch into the dock, ensuring it connects securely. Set your TV input to the correct HDMI port (e.g., HDMI 1). Your Switch screen should now display on the TV.
4. Use the Joy-Cons
Detach the Joy-Con controllers from the Switch and use them to navigate and play on the TV.
That’s it! You’re ready to enjoy your Nintendo Switch on the big screen. If this guide helped, check out the video above, like, and subscribe for more gaming tips!
