If you’re a Switch owner with a 4K TV, you may have noticed that the graphics and visuals don’t quite live up to the standard set by your TV. Don’t worry, you’re not alone! This article will provide you with some tips and tricks to enhance the visual quality of your Switch on your 4K TV.
Resolution Settings
The first and most obvious step to improve the visual quality of your Switch on your 4K TV is to adjust the resolution settings. By default, the Switch outputs at 1080p (1920×1080) when docked.
