The Short and Sweet on Connecting Your Switch to the TV
First off, you need the Nintendo Switch dock, the HDMI cable that came with your Switch, and a power adapter. These items are your golden tickets to big-screen gaming.
Start by opening the back cover of the Switch dock. Inside, you’ll find connections for the HDMI cable and power adapter. Plug the HDMI cable into the dock and the other end into an available HDMI port on your TV. Next, connect the power adapter to the dock and then to an outlet. Finally, place your Nintendo Switch into the dock, making sure the screen is facing the same direction as the front of the dock. Switch your TV to the corresponding HDMI input, and voilà – your game should now display on the TV.
