Wondering if you can enjoy your favorite Nintendo Switch games on the big screen without using the dock? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into how you can make this happen.

So, you’re trying to figure out how to get your Nintendo Switch to play nice with your TV but without the bulky dock. Is that even possible? You bet it is, and we’ll show you how.

Quick Solution: Use a USB-C to HDMI Adapter

The simplest way to connect your Nintendo Switch to a TV without using the dock is by using a USB-C to HDMI adapter. This handy gadget allows you to bypass the need for the dock and connect directly to your TV.

First things first, you’ll need to make sure you have a USB-C to HDMI adapter that’s compatible with the Nintendo Switch. Not all adapters are created equal, so do your homework to avoid any screen blackouts or other frustrating issues. Once you have the right adapter, you’ll also need an HDMI cable to connect the adapter to your TV. Simply insert the USB-C end of the adapter into your Switch, the HDMI cable into the adapter and TV, and voilà, you’re ready to game on the big screen!
