Let’s break down how you can go from playing on the small screen to enjoying your games in full TV glory.
Simple Steps to Connect Your Nintendo Switch to the TV
First things first, make sure you have your Nintendo Switch dock, the HDMI cable that came with your console, and a power outlet ready. Here’s the scoop on getting connected.
Place your Nintendo Switch into the dock. You’ll notice the dock has a USB-C connector at the bottom. This is where the magic happens. Next, take the HDMI cable and plug one end into the dock and the other end into an available HDMI port on your TV. Lastly, make sure the dock’s power cable is plugged in and voila – you’re all set to play on the big screen!
Why Playing on the TV is a Blast With Nintendo Switch
