Ever wondered how you can enjoy your favorite Nintendo Switch games on a bigger screen but don’t have the dock handy? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into the simplest way to connect your Switch to the TV without the original dock.

Connecting the Nintendo Switch to a TV without using the official dock might sound like a puzzle, but it’s actually quite straightforward.

Simple Steps to Connect Without the Dock

To play on your TV without the dock, you’ll need a USB-C to HDMI adapter. This little gadget is the key to getting your game on the big screen. Make sure the adapter you choose supports “TV mode” for the Nintendo Switch.

Here’s how you do it: First, connect the USB-C end of the adapter to your Switch. Then, use an HDMI cable to connect the adapter to your TV. Finally, plug the adapter into a power source. Turn on your TV, select the right HDMI input, and voila! You’re playing your Switch games on a much larger display.
