Scroll down to TV, and then select TV Resolution to select the resolution display options for your Switch 2 when it's docked and displaying on your monitor or TV. The Switch 2 is capable of displaying in 720p, 1080p, 1440p, and 2160p (4K). Even if you select a higher resolution, however, your TV may not be displaying it correctly. Make sure that your display is 4K capable, you have a 4K-capable HDMI cable (the Switch 2 comes with one), and that you have 4K selected in the settings. Also, double-check the HDMI ports on your display. Some TVs and monitors have multiple HDMI ports, but not all of them support settings like 4K resolution or 120hz, so be sure that you have the Switch 2's HDMI cable hooked up to the correct port, or some resolutions and frame rates won't be possible. If you're not sure about what your TV's settings are or what it's capable of, set the setting to Automatic and the Switch 2 will automatically apply the highest resolution it can. Unfortunately, 4K gaming requires a 4K display, device, and cable to work. Screenshot by Destructoid The Switch 2 is a customizable console because it even lets you remap buttons on the JoyCons.
