Never tried 4K 120Hz…. Just G-Sync, 4K 60Hz no HDR over HDMI 2.0 and it works (My tv G-Sync certified)
Is totally possible technically speaking. But you will need a G-Sync certified TV.Is that what you're pinning your hopes on? That Switch 2 dock won't support HDMI 2.1 VRR but it will support G-Sync?
That's some major wishful thinking. I'll believe it when I see it.
You are living in a bubble. Tell yourself your views are not niche all you want. Most will buy the New Switch plug it into their TV and simply have fun. Look at the Pokemon games on the Switch with their choppy framerates etc. Outside of the core who actually cared. You are deluded like many on here. And spend far too much time playing videogames and discussing them on niche internet sites. The problem with this is it's gives the impression it's far more people than it actually is in reality.Right, I'm pretty sure all the "normies®" were thrilled to hear that they had to buy a 200 Eurodollars headset for their portal if they wanted a wireless solution, or the "normies®" that had just spent 1000++ Eurodollars on a "latest and greatest" 4K TV back in 2020 to use it with their shiny PS quintuple to hear that their shiny new toy couldn't do VRR - even more so if they were unlucky enough to get the Sony XH900 which was botched since its inception due to the shitty mediatek SOC (if you know you know).
So yeah, while there may be tech illiterate people out there, most of them do care about this shit whether you agree or not.
VRR looks like shit on an OLED, so it's no loss for me.
This kind of topic always puts me in the minority on GAF.... we've never owned a VRR tv nor a 4K one for that matter, nor are any of our TVs larger than what would be called a medium size. I hate seeing wall-sized TVs in living rooms, and I've never kept a set for less than 15 years before replacing. TV-maxxing is weird to me.
Also, the "primary" mode for Switch 1/2 has always been handheld, and that's where the majority of play happens. Most families only put it on the TV when doing multiplayer and party games. I've seen this pattern firsthand a million times since we interact with a ton of Switch owners who are all families with kids like ours. The dock is generally treated more like a special tv-out convenience when you want to show something off or do 2-player local.
Well majority will play it on handheld mode

I am well aware as I spend a lot or time playing videogames and on here. But if I mention any of this stuff to regular people it won't be long until their eyes start to glaze over.![]()
The incorrect information was initially published on the Nintendo Switch 2 website, and we apologise for the error.
Keep on telling yourself all the masses really want this or even care. People on here in bubbles speaking to people in similar bubbles.Ahhhh those are the reactions I was looking for. Nice job guys, another successful Nintendo defense!![]()
which people keep bashing all these things?. People on here or other niche sites. I think outside of core hobby gamers nobody actually cares or even notices.
Not to defend Nintendo, but VRR the standard for years? On Xbox yes, but on PS5 just very few select titles/graphic modes

Never defended it. Just pointed out people outside core hobby gamers do not care about any of this. That seems to trigger you and others more than the fact the Switch 2 has no VRR in docked mode lol.The fact that you're actually defending this is embarrassing. It's embarrassing that you defend a decision that is against helping the consumer by implementing something that could help there gaming experience. We're not in 2000 anymore and 4k tv's with VRR are the standard and will continue to be the standard moving forward in the tv market and in consumer households.

Sorry to break that to you. If you feel this is being discussed by the wider mass market. Then I am not quite sure what to tell you.Fuck man, i can't![]()
It falls back to Freesync anyway and will still be better than nothing, Gsync and Freesync are more ubiquitous than VRR in my own experienceThe only issue is a lot of tvs doesn't support Gsync, especially the olders one…
If in fact V-Sync is supported when docked… Makes sense to avoid any mention of this to avoid even more confusion due the limited support of TVs… But will see.It falls back to Freesync anyway and will still be better than nothing, Gsync and Freesync are more ubiquitous than VRR in my own experience

Well I want it for handheld gaming reason. And I want Switch 2 because of there exclusives like the next Zelda, Mario and Metroid and most Japanese AA game exclusives will come out of Switch 2 which is probably the biggest mistake of Sony abandoning AA Japanese games exclusives. And for a handheld it is pretty good visuals. My TV will be mostly for Ps5 gaming.Doubt it. If Nintendo's old Switch statistics are anything to go by "only" ~30% of users play exclusively in handheld mode.
And the Switch Lite only accounts for ~17% of all Switch (1) sales.
With the Switch 2 having more power and actually being able to output 4K and such I'd think more people would be incentivized to play on their TV's this time rather than the other way around.
Even less reason for it not to be available while docked. In fact, it makes no sense.The handheld screen already has VRR
This makes zero sense. My LG C9 and Samsung s90D OLEDs have zero VRR issues. What are you talking about?Some people will be more sensitive to it than others, but it is choppy.
That's why i think is going to be there in some form, probably in the future via a firmware upgrade or G-Sync only.Even less reason for it not to be available while docked. In fact, it makes no sense.
the only way that quote makes any logical sense is that VRR doesnt work below 48fps, but that has nothing to do with OLED, it's just the way VRR is spec'd and Sony put it in PS5 to spec.This makes zero sense. My LG C9 and Samsung s90D OLEDs have zero VRR issues. What are you talking about?
my lg cx (2020) does 4k120 hdr vrr.If I remember correctly only Samsung TVs were supporting it. Was the reason I chose the QN90A over getting an LG OLED.
When the hell has Nintendo EVER been pro-consumer? The fuck are you smoking? This is the same company that refused to move over the CDs/DVDs even when the rest of the industry did and their N64 cartridge games would cost like double what PS1s CD games were.Honestly my beef with nintendo is the fact they used to be more pro consumer then they used to be. Now they just put two middle fingers in the air and try nickle and diming consumers over every little thing to the point that it's insane. The biggest one to me that happened a couple of years ago is when they lauched the 3D mario all-stars collection on switch only for a limited time and then stopped selling it both physically and on the nintendo e-shop loll.

They've always been huffing their own supply.
For a mid 2025 system, it's something that should've been available on day one, but then again, Sony took ages to add something as minor (but important to many) as a native 1440p support, so i guess it is what it is with these companies.That's why i think is going to be there in some form, probably in the future via a firmware upgrade or G-Sync only.
I wonder if that is what he is referring to. Forgot about that part of the PS5 VRR implementation. The one thing Xbox did better this gen than Sony was VRR implementation.the only way that quote makes any logical sense is that VRR doesnt work below 48fps, but that has nothing to do with OLED, it's just the way VRR is spec'd and Sony put it in PS5 to spec.
Like I said if you feel this is being discussed in wider circles then I feel sorry for you. Like I have stated I am not defending anything. I am simply stating outside of niche internet forums nobody cares. This for some reason seems to trigger some on here."The normies don't care, they just wanna turn their Nintendo system on and have fun, only nerds like you actually care about this stuff!"
This is the Nintendo fanboy's last line of defense literally every time there's a discussion about something Nintendo lacks. Come on man, don't be that guy. Just stay out of technical discussions if you're going to say stuff like that.
my lg cx (2020) does 4k120 hdr vrr.
PS5 VRR affects all of there games my man. It can be toggled for games that don't even have it implemented into the game itself.
I do wonder if some on here actually enjoy their hobby. They seem to spend more time complaining about games than playing them.some play games. others play specs.
Or earlier. PS4 is 1.4 and has HDR support.
Someone please sue Nintendo for this error. They're trying to weasel out from this misinformation!!!1111 How could they??!!11111!!![]()

You are simply confirming my points by bringing up niche internet gaming sites. Do you really think the mass majority of people that are going to buy a Switch 2 will be on sites like Eurogamer. You are taking your delusion to a whole new level. But please feel free to carry on lol.It's out in the mass media.
