I'm puzzled on why we aren't getting 4k releases on the Switch. I'm not a "tech guy" but the Nvidia specs page for the chip says it can handle 4k.

Is it because it can go into handheld mode the reason 4k isn't possible/not being used? Basically the chip is being severely throttled for heat/battery issues?
All I want in a revision is a more powerful graphics chip. I'd settle for something along PS4 Pro level performance/visuals.
I'd gladly pay another $100 for a more powerful Switch(while maintaining backwards capability of course)
I’m wondering that too. There is zero reason the Home screen can’t be 4K when docked. It’s not even 1080p. It’s 720p which looks blurry as hell on every 4k tv.
