I would get one I don't care about the portability.

How much do folks think the apparently bad screen adds to its cost (in parts/assembly etc.) for its removal to make a substantial price difference (they'd need to pack in joycons with the handle attachment rather than a Pro controller as games can still utilize the motion/mouse features in TV mode)?

I dislike the Switch Lite because it sacrifices too much. I'm going to say the same about a TV only device.

At $299 it would be a steal.

Unlike the original Switch, I'm finding the Switch 2 experience far superior when playing on a quality TV.

 

[VolticArchangel]

If they can cut costs significantly, if they can add extra qol features like vrr with a dock and controller included, and if they can market this as equally as a standalone device as they would on their inevitable Switch 2 Lite, they yeah, why not?

 

[Celcius]

I'd love a TV only unit. I already have a regular Switch 2 though so I don't think it would make sense to sell it just to get that model though.

 

[DeafTourette]

It defeats the purpose.

 

[Xellos]

If it's cheap enough then yes. $450 is not cheap, so whether it's this or a Switch 2 Lite, getting some version of Switch 2 below $299 would be good.

TV-only would have the benefit of not having a battery, and if it comes after a die shrink passive cooling may be an option. Those would be selling points for me.

As others have already mentioned I don't see much of a market for one unless it's substantially cheaper. I doubt the screen's removal would be enough to knock even $75 off the price.
