Nintendo Switch 2: HDR setting causes problems
The Nintendo Switch 2 can make certain games really sparkle on suitable screens with its HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology. But in dock mode, this color and contrast feature can become a boomerang if the games don’t cooperate.
The Reddit community keeps reporting that some games on the Switch 2 show washed out colors and poor contrast. If you are also affected by this, you should ensure that only compatible games are displayed with HDR. This is the default setting for all games. You can find this option at System settings → Display → TV → HDR display & HDR adjust.
According to commenters on Reddit, the change makes many games look significantly better on the external screen. Because when the Switch 2 tries to display games with HDR without HDR support, the result looks pretty poor on many displays.
Even if it hasn’t bothered you so far, it’s worth visiting the settings – so you can check for yourself how the HDR support affects your TV and which version you prefer for your games.
