No TV-out without dock. Alternatives?

You're assuming there isn't a small processor in the dock that allows it to output to HDMI. Those corded adapters might not work with the Switch.

I think it's been confirmed there is no extra CPU in the dock. HDMI-out wouldn't need additional CPU. I doubt those corded adapters will work with Switch. I had the one with red wires and couldn't get it to do HDMI and USBpower with phone. They're mhl so I don't think they're supported by Switch anyway.

I'd assume any cord that has a USB-C on one end and HDMI on other would work for TV out. But I also expect 3rd parties to create one that does the USB-C to HDMI/USB-C for display and charging as well. Maybe not at launch but I'm sure it will come.

Hell all dock is doing is that. It takes the C interface and breaks it out to 3 USB (2.0 and 3.0) ports + HDMI + AC charger. There is no reason to think 3rd parties won't replicate it for cheap.

Hoping something more portable than the dock will pop up before launch. I don't want to accidentally blow my Switch up with the wrong hub.
