A lot of games on Switch go from 720p portable to 1080p docked; that's a 2.25 times increase in pixel count. Stuff like shadows or draw distance are also sometimes better in docked mode.

The visible difference just seems less because the lower resolutions in portable mode are mitigated somewhat by the smaller screen.

Fair point.  720p on a 7 inch has good density.  1080p on a 55 inch, not so much.  I believe native 1440p is the sweet spot for TV play.  

It will be interesting to see where Switch 2 lands in docked mode; 1080p made sense for the current Switch, for a device of its power level releasing in the time of PS4 and Xbox One. For its successor, launching presumably in 2025 and with a generational leap in power, you'd expect significantly higher.

Complicating matters is the possibility it employs DLSS.

Gonna be interesting to see for sure.
