Switch has some nice RPGs that has had me sometimes waver in getting one. However, I never liked the price premium of it being handheld when I was only ever going to use it docked thinking that a pure console version might be cheaper. It is now 2025 with Switch 2 being $450. My calculus has changed, though I still would only ever use it docked, I am considering a Switch 2 slightly more than I ever did Switch 1, for these reasons.

1. Backwards compatible, so all older RPGs exclusive to Switch 1 and all newer RPGs exclusive to Switch 2 will be available to me.
2. Future proof for me. I am still gaming at 1080p both console and PC. Someday I will find a relatively cheep 1440p 32inch TV and cheep 1440p 22 inch monitors.
3. $450 is honestly not that expensive an option for the power Switch 2 offers, imo being somewhere between PS4 Pro and PS5. PS5 is $500.

Might still wait until after all this tariff nonsense is gone.

32inch is computer monitor size. I'm not sure they even make tvs that small anymore but even for a PC monitor if you're going that size you would want 4k.

While 1440p is the current standard for PC, if you want to upgrade your tv you should really be looking at a full 4k. I'm pretty sure they hardly make 1440p tvs now.

Of course if you don't want to spend much you can just get a cheap 27inch 1440p 120/144hz PC monitor and it would cover both your needs for gaming at least.
