For those who play Switch 2 in TV mode, does the screen you use it on support the various features the console offers such as 120Hz, 4K, etc?

Yeah while my TV does support 120Hz/4K/VRR I did end up accidentally playing for months using an old HDMI cable lmao

Definitely a noticeable difference when I got a proper HDMI 2.0

Does that not come with the Switch 2?

Not sure; I moved and the cables got mixed up. Ended up just buying a new one.

Yes. 4k, 120 fps and vrr for a good 5 years now.

I would love to buy a S2 home station with more power. Ain't happening, just wishful.

Switch 2

1080p 60hz right now is all. It's an older TV in the family that wasn't being used regularly. Thankfully, it's 50 inches.
I had a 4K TV for over 5 years, and it died on me in the summer. Hoping to get a new 4K TV this year or at least in 2027. If I get one around Black Friday or Cyber Monday, I want to check the model numbers and hopefully not get a Black Friday model unless it seems worth the risk.

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

Yeah my old 1080p TV died on me last December; it lasted 11 years though so can't complain too much, especially as I was able to replace it with a  4K OLED that supports 120Hz, VRR, all that good stuff, which was on sale for half price cos it was the 2025 model and they were clearing them out to make room for the new 2026 models.

1080p/60 is still fine IMO, but I'm a fussy bastard so I wanted to take best advantage of my new console.
