I don’t have a Switch 2 yet, but I wanted to upgrade my screen and would like it to be future-proof for a Switch 2 when I inevitably get one.
According to the specs, docked output can be HDR and it can do 120Hz @ 1080p and 1440p and 4K60. Output at best uses either HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 (it’s ambiguous).
Has anyone who’s got an HDR-capable monitor comment on whether the HDR is noticeable from what you’ve seen so far and if HDR gets output regardless of refresh rate? There’s a 1440p monitor in my budget that is HDR400 certified that goes up to 120Hz and beyond, but I’ve also read that the max refresh rate the monitor can handle a 10-bit signal at is 60Hz (not sure if beyond that it does 8-bit + FRC or just doesn’t support HDR). I’m not sure if this is perhaps overkill for a Switch 2 or whether I still have scope for a monitor that will make better use of the S2’s output.
The main launch titles and updates (Mario Kart World, Zelda Breath of The Wild/Tears of The Kingdom, and so on) already support HDR in game.
