HDR settings can be a headache to set up properly for the Switch 2 depending on your TV, but here is a walkthrough.
The Switch 2 supports HDR, at least in theory. Where older tech leans on extremes, HDR captures the gradients between extremes better, which creates vivid colors while also ensuring that brighter and darker portions of the image don’t lose finer details. The reality, however, is that the settings the Switch 2 provides to users are nearly impossible to properly configure, even if you follow Nintendo’s instructions to the letter. The result? The upgraded graphics on Switch 2 might appear more washed out than they’re intended to.
Fortunately, YouTube expert HDTVTest breaks down exactly what you need to know to get HDR working to the fullest extent.
The first thing the Switch 2 asks you to do is to adjust the brightness until a portion of the sun image is no longer visible. The problem is that this test only applies to TVs with the option to turn HGiG on, which your set may not support.
