Procedure to Connect Nintendo Switch to a Smart TV
Nintendo Switch consoles have two different models: the original Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch OLED model. However, the connection process for both devices is the same and is outlined below.
Requirements
Before proceeding with the setup, ensure that all the requirements listed below have been met.
- A Nintendo Switch dock
- A USB power cable of Type C
- An HDMI cable
- A Nintendo Switch AC Adapter
- Joystick controllers
Connection Procedure
1. At first, remove the back cover of the Nintendo Switch dock.
2. Attach the AC adapter’s USB Type-C plug to the terminal of the dock notified as AC Adapter.
3. Connect the next end to the Power outlet.
4. Now, bring the HDMI Cable and attach one end to the HDMI Out port of the dock and the other end to the HDMI port of your TV.
5. Fix the back cover and remove the Left & Right Joy-Con controllers from the console.
6. Set up the console in the same direction as the dock, with its screen facing the dock.
7. Now, insert the console into the dock. Once the console is docked, the screen will automatically go off.
8. Power up your TV and navigate to the settings to adjust the input to HDMI.
Note: If the Joy-Con controllers were not initially connected to the console, they need to be registered to function as wireless controllers. This configuration facilitates multiplayer gaming and enhances the immersive experience for solo play.
By following these simple steps, you can set up Nintendo Switch on your smart TV for extended hours of gaming entertainment with flexibility.
FAQ

You can connect the Nintendo Switch without a dock with the help of an HDMI converter. Plug the HDMI Converter into the power source and insert the other end into the Nintendo Switch. Now, affix the HDMI cable to the HDMI port of the converter and connect the other end to your TV. Start playing with the controller after enabling the HDMI source on your TV’s input.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to connect the console to your TV wirelessly, and it doesn’t support the casting feature. On the other hand, you can access the Joy-Con controllers wirelessly when the Switch is docked to your TV.
