Hey guys,
I'm looking at buying a Nintendo Switch, and was wondering what the best options for a monitor would be?
I don't want to spend a fortune, but would also like a high-quality monitors…
Also, what specifications must a monitor have in order for it to work with a Nintendo Switch? I'm a noob with all this…
Thanks so much
With my setup, I think a monitor makes the most sense…
Switch can do upto 1080p at a 60Hz max refresh rate making even a cheap 1080p monitor with HDMI meeting your requirements
Why?
For casual games on a switch, there is nothing a monitor offers over a TV, while there's a lot a TV offers over a monitor (price, size, viewing angles etc).
Monitors are worth it for PC gaming because of stuff like freesync, 144hz refresh rates and lower input lag.
But for a switch? It's capped at 1080p 60hz and input lag is irrelevant for 95% of games.
All you need is a 1080p TV with HDMI input, and you're good. 4k is also a good option for future proofing, as 1080p scales super well on 4k monitors/tvs.
Also a budget/size preference would help too.
Go on Ebay, search "Sony TV" then filter by used and bam you get a 1080p TV for ~$90.
Do you already have a monitor?.. I just used to have them connected to the hmdi port at the back of the monitor while my PC was connected to the display port. So I would just change at will and have either the switch or PC displayed on the screen. I had this set up on dual monitors (two switches) and it was great.
So you need a hmdi port at the back of the monitor.
Be sure to get a monitor with built in speakers.

Are you sure you are looking for a monitor and not a TV?
