We’ve seen numerous reports online of people hooking up their Nintendo Switch 2 to a TV and finding that the picture is a little washed out. This is because with HDR, there are a lot of variables, including Chroma, the HDMI software settings and other technical things hidden away in your TV’s menu.
The settings you may need to tweak will vary depending on what TV model you have, but the video goes over five different options that might work for you, depending on your setup. When you go through the initial HDR setup, there is also a slider that only appears when you press Y on the final test image. This can help adjust things more easily if you find your picture is only a little bit sub-optimal.
One of the common fixes in the video is to find the HGIG setting on your television. When enabled, your TV tries to handle all of the HDR processing independently. When it’s off, Switch 2 handles HDR itself, which can be better than having both units try to do the processing at the same time. This Reddit thread outlines how to disable this on a variety of different television sets.
