Cooke 2,026 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 This is actually quite handy. My RV has a USB powered monitor with USB C video in. The Switch just plugs in with a C to C cable and it thinks it's docked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,902 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Is it really 'docked' though? You're probably still playing with the same limitations that happen in handheld mode, but on a larger display. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is powered and charged by the monitor as long as the monitor is using a powerful enough usb power adapter. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the video out from through the USB C was not a direct to C output but to HDMI (the protocol)... Did that change with an update or something? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
