How do I connect my Nintendo Switch Lite to my TV with HDMI?

Answered by Jeremy Urbaniak

To connect your Nintendo Switch Lite to your TV using HDMI, you will need a few things: an HDMI cable and a television or monitor with an available HDMI port.

1. Start by locating the HDMI port on your Nintendo Switch Lite. It is located on the bottom of the device, next to the USB-C charging port.

2. Take one end of the HDMI cable and insert it into the HDMI port on the bottom of the Nintendo Switch Lite. Make sure it is firmly connected.

3. Now, find the HDMI port on your television or monitor. It is usually located on the back or side panel.

4. Take the other end of the HDMI cable and insert it into the HDMI port on your television or monitor. Again, make sure it is securely connected.

5. Once both ends of the HDMI cable are connected, turn on your television or monitor and select the appropriate HDMI input. This can usually be done using the remote control or by pressing the “Input” or “Source” button on your TV.

6. Now, turn on your Nintendo Switch Lite by pressing the power button. The display should automatically appear on your TV or monitor.

7. If the display does not appear, ensure that both ends of the HDMI cable are securely connected and that the correct HDMI input is selected on your TV or monitor.

8. Additionally, make sure your Nintendo Switch Lite is charged or connected to a power source, as a low battery could affect the connection.

9. Lastly, if you encounter any issues, you can try using a different HDMI cable or testing the connection on another TV or monitor to determine if the issue lies with the cable or device.

Remember that the Nintendo Switch Lite does not come with a dock like the standard Nintendo Switch. Thus, you will need to use a separate HDMI cable to connect it directly to your TV or monitor.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully connect your Nintendo Switch Lite to your TV using HDMI. Enjoy playing your games on the big screen!
