The Nintendo Switch OLED HDMI update would be causing errors on some televisions.
For the past few months, some players have been reporting an error on their Nintendo Switch OLED that caused sudden blackouts of the signal, with a black screen and no audio, while playing from TV with the console attached to the dock. This is a similar error to other users who have experienced intermittent screen flickering or weird error sounds, but whether or not they share a solution is unknown. This specific case does not seem to have a solution included in the usual official user manuals, so a user has shared his own method to fix this strange error.
As this user explains through the Reddit forums, if you experience a similar error, the first thing you have to do is use an HDMI 1.4 cable. It turns out that, although Nintendo does not specifically mention it, the Nintendo Switch OLED dock has been updated from version 1.4 (the one on the original Switch) to version 2.0. Similarly, the HDMI cable that comes with the console is 2.0.
theoretically there is no change in operation or performance of the console to use one or another HDMI, simply 1.4 is already so old that it is more profitable to make a 2.0. The thing is, apparently protocol 2.0 allows you to send a series of extra metadata that can be misinterpreted by some TVs and cause errors like the ones already mentioned. So using an HDMI 1.4 cable should fix the problem.
next generation nintendo switch
Nintendo continues to actively and passively deny that there will be a review of Nintendo Switch with better specifications capable of offering 4K output, contrary to all the rumors and leaks. In recent months it seems to be betting more on a new generation than on a simple review, it would be Nintendo Switch 2. Would you buy it?
