  • Hi, this video shows you how to use your Nintendo Switch on a TV or Monitor without HDMI. I show you it working on DVI, A/V composite, Scart and VGA connections.
    If you have the option then use HDMI as it will give you the best and easiest connection. This video just shows that you also have an alternative option if you are using older equipment.
    Many thanks Vince.

    Vince is the kind of guy who enjoys playing around with the settings and hardwares more than playing the actual game.

    Hey My Mate, you may well be the best video/gaming instructor on RUclips! Every word spoken was about the process, not about you. Each set was comprehensive, easy to follow, and quick. Obviously, this is a well prepared video designed to teach, not a black hole for taking away time we'll never get back ! You are rare find, Vince...but you got to show us where, and how, you store all those adapters. Thank you!

      Josh Carriker I'm an American and I know it's something us overprivilaged Americans never got. No latency CRT tvs. Sadly since you scrubs use 50hz, scart is unusable in 60 hz American tvs

    for the HDMI to DVI bit, I'd like to clarify that there are three types of DVI connectors: DVI-A(nalog), DVI-D(igital), and DVI-I(ntegrated, basically DVI-A & DVI-D in one). Because HDMI is digital, you'd all need to make sure that the DVI end of the cable is either DVI-D, or DVI-I. If it is DVI-A, it will NOT work since you'd need a converter box to turn a digital video signal into analog.
    So please double check the cable before buying them!

    Can I ask you a question? I have a Sony 720p HD tv with no hdmi ports, only component and RCA. I bought a converter from hdmi to component. I plugged all five jacks into the converter. I get the sound from the switch but not the video. It is all squiggly lines etc. I know the cables all work because I use them to actually watch tv etc. I am on the correct video channel on the tv so can’t figure out what I am doing wrong. HELP!

    On our TV, we have an HDMI port, but it's kinda busted up and nothing can fit in it. We are currently using A/V, but we noticed that it is kinda blurry. We are thinking about using the VGA port instead. Will this be a better option? We just want the screen to be 1080p (or 720p) and fit on the screen. Thanks!
