HDR is an amazing tech that makes colors more vivid on Nintendo Switch 2. It was a feature missing from the original Nintendo Switch even though competing consoles were going all in on HDR. With the Nintendo Switch 2, HDR is finally here but not without some fine-tuning. Without proper settings, colors can appear oversaturated and unpleasant to look at. Nintendo Switch 2 handles HDR and color conversion internally. However, many of the modern TVs do the same thing which means often double processing of HDR breaks the image or lowers color quality. To solve this, manufacturers created HGIG (HDR Gaming Interest Group), which lets the console take control of HDR tone mapping for more accurate visuals. Here’s how to enable it on your TV and Nintendo Switch 2. Related Can Switch 1 Beat PS2 Lifetime Sales?
