The Nintendo Switch’s built-in 화면 is great for portable play, but sometimes you want a bigger 디스플레이 without needing a TV. Portable monitors solve this problem, letting you enjoy your games on a 13-to-17-inch 화면 anywhere. This 가이드 covers how to choose and use a portable 모니터 with your Switch.

Three Key Selection Criteria

1. 화면 Size and 해상도

Portable monitors range from 13.3 to 17.3 inches. The Switch outputs up to 1080p, so a 13–15.6-inch Full HD 모니터 is the ideal match. Smaller models (13–14 inches) are lighter and more travel-friendly.

2. 연결 Type

There are two ways to connect a portable 모니터 to your Switch:

• Single USB-C 연결: If the 모니터 supports USB-C video input (DisplayPort Alt Mode), a single 케이블 handles both video and power. No dock needed. This is the cleanest setup.
• HDMI 연결: Use a compact HDMI adapter to connect the Switch to the 모니터’s HDMI port. This works with any 모니터 but requires both an HDMI 케이블 and a power 케이블.

3. Power Supply

Most portable monitors can be powered by a USB PD 배터리 pack or AC adapter. A 20,000mAh+ power bank can keep both the Switch and 모니터 running for several hours away from a wall outlet.

Summary
