According to experts, if you adjust the dynamic tone mapping, Switch 2HDR performance of docking mode. The high dynamic range is now standard on most latest monitors and TVs, so it expands the color range and bit depth to improve image quality. Switch 2 supports HDR in both handheld and docking mode, which is generally positive. But many users have criticized how the HDR of the console looks like when docking.
Many fans have already tried to find modifications. Recently, a group's player found that it would be helpful to disable SWITCH 2's HDR for incompatible software. It helps to preserve the battery life while forced to a game that does not support high dynamic range with high dynamic ranges. Now some experts have proposed more technical solutions.

Nintendo apologizes for switch 2 'error'.
Nintendo apologized for the marketing 'error' and false some of some fans' excited switch 2 features.
YouTube Channel HDTVTEST explained why switch 2 games are often washed and excessive. This problem comes from the default brightness and white settings of the console. Basically, these adjustments are optimized for dynamic tone mapping settings known as HDR Game Interest Group (HGIG). In short, HGIG improves the communication between the game and the display to help HDR adjustment better. The player uses a monitor with HGIG-InScucTianbing TV or a switch 2, and often makes the most of the brightness and white degree. The result is an image that is flat and excessive in the game.
EXPERT describes how to modify HDR of Switch 2
Vincent Teoh, an HDTVTEST maker, explained how the player solves the HDR problem of switch 2 on the monitor and TV. The first step is to enable HGIG mode through the dynamic tone mapping setting of the connected display. Luckily, this feature is already activated in most latest game displays. Next, the maximum TML (tone map brightness) of the console should be set to 1,000 nits. This is adjusted by completing the Double-Sun Brightness test that brightens the sun until the user disappears. Finally, paper white brightness should be set to about 200-300 knits.

Players with HGIG-Incincible displays can still improve HDR of Switch 2. Setting the maximum TML to about 1,000 nits and adjusting the white luminance to 200 nit is often enough to optimize performance. But as TEOH recommends, switching to a display that supports HGIG is the best way to get the most accurate HDR tuning in Switch 2.
TEOH also offers some tips for improving the image quality of Switch 2. First, it is recommended to switch the system theme to “default dark” to prevent the automatic brightness limit on the OLED screen. It also proposed to keep HDR output as “compatible software only”, which has already adopted many environments of the community. Finally, he recommends disabling the screen reduction. Most current generation displays resist images thanks to the latest panels and built -in automatic dying.
