In settings you can change to 1080

No, you need a converter box.

Think 720p is still better then 1080I tho. 720p handles fast images better and in games you have that more then watching regular tv

Switch doesnt support interlaced resolutions currently

No, you need a converter box.

Where ?
cant see results like "HDMI 1080p to 1080i converter box" or "simple HDMI res converter box including 1080i output option", at Amazon, eBay..

 

[Pippin666]

Sorry, you are right. You need a "scaler" that supports HDMI output to 1080i. But I think it is hard to find a HDMI to HDMI scaler.

Okay, thanks for all answers.
I'll research a resolution converter box on all shop sites.

This one upscales to 4k from 720p.

the Seiki upvision's price was 79,09 CAD (about 51,50 EUR) and it exceeds.

Is that can downscale ?

If your tv also supports 720p that would be the better option. Interlacing is a thing of the past.
