Adapter for 2k resolution ?

[cruczen]

Hey, I have a 2K 144hz monitor and want to play the switch with my monitor. Is there any adapter or other way to play it in 2k and 30 or 60 fps ?

It should just work. Obviously the Switch can't handle higher resolutions but there are HDMI upscalers that try to smooth out edges on polygons and such if that's what you're after.

For 60 fps you need to hack it and use individual mods/cheats.

You can try Marseille mClassic or PhotoFast 4K.

If your 2K means the same as 1440p, then the mClassic is what you want. I really liked how it looked on my 1440p monitor before I 'upgraded' to 4K.

mClassic can upscale 480/720/1080p to 1440p at 60 Hz. 4K is more difficult, as you need another device to throttle the signal to 30 Hz (which is not necessarily a huge downgrade, as many Switch games only run at 30 FPS). And most 4K TVs do not report 1440p as a supported resolution (some may accept 1440p with an EDID emulator, but many won't show 1440p at all), so the mClassic will only go up to 1080p60 on them.
