Homebrew HDMI for Switch Lite

Yup, it's called getting a Switch OG/OLED/2. There is this mythical mod that turns the 3.5mm headphone jack into a mini HDMI out, but they aren't even taking preorders it looks like https://retroremake.co/products/super5-oled-diy-hdmi-beginner-kit-1
That is the only one as far as I'm aware, and it isn't really ideal because the screen is actually 1080p so you get a slightly fuzzy image in handheld mode (as reported based on images that have been posted online)
It says it can do 1080p output over HDMI, it's not clear if this is 720p being upscaled to 1080p or if it's native 1080p but I am assuming the former. Since the HDMI out is just mirroring the screen output. That is honestly less of an issue for me personally because the primary benefit of the Switch Lite is portability, and just being able to have *any* TV out at all for the odd game of multiplayer Smash, Mario Kart or Mario Party is "good enough" and you will probably be playing in handheld mode for the most part anyway. But having to sacrifice the handheld experience to achieve TV out is just ew.
Obviously that's far from ideal, hopefully with CFW it will be possible to enable true 1080p output on both the screen and HDMI out (at the cost of battery life) but we won't know until devs have their hands on it.

It should be possible to enable docked mode output on Switch Lite, the SoC is the same Mariko as on v2 and OLED, it's just missing a 25 cent chip. But for whatever reason nobody has done so yet.
 
With how cheap a dockable unit is these days, there's really no reason to. sysDVR isn't HDMI but probably your best bet.
