You can't just connect a digital video out to an analog input with a passive adapter.

As far as I'm aware, the Switch doesn't provide analog video out.

Monitor is 1080P ?

there is a guy on youtibe that does it

It's not a matter of resolution. The Switch can't output analog video, and the monitor most likely can't use digital video over a VGA connection.

i set the switch so the resoultion is auto

Show me. Is it a passive adapter? I very much doubt so. He most likely has an active converter.

I did ask for it because I'm not entirely sure if it supports it or not.
No idea why you're so "

just saying you seemed to think the opposite so i just provide some evidence that disproves your claim

 

[gnmmarechal]

You didn't prove me wrong. Unless I'm mistaken, that doesn't work with all monitors, as many can't use the signal the Switch outputs.

That was a childish remark. You can provide evidence, but avoid coming off as a prick, you know?

ok

Essentially, if digital video over VGA isn't supported (it isn't standard, chances are it isn't), you won't be able to use it.
I was not mistaken, as far as my research has shown me.
There's no passive adapter that can convert digital to analog.
