Why bring a monitor around with you when you already have a laptop screen?If your going to spend $$ for a capture card, why not buy a monitor for the Switch instead?...unless you want to capture gameplay to upload.
Elgato Game Capture HD60S is what I have. But I use OBS for viewing the video rather than Elgato's software because Elgato's "Instant Gameview" funnily enough has much higher latency than OBS' full screen view, tested with Fast RMX which was unplayable with Elgato's software. But YMMV.hello,
I have a nintendo switch and a laptop, I wonder if there is a way to display my docked switch on my laptop screen
thanks
I'm looking for that too: is the other '4k' version any better latency wise for elgato cards? Do you need a powerful computer if you don't stream?Elgato Game Capture HD60S is what I have.

I also have a JumpGate/JumpDrive portable dock (should be brick safe) so the entire setup is pretty compact.

OK thanks.4K version of what?
Nah. Actually when streaming a capture card you don't need that powerful specs anyway, because your computer doesn't have to run the game, capture it and encode the video, it only has to encode the video.
OK thanks.

My logic would be that outpouting 1080p for a 4k card would be even better latency wise.
How perceptible is the lag? 0.5s? less than that?
It should have lower latency just due to being PCIe but supported resolution has little to do with it.OK thanks.

Not perceptible at all for me unless I'm looking for it. Certainly doesn't affect my gameplay. But everyone's tolerance for that is different.
500ms would be awful.
