I connected my switch to my LG C8 Oled TV and noticed that it doesn't seem to use full YCbCr 4:4:4 or RGB. On the intro screen to Zelda Links Awakening, the purple color of the egg is pixelated and I can see that the girls red belt in the intro is also very pixelated. The colors seems to be compressed. I have set the TV's input to PC as you are supposed to do to get full uncompressed colors. Anyone know if it is possible to get full YCbCr 4:4:4 or RGB output from the switch?

Sounds like your TV is blowing up the 1080P output to 4K

I can't imagine the Switch is doing chroma subsampling at 1080p. It is very likely using limited RGB range by default but usually that isn't too visible.
