Why the Nintendo Switch is best enjoyed in TV Mode or at least Table Top Mode

Hello,

in this thread I want to deal with the question why the Switch is best enjoyed in TV Mode or at least Table Top Mode.

The issue is distance and time. In portable mode you are using the device very close to your head. If you are really into your gaming exerience you might hold it up in front of your eyes and that is really bad. Alot of the games on switch are designed to keep you playing for a couple of hours. So it's not unlikely that you have the device close to your head (or other parts of your body such as your reproductive organs and you gut/microbiom) for over 3 hours.

As you can see in this Video, the Switch emits high amounts of EMF, and that is only on the intro screen.

In this scientific work it was measured how cellphones radiation penetrates your skull. Especially for children this is very concerning since the radiation hits the brain tissue, causing oxidative stress, and may lead to brain cancer in the long run.

The best solution is to have the Switch in TV Mode as far away from you as possible with a wired controller.

Take care!

As you can see in the video, the EMF radiation measurement is done from a realistic distance. Alot of measurements are done directly on the source, which expontially increases the value. Now, with that distance and the game only running in the intro, that is really strong exposure. If you have the Switch on your lab/tummy, there is no buffering, like the skull does, it hits your reproductive organs directly, and messes up your microbiome big time.

I can only imagine that the Steam Deck running full clock speed is worse by alot!

Table Top Mode, makes a big difference compared to portable, where you have the device very close to your body. Remember distance is the most critical parameter. If you are not at home and you play in Table Top Mode for an hour that isn't the end of the world. If you have the option TV Mode is a good upgrade. You have even more distance to the device. If you play with a wired controller and have decent distance to the console and TV you can play for hours. Although it is not healthy to spend too much time sitting inside, but thats another topic.
