The Best Nintendo Switch Setup Under $500

Happy to see somebody talking about a budget tv for once. I'm sick of people saying to spend $1000 dollars plus and putting people down for going any cheaper. Gaming is for everybody, even us guys who don't have much money.

Watching this after OLED Switch drop is like uff Kevin 😅

[@josephmanjarrez481]

I feel like the "switch pro" is basically going to be a new model that changes a few pieces of hardware, just like the red box switch. I believe that it would be a small release that it would be called the switch still.

[@KokoLoko-km9ep]

Eh, Switch Plus might be a good name, Pro is straight forward

[@misanthropus0]

I bet they will put a newer nvidia processor on it but nothing mind blowing of course. I also bet the report about it being 4k ready will be true but they will use some up scaling solution like the M Classic cable that makes the edges smoother across all 3d games.

[@alvinanis3006]

Switch Pro seriously needs improving on hardware side of things. Needs a camera, bluetooth for headphones, change themes and fixing the joycon drift. If they don't resolve these issues, then it's useless having a new Switch hardware.

[@KokoLoko-km9ep]

@@alvinanis3006 not sure about a camera, Bluetooth for sure, and they really gotta get on the drift, but i would imagine they would want to keep the joycons compatible with the new switch so probably not much hope there

[@alvinanis3006]

@@KokoLoko-km9ep The Vita had a camera and it was made before the Switch lol. I mean the Switch already has an album where you can save screenshots so adding a camera for users to take pics and save it is not a bad option.

I have that same headset, I 100% DO NOT recommend it. If the battery falls below like 70%, it will beep every minute and its super annoying. Completely defeats the purpose of a wireless headset when you pretty much need to keep it at 100% battery to be useful. If it beeped like 10 minutes before it was gonna die that would be fine, but I ignored it and it lasts HOURS.

The MClassic also SEEMS to help with framerate. I played Animal Crossing without it. Framerate was good. With the plug-in, the framerate seemed soooo buttery smooth. I could be wrong, but that’s just how it looked to me

[@thiagocorreiabraga]

The 8Bitdo Pro 2 controller recommended in this video cannot wake up the Switch wirelessly. I think that's worth mentioning for those thinking of buying them. I have its predecessor (the 8Bitdo SN30 Pro Plus) and it is a really good controller, but if I would buy only one controller for the Switch, I would prefer Nintendo's official Pro Controller, even if they costs a little more. The 8Bit Do controllers have a better D-Pad than the Pro Controller (so I find them more comfortable for playing Mario Maker 2, for example) and can be customized via software, but most of the time I prefer to use Nintendo's Pro controller because they can wake the Switch up wirelessly without depending on another controller, connect more easily and are very comfortable for most games.

I can see why people would go this route to have this type of experience with the switch.. I have a similar set up but just need the wireless headset. I saw in the comments that someone mentioned to have the headset connected to the TV instead of the switch 😃👍 it's a good idea cause now I have better options to what headset I want to get. I'm a home theater fan so my set up is WAY more expensive than this but the experience with the switch makes me play it more that my kids 😁 thanks Kevin for the great videos and thanks to the nintendo fans for helping out with other ideas and opinions we all can enjoy. My set up: Samsung Q7 65" with a Samsung Q6 Harman / kardon sound bar with wireless rear speakers for a surround sound and pro controllers . Have fun gaming everyone

[@Project-ZEN.]

I’m trying to build the best smash set up and a set up for tears of the kingdom and this video came in clutch. I went with a 1080p tv and a sound bar and a wired GameCube switch controller. The set up for tears of the kingdom is an oled switch and the headphones and I’m actually loving the set up. It’s expensive but with the amount of fun and hours I’ll sink in the set ups will not compare to how much money was spent. I wish I got a 4k tv but I’m using a 1080p tv from 2011 and I don’t sit that close to my screen and I feel like it was the best move. I plan to keep my main switch docked and the switch oled in handheld cuz of the screen for TOTK. I feel like this is the best option for me.

[@ZenataUSA]

I've got an mClassic and I really don't think it's worth 1/3rd of the Switch's price. It's a noticeable change in some games if you're looking at a side by side, but in practice it's mostly imperceptible. If you're budgeting for a whole setup like this, I think it's definitely a better value to spend that money on a nicer TV or headphones. If you already have those and have money to spend, then sure, go for the mClassic if you want a marginally better picture in some games.

[@PaperBanjo64]

What about 3rd party games? Most Nintendo exclusives look amazing but 3rd party is very hit and miss, some are stunning while others look horrible.

[@annareismith6843]

I have Vizio 4K 43" TV and Vizio 2.1 soundbar. For little more, can get much better quality that is worth it. TV was $300 and soundbar $125 at the time. The mClassic not really needed as my Switch looks great on this 4K TV.

[@TrackerRoo]

Switch Pro isn't coming. I mean did the Wii come out with a version with better hardware post initial launch? The WiiU? Gamecube? Just because Microsoft and Sony have done it doesn't mean Nintendo is going to. They haven't even mentioned doing it. Not one official source mentions even the odd chance of an upgraded version. Best we'll get is a Switch Lite with joy con drift as a standard feature and a neon green Switch with a 50gb internal hard drive.

[@TrackerRoo]

@Wyvern . One time a trend does not set

[@TrackerRoo]

@Wyvern . There's zero reason to say they will though. How far into it's generation are we? With zero word from Nintendo on it. So what evidence is there for anyone to ever think they'd bother when in two years the next gen console will be out? Why waste the time developing something when the life cycle is nearing it's end? How far our was the 3ds before it's upgraded version came out?

[@TrackerRoo]

@Wyvern . Again, one time a trend does not set. And how long do you expect them to crank out Switches until they release the next gen console? Ten years? Twenty? They average six to seven years between console releases. You can look at the history they have with that. Following a set trend the Switch only has a few more years in it at best before they scrap it and do something different. If a Switch pro is coming now is the time to announce it because waiting to do so before announcing the next console would just piss people off

Also are the joy cons going to be the same on both the switch and switch pro

Sony a80j is a simple winner. Best tv upscaling out there making 1080p content look near 4k. “Peak brightness” for SDR is turned on meaning much brighter SDR like hdr in certain ways. Any other upscaling outside of sonys new a80j and A90j is bad.
