For those who don\u2019t know, VRR will change a TV\u2019s refresh rate in real-time to match a game\u2019s framerate, resulting in a smoother experience. It\u2019s certainly a nice option to have and Switch 2 owners can make use of it right now\u2026depending on how they play.<\/p>\n<p>The Switch 2 does support VRR, but only in handheld mode. Before Switch 2 launched there was talk of VRR support both docked and handheld, and even Nintendo\u2019s on FAQs pointed to that being the case. Things were changed shortly before launch and VRR was shifted to handheld use only, and we\u2019re still wondering why.<\/p>\n<p>We know that the Switch 2 dock is capable of VRR, yet Nintendo has blocked it off. While we never got an official explanation for that, it seems like Nintendo still has some kinks to work out, and they\u2019re looking to do that right now. Nintendo has posted a job listing for for a display engineer with experience in troubleshooting display protocol\/VRR issues between HDMI and DisplayPort signaling. While not proof positive that Switch 2 will get docked VRR support in the future, it at least leaves us with some hope.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to snoop through the job listing itself, you can check out the full details <a href=\"https:\/\/careers.nintendo.com\/jobs\/4101432009\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the introduction of the Switch 2 Nintendo fans got their first taste of VRR, or Variable Refresh&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":681284,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-681283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=681283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/681284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=681283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=681283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=681283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
