I can’t connect my Nintendo Switch to Samsung TV.

It's not problem with HDMI or dock station.

Hi. In your Switch System Settings, Go to TV output and change the RGB Range from Automatic to Limited. Does that fix the issue? From this thread

Hi, yes I do get a picture but it isn’t recognising the switch as a console. Just an unknown hdmi connection so game mode isn’t turned on automatically etc. Thanks

I am having the same issue. Tried redoing all the settings and nothing from the switch. It works on my other newer TVs so I know it isn't an issue with the cable or docking station. TV is a 2010 Samsung LN32C450E.

Not sure if you’ve solved this but here what I did.

1. Unplug everything from the TV.
2. Remove power plug (I waited 10 minutes).
3. Plug TV in and reset TV by holding power button on remote until Samsung logo comes up.

4. Verify HDMI settings are correct in system settings.

5. Plug in Switch (I used HDMI 1) and power on

at this point the TV quickly detected my Switch and labeled it as such, also restoring the swap to game modeON when the Switch is turned on.

After that I plugged in the rest of the home entertainment items and have had no problems.

Howdy, after a software update my Switch did not connect to my Samsung. Tried everything. Turns out all I needed to do was restart the Switch console and all works fine.

I am having the same problem. Have tried changing RGB to limited and for a second it recognized the input as a Nintendo Switch but never showed a picture. Now it’s back to not recognizing the switch at all. I tried unplugging and plugging TV back in with no success. Very disappointed with Samsung for having this known problem and not fixing it.

I have the exact same issue and still hasn't resolved after trying everything. The Nintendo switch was working last week and it just stopped this week. The only explanation is a bad firmware.

Samsung told me to just wait...

Needless to say, I will not be buying a Samsung tv ever again due to their adware and software that destroys the life quality of their product.

HELP! I have a similar problem and I’ve been looking everywhere for a solution. I have a Samsung (ue55mu7005) .

When i plug the switch into the console, its showing picture first, but after a little while the tv goes black for a bit and then it shows “no signal”. Sometimes it works for hours, but mostly just 1-10 minutes.

I’ve tried all different hdmi ports on the tv, i reset the switch, i changed the settings in the switch for the RGB Range, from Automatic to Limited, I changed resolution to 720 etc as I’d read worked for some. But still, “no signal”. Also, the first time i plugged it in (yesterday) the tv detected it fine, but now it doesn’t find it, but i can still go to the hdmi “channel” and the switch will show (for a period of time, that is)

What can I do?? The switch is brand new and I gather its not the switch that’s the problem...Please help😩

EDIT: I also tried turning off the Apple TV since I read that could cause it, but it didn’t help.

Howdy, I do not think your TV is the problem. The problem is with the Switch. Take it out of the dock, make sure you have downloaded the latest OS for the Switch and then hard restart the Switch. I think it’s the software in the switch for some reason. Once you have restarted the Switch, place it in the dock and you should be good. Let us know how you go. I was just as frustrated at Christmas when this happened to me.

Thanks so much for the tip. So far I only tried the reset where you can keep the game data.

I did have time to try it on a friends tv, same issue. Read your tip and tried the hard reset, first it lost connection, but undocking/docking let us play for a few hours without glitch. Gonna try it home now and see how it goes. Good to hear that its not likely to be the tv since its kinda “new”.

I almost screamed out loud today so I can imagine the feeling of this happening at Christmassy to well 😄

I've tried the options noted above but nothing seems to be working.
I'm connecting it to the one connect box and it recognises a switch has been connected then says it is not getting a signal.
It works fine on my other Samsung that doesn't have a one connect box
Any thoughts or recommendations?

Reboot / restart the switch. Give it time and make sure it has latest software updates then try in the dock again

Tried all that. Still no go. All software is up to date on TV and switch. Done a reboot on both
