A feature in iPadOS 17 enables iPads to work with USB-C capture cards. Here's how to use the feature to make your large-screen iPad work as an external monitor for your Nintendo Switch.

This would be great while on vacation.

Neat. What would the use case for this be though? Maybe while riding on a plane?

Yeah. Travel. We were in a cabin for a weekend recently and I had my iPad and we had our switch, would’ve been nice to connect the two. The little screen on the switch is just too small for 2 player games.

If you’re somewhere where there’s sunlight, you could play on this instead of the switch. I don’t know about you, but I can’t see anything on my switch while playing in daylight.

I absolutely know what you mean. I got these for myself, they work awesome:

But it has to be said you pay with a little decrease in image sharpness. Not much, but noticeable if you look closely.

Actually, given the low resolution of aot of Switch games, I find the matte protector is like a layer of physical anti-alasing.

That made me laugh loud :D But yes, it’s right. You can absolutely describe it this way!

That’s neat. A more sensible option despite any loss in quality. Thanks for sharing that.
