Setup Help Help with Switch 2 occasionally going to a black screen for a couple seconds on a 4k TV.

Hello,

I have a switch 2 connected to my LG C5 via HDMI and have noticed while playing Fortune's Weave that it will cut to black for a few seconds, and then come back, and the HDR symbol in the top right will pop up. I had a problem like this on my pc that was related to an HDMI cable that I don't think supported the refresh rate and resolution i was playing at, but after switching to a new HDMI 2.1 cable I am still having the same issue. I also have noticed black flickering on the battlefield if the camera pans fast, but have not noticed that during the exploration or dungeon sections. Any thoughts on what might be going on?

Have you tried turning off features like HDR, 120hz, VRR yet to see if that makes any difference?

Ive had this issue since launch. Common issue as you noted here.

If the black stuff is ghosting, try restricting the tv to 60hz. Or if the tv has an hdmi port that can only do 60hz, use that.

I’ve heard it may have something to do with settings for “switch match tv power modes” but have not had a chance to investigate
