Switch 2 update brings Handheld Mode Boost to sharpen older titles

Nintendo’s Switch 2 firmware update 22.0.0 adds Handheld Mode Boost, which prompts many original Switch games to render at 1080p on handheld by running as if in docked mode. The boost isn’t native 1080p for every title, and some games (e.g., Super Mario Maker 2, Skyward Sword HD) aren’t compatible yet. In Boost mode, Joy‑Con 2 behaves like a Pro Controller, disabling motion controls and touchscreen. The update also brings a new loading animation, GameChat features, and other flight-mode and customization tweaks; full patch notes are available from Nintendo.

Switch 2's Handheld Boost Ups Original Games to 1080p on the Go

A new Switch 2 system update (version 22.0.0) adds Handheld Mode Boost, allowing unpatched original Switch games to run in handheld at 1080p by upscaling from 720p. Early tests (e.g., Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Dragon Quest XI S) show sharper visuals and docked-like detail in handheld, but the feature increases power use and drains battery, disables touchscreen input, and makes Joy-Cons register as a single Pro Controller. Not all games benefit, and patched Switch 2 titles aren’t affected. Enable via System settings > Nintendo Switch Software Handling.

TCL PlayCube: a Rubik’s Cube-inspired pocket projector for on-the-go cinema

An $800, 1080p portable projector with a Rubik’s Cube-inspired 90-degree rotating design, the TCL PlayCube delivers bright image quality for its size and three hours of battery life in bright mode, plus Google TV and flexible mounting for vanlife; it can double as a Bluetooth speaker and recharges via USB-C, but the built-in audio is only decent, standby power drain and occasional UI sluggishness temper the experience, making it a solid but not perfect option versus rivals like the XGIMI Halo+.

"Top Gaming Deals on Prime Day: Monitors, Controllers, and More!"

It's perfectly fine to choose a 1080p gaming monitor over a higher resolution one during Amazon's Prime Day sale, especially if your PC or console specs don't support higher resolutions. Many players still use 1080p monitors, and there are several reasons why it remains a popular choice, including compatibility with older hardware and higher refresh rates. High-resolution monitors are still expensive, and if you don't plan on upgrading your GPU anytime soon, it may be more beneficial to opt for a 1080p monitor with advanced features.

Walmart's Affordable Onn. Streaming Stick Challenges Chromecast

Walmart is reportedly preparing to release a cheaper version of its Onn. Streaming Stick with Google TV, which will stream at 1080p and undercut the existing 4K model in price. The exact pricing is not known yet, but the current 4K model is priced at $19.99. It remains to be seen how Walmart will position the 1080p model, as many consumers have already adopted 4K televisions. The price reduction would need to be significant to make the 1080p model compelling.
