Due to version limitations, Switch 2 may not be able to connect directly to portable monitors via a USB-C cable. To address this issue, we have updated the firmware for certain portable monitors, enabling them to work properly with a direct USB-C connection. If Switch 2 receives future system updates, we will also update the software accordingly.

The SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) for most monitor upgrade software is generally similar; the main difference lies in the firmware being loaded (please pay special attention to Step 4 for details). Here, we will use the GR19BU software upgrade SOP as an example. If you need to upgrade other portable monitors, please click the following link.
