I may have missed this while browsing through the various previews and reviews out there. Is it possible to force the Switch to display at 720p while docked to my 1080p display? Resolution isn't that important to me and I'd happily lower it for smoother gameplay.

For now I don't think so. I would like be able to choose.

Yeah. It's likely you will be able to do that through the switch's settings menu, but we don't much about the switch's settings menu yet.

Edit:Reading some switch previews and reviews yes you can force the switch to display at 720p and 480p while docked.

Why would you force an SD resolution?

480p isn't an SD resolution, that would be 480i. I'd rather play in 480p/60 than 1080p/30withfrequentslowdown.
