Works, but. Suitable for computer components

TLDR: Buy it if you stream, don't use it to play on your PC like me, I have no interest in streaming, just wanted to play on my PC where I do that can job, reduce it and after some work, return to playback. As mentioned in other posts, it doesn't play 1080p 60fps but 1080p 30fps. However, it does 720p 60fps if that's what you're looking for. Blurry images from newer games are reduced to such a low level. So it was exactly a day for me so take it with a grain of salt as I did a lot of fiddling with the settings to get this working for ME, as soon as it got to my doorstep I got it up and running. I chose to use OBS as per the manual, first note: WILL NOT WORK WITH THIRD PARTY DOCKS. I have a regular dock and a tiny $40 dock that I found on the play store. When connected to a regular Nintendo Switch Dock. It works, but the color contrast on it is so terrible that I had to play around with saturation, contrast and brightness in the Obs software to get a decent level of colourfulness, just not "oh my god I'm blind" brightness and contrast Tested by playing in a few games, first was Monster Hunter. Don't do it for a game like this, the lag was terrible, press and hold A (to mount your dog) which took about 3-4 seconds or something like a decade. When fighting a low level monster to see how it works with registering attacks, same result, press attack button and wait a few seconds then it will get done. Then I played a game like Final Fantasy X. Turn-based combat, you don't have to worry about that. The music I love in Final Fantasy sounded drawn out. Finally, if you're just trying to stream I'd say it should be fine after playing around with the settings to make it look good. Otherwise, if you're like me and just want to play it on your PC while you work. Don't buy this :/ was a big disappointment.
