10 Things You Didn't Know Your Nintendo Switch Could Do
9. Reduce Screen Glare By Changing One Setting
The obvious appeal of owning a handheld device is the ability to take it out with you and play it on the go.
This means you could end up having a gaming session while the sun is beating down upon your screen, but unfortunately, everything from the PSP to the 3DS has suffered from severe screen glare under these conditions, making it difficult to decipher the on-screen action and forcing you to hold the device at an awkward angle.
The Switch is no different here, and while you can't 100-percent fix the problem (unless you go inside) you can make it a bit more tolerable by adjusting one simple option.
Just head into your Switch's settings and disable "auto-brightness". Doing so will allow you to brighten your screen beyond the limit that's imposed by the auto-brightness function (the same is also true in reverse - you can make your Switch even dimmer without auto-brightness). And a brighter screen is easier to see.
Your screen will still be difficult to see on sunny days - there's no getting around that - but this will at least improve the situation.
