Unfortunately, you can't use the Insignia™ USB-C to HDMI Adapter to connect your Nintendo Switch directly to your Samsung notebook laptop to use it as a monitor. The HDMI ports on laptops are typically output-only, meaning they send video signals out to an external display rather than receiving them. To use your laptop as a monitor for your Nintendo Switch, you would need a capture card. Here’s how you can set it up: 1. Purchase a Capture Card: - Look for a USB capture card that supports HDMI input. Popular brands include Elgato and AVerMedia. 2. Connect the Capture Card: - Plug the capture card into a USB port on your laptop. - Connect the HDMI cable from your Nintendo Switch dock to the HDMI input on the capture card. 3. Install the Software: - Install the capture card software on your laptop. This software will allow you to view the video feed from your Nintendo Switch. 4. Set Up the Switch: - Dock your Nintendo Switch and turn it on. - Open the capture card software on your laptop to see the Switch’s display. This setup will allow you to use your laptop as a monitor for your Nintendo Switch. If you need any further assistance, feel free to ask!
