    I went to Japan in July 2019 and I was really excited to play my switch with buddies over seas and the dock would not display to any TV there and following my return, the dock failed to project to any TV here.

    Causes video on TV to glitch - unusable

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The first one I bought caused the video on the TV screen to glitch constantly. The image was never still enough or clear enough to reasonably use the Switch. I returned it and exchanged it for a second dock, which had the same issue, although not quite as bad. Either way, I cannot use either of these products and will be returning the second one for a refund. Too bad. Very frustrating.

    The dock works as intended, however I use a tempered glass screen protector and it started to scratch and damage it due to the tight fit, I only used it 3 or 4 times and decided to return it and look for another one.

    Stopped charging my Switch. It'll still dock it to the TV but it won't charge it at all. Even if I try using an official Nintendo charger or plug the insignia charger directly into my Switch, it just refuses to charge.

    The picture looks great, but I can not for the life of me get the audio to work no matter what I do. Maybe I got a defective dock, but I wish I bought a official dock instead.

    I prefer the Nintendo branded dock. This one makes it easy for my one year old to snatch off the TV stand. It works that is all I can say positive about it.

    Slot size does not match Nintendo's

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Like any reasonably cautious switch owner, I have a thin plastic case that protects the screen/body of the switch. I have no problem docking my switch with Ninentdo's. I purchased this one because I wanted a second dock, but the dock is slightly smaller and therefore I could not dock my switch with this product. I returned it immediately because I am not going to take the case off every time I want to dock. It's a good idea, but execution is lacking.

    I used it a few times and it felt like the unit was getting overheated while sitting in the crapped slot. Maybe it is just me, but I would avoid.

    Defective in under a year

    It worked good for awhile, and then it loses signal constantly. I've tried multiple TV's, HDMI cords, etc. It is a bad HDMI port on the dock. Best Buy doesn't stand behind their brand and Insignia wants me to travel to a Best Buy that will take appointments to get it repaired. They have no mail in option during a pandemic in which most Best Buys are closed. So now I have a switch charger I guess?

    So I originally purchased this dock on 1/10/2018. The USB-C charger does not work when plugged into the dock nor does the dock allow the Switch to go into TV mode. I exchanged the dock today, 1/11/2018 and had the exact same issue. This thing is extremely useless

    Insignia makes junk, it was only docking station available at Best Buy as they don’t sell Official Nintendo docking station or other options to dock at another TV without having to unhook all your cableS. No bueno, returned ASAP. Bought official Nintendo docking station and works great!
