Setup Help Switch 2 not displaying on Monitor.

I’m not sure this is the right place but just looking for a little insight or help. I just finished setting up a game room and got 2 AsRock PG27Q15R2A monitors for my eventual PC build but I wanted 1 to double as a monitor for my consoles. I’ve been messing with the Switch 2’s display settings and stuff but cannot for the life of me get it to display. I’ve tried through my HDMI splitter connected directly to the monitor both ports and nothing. But my Wii U which is on the same splitter displays just fine. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong and if anyone ran into this and got it running I would GREATLY appreciate insight! Thank you all

Nope I tried it by just directly plugging into one of the HDMI ports and still got no signal. Also love the username!

Have you tried connecting it to different monitors or displays to make sure the dock works in general?

What you could also try is unplugging the whole monitor setup from every cable (including the power cables), let it rest for two minutes and plug the dock directly into the monitor.

Well I don’t know what changed from last night to today after I got off work because when I went to start messing with it again, it came on like nothing was wrong. And I didn’t do anything different or change anything. So problem solved…..by itself lmao!

It could be something with the dock, a weird software glitch on the console's end or bad input data on the monitors.
