First & Easiest Method To Connect Nintendo Switch to TV
First of all, you need to know that there are 3 pieces of equipment that you will need for this guide to be effective and successful.
- HDMI Cable

Wireless Way Of Connecting Your Nintendo Switch To The TV
The Genki ShadowCast project is currently running a crowdfunding campaign. Even though you will need to buy the necessary components, this is the option that comes the closest to allowing you to stream content directly from your Nintendo Switch to any television set. There are no other options available.
Streaming without wires is possible, but in order to do so you will need to make a purchase from the crowd-funded campaign. Although it is possible to utilize AirPlay on an iPhone and cast with Chromecast, none of these functions is integrated into the Switch.
Although this had been proven to work, it might come with a lot of more effort and then at the end of the day, it might not work out. So we definitely recommend you try out the first method.
