The Switch 2's super sluggish LCD screen is 10 times slower than a typical gaming monitor and 100 times slower than an OLED panel according to independent testing (www.pcgamer.com)

That doesn't bode well for a high refresh rate screen

Edit - 120hz is only in docked mode and with a compatible 120hz screen, although the screen also supports 120hz at 1080p. I bet that will feel incredibly different than handheld mode per the article's quoted refresh rates of the actual screen.

120hz vs 30 is a massive difference in terms of perceived fluidity.

I don't have a switch. From what I gather, the dock is just an USB C to HDMI dongle with extra USB ports, correct?

Does docked mode performance also trigger when an USB charging cable is plugged in? From what I gather the main issue why handheld mode is lower performance is the battery consumption.

If it does, does it then display 1080p@120hz on the integrated screen?

Can say from experience, its a lot smoother while docked. That said, performance in handheld mode isn't problematic, it's just (unsurprisingly) less smooth.
