Nintendo Switch dock and AC adapter to be sold separately starting May 19th

Nintendo has announced that it will be releasing the Nintendo Switch dock separately starting May 19th 2017. The dock is used to connect the console to a monitor or TV.

The separate release of the console dock is not surprising because it has been requested by Nintendo Switch users since the console released last March. By purchasing a second dock players will be able to connect their handheld console to a second monitor without having to reposition and reconnect the original dock.
