Nintendo Switch Modes

As you may know, the Nintendo Switch can be played as a console, a tabletop stand, or a handheld system. For anyone who owns the Switch, which mode do you use the most?

I always play it as a TV console.

Mostly handheld, but the games I've been playing on it work well that way (Picross, Tetris 99, etc). Once I start on games like TLOZ:Breath of the Wild I intend to play it hooked to my TV, because those games deserve large screens.

TV console 99% of the time, unless I feel like playing in bed.

I mostly play Fitness Boxing on it (which requires separating the joycons) and I don't have a convenient TV to attach it to, so I've been mostly playing it in tabletop stand mode. When I play other games, I tend to play it handheld but resting on a surface (I find it uncomfortably heavy to hold up for extended periods).

I switch freely between handheld and TV console mode; I don't think I"ve ever used tabletop stand. It depends on whether I want to sit in front of the TV or be somewhere else, and also a little on what I'm playing (I played Bravely Default 2 almost 100% in TV mode, but Picross I switch back and forth, and Xenoblade Chronicles I played about 50/50.)

Mostly handheld for portability but if I want to use my arcade stick controller I’ll hook it up to the TV.
