There should have been a known issues section, I will list them here from long term usage of steam deck on TV: 1. Upscaling with FSR from 720p to 4k is in many games I tried is more performance heavy that native 1080p 2. Using 4k on steamdeck on 4k resolution lags out the menus(manly when playing other games) 3. Sometimes when starting deck from sleep while docked it has trouble deciding between TV or build-in screen 4. Crashes or not uncommon 5. Nintendo pro controller has tendency to disconnect alot

[@masoncombs7799]

Turning off rumble fixes the pro controller. It a bummer not to have rumble but way less annoying than the disconnects

[@kimura317]

There's a workaround for the Nintendo pro controller issue: disable controller rumble in the game. For whatever reason, this stops the frequent disconnecting for many people.

[@gardiner_bryant]

I have not experienced menu lag at 4K since June of 2022. They've fixed it as far as I can tell.

[@MatthewWilliamsX]

1. What exactly is the comparison here. Is the display natively 4k and 1080(no fsr) is better? Is the "native" 1080 allowing a virtual super resolution of 4k?? Are there 2 different display devices being referred to here??? 2. Is the menu lagging or is the game too demanding at 4k? Is this -only- when the game is also 4k? 3. I've heard of this issue before. I'm surprised that it still has trouble remembering your display preferences. 4. Crashes *are* not uncommon. Certain use cases don't play nice on deck. If you are suffering them often you may need to do some additional tweaking. User discretion is advised. 5. Nintendo... NISM

Great Video, I am doing a lot of docked gaming and loving the choices it provides. Some of my exp highlights , if you are using steam controller with dongle you can even wake up steam deck from sleep by just hitting steam button on controller, like any other console. Older titles with wide screen mods runs flawlessly.

[@jakepearson7403]

I've found that for games that can't update the resolution without restarting, a good workaround is opening chrome in your desired resolution then just closing it

[@Vithigar]

When speaking about controllers and the DualSense specifically it's worth noting that some features of the controller will only work when connected with a wire for supported games. Spider-Man and Deathloop, for example, will use the DualSense adaptive triggers, but only with a wired connection, and only when Steam Input is disabled (they need to be able to communicate directly with the controller without abstraction).

[@Thornskade]

That's on Sony for using a proprietary standard and not providing a dongle, by the way

[@PixelShade]

If you're going to buy a monitor, look for one with USB-C KVM switch with power delivery. That way, you will only need one cable from the screen and you can switch between another computer and the Steam Deck and still use the same mouse and keyboard... I personally have a Gigabyte M27Q, it's almost perfect... It lacks usb-c power delivery, but it does charge 10W... So even if the battery depleting, it's usually enough to keep me happy during a gaming session. :)

[@TheWendellpaulo]

Running games at 720p and Upscaling to 4k using OS FSR actually keeps a good balance between performance and image quality. Nier automata is a good example

[@yearls]

Once I got my hands on a dock, this was the first thing I did. Played the entirety of Rage 2 on my Steam Deck with a PS5 controller and my 42" monitor. Currently enjoying Deep Rock Galactic through the same way. Though at 720p with all settings on Ultra, it runs at a nice smoothe 60FPS. 1080p and it drops below 45 at home base. The dock I got actually has a DP port instead of HDMI, I spent a week trying to find one with a DP port.

[@vasbyt_official]

[@MrDusuke]

So, I'm dying to test this: I've ordered an 4K 13,3 inch OLED portable monitor, that's almost 400 ppi. I will hook with my 4K Gamer Pro dongle to upscale my Steam Deck from 1080p to a crisp upscaled 4K in a beautiful small OLED monitor!! Sounds good right? It will probably arrive in one or two weeks and then I will test is and share the results!

[@lilstewy5091]

I’m trying to do the same, did it end up upscaling

[@MrDusuke]

@@lilstewy5091 yeah it works very well but for some reason to recognize the hdmi signal coming from the Steam Deck you need to use an EDID emulator, it's a small hdmi dongle that converts the signal to standard 1080p signal. I don't need it for my Nintendo Switch but for the Steam Deck it requires. Luckily it works perfectly than and no input lag.

[@Xzqwerty2324zX]

4:15 had to pause and just take a moment to appreciate this beauty.

[@TheRetarp]

I use a 2 meter (6.6ft) long usb-c extension cable and 90 degree connector, both from JSAUX. This along with the official steam deck dock. This combo works quite well and I don't have to deal with pairing or configuring controllers as I'm simply using the steamdeck handheld instead! As a bonus I also get ethernet which means I can use steam link to use the steam deck as a steam controller with minimal lag to my desktop machine running 4k. Games like Talos Principle and Control work great for this! (BeamNG Drive too when it wants to cooperate lol) Until the December 2022 patches, connecting the steam deck to my TV flat out didn't work but now it's nearly perfect in game mode which is rather nice. Deskop mode is still stuck at 30Hz. Added Google Chrome to steam and I use that to stream youtube sometimes. It works well but at 4k it spins up the fan quite a bit and occasionally the audio drops out (although I think that is a Linux hdmi bug). BTW shot out for use of DOOM64! I just so happen to be on map 20-somthing playing the Steam version on the deck!

So can you use a USB-C to HDMI cord to connect TV to SteamDeck and just play like that? Using the SteamDeck as the controller?

[@artichokeechobee]

PLAY YOUR DECK ON YOUR TV. It straight-up replaces consoles. I bring my Deck to people's houses with a USB-C hub and play Jackbox games or beat'em ups like Shredder's Revenge. When everyone goes to bed at my place, I'll bask in the glow of the TV and play blockbuster titles from my couch. It rules. Way better experience than dealing with a laptop or something hooked up to your TV, or paying the Console Tax for games you've owned on Steam for years. I play docked using my old PS4 controllers that are otherwise unused in my house. Only downside I've occasionally experienced is the bluetooth signal isn't always strong, and I'm not sure the cause. Regardless, not enough of a problem to stop me. Warning, JSaux and cheaper Hubs / Docks conflict with CEC connections. I use a NUXOA dock with my TV's CEC connection and there are no conflicts.

[@TheBannanaThief]

I'm using some 7in1 adapter with usb-c extension, allows me to easily switch between switch and steam deck with single cable.

It's mostly a fun tinker-toy for me to mess around with, but I would love to have a nice dock setup for when I need to dig around in desktop mode. One big thing I got out of this video was an overwhelming sense of loss and regret at having given away my late-era Sony WEGA trinitron TV a couple years ago. Really wish I had that for some sweet retro gaming on my deck. It would be perfect for that.

[@MulletDeath]

Is it possible yet to configure the scaling in desktop mode by individual display configuration? I'm using the SD as my daily driver now. When docked it's hooked to my 4k 55" display and the default scaling for that is totally unusable. But scaling it properly means you have to manually change it back when undocked.

[@AndehX]

Claiming that "games look better rendered at 1080p and then upscaled to 4k, than they do when rendered at native 4k" is completely subjective, and is down to your personal opinion. The game assets are made for a specific resolution (whether it be 1080p or 720p or whatever) when you run the game at 1080p and scale it to 4k, all the pixels are blurred together, to create what you perceive as "better" When you run the game at the displays native resolution, no scaling is necessary and the pixels are presented as intended by the games developer. A good example is when you try to scale a old SNES game, linear scaling will blur everything, and produce what you perceive as "better". In reality, most people who love retro games, and pixel art games in general, will prefer the un-scaled, un-blurred look.

[@tomba27]

A miracast how to would be grate. I think to show(off) the device is easier via miracast instead of wiring everything up when your on the go. Latency doesn't matter if you share your screen. Multi-player does require anyway more than just a regular USB C hub

You need some kind of USB-C hub... if it's a hub, a dock, etc it doesn't matter. The hub needs HDMI out and you (probably) want it to support USB Power Delivery as well. The Steam Deck itself has no HDMI port. I suppose it's possible to buy a USB C to HDMI cable (if those even exist) but it's gotta have either HDMI or DisplayPort capabilities. I haven't tried this, but it says it should work with the Deck. amzn.to/3Wjia34 (affiliate link)

If I am running 1080p on the deck with FSR and pushing to a 4k TV, will I need a 60hz capable dock? Mostly want to do this for multiplayer indie games and emulation, not AAA. 2. Are you familiar with the fairly new Syntech Dock? It looks interesting and capable. 3.

While it is a nice idea to have it be the new gaming console. A. It needs the dock and Hdmi cord. B. Output is only 800p and 4k tv will look bad. Literally a Nintendo switch will look better. C. You can upscale menus but nobody cares about that. D. Upscaling technology is not good enough or powerful enough to make 800p to 4k look good enough. If you want 1080p then why not just get a ps4 or xbox one? Steam deck is better for handheld only. But if you do want a bigger screen without worrying about resolution or upscaling there is Nreal Air glasses. It's not VR. But AR. Your screen becomes 130" larger with oled display technology.

The steam deck is one of the weirdest devices out there because unlike all the other devices it comes pre-hacked allowing you to access a desktop mode without you having to do anything and then secondly you can connect any control you want to it whereas the other ones like the Xbox and the PlayStation they forced you to use specific controllers and so you don't get to choose which one you want.
