Can you plug a steam deck to the tv and use a controller? Cause if not, I don’t want it
Yes? Durh?
Not everyone is terminally online, dude.
This is why people think PC gamers are assholes
Yep. Connect using Bluetooth or via a USB dongle/dock.
Yeah, you can, haha (almost like the switch). You stick it in a dock with HDMI out and add a controller by USB, USB dongle, or Bluetooth.
Sure, but don’t expect incredible graphics on a 4k display. It’s a handheld after all.
What does it go up to? I currently play on 1080p anyways
Hooked up to a TV or monitor it’ll do 4k. You can even use FSR upscaling to actually game at 4K, but there’s still a performance hit and I don’t think any recent games are actually playable in 4K. (Upscaled to 1080P, on the other hand, is a different story.)
Steam Deck + USB type C dock + HDMI cable + bluetooth controller. You’re done
Plugging it into the TV & playing Jackbox games where everyone uses their phones as a controller is a great party trick.
You can do that with just a smart tv though
That’s what I would do with it too. Good question.
The Steam Deck is a slightly funny shaped x86_64 laptop. It has an AMD APU in it. You can hook it up to a monitor, mouse and keyboard and do your taxes on it if you want.
Ah, my kind of fun.
Playing Accounting Tycoon on the Steam Deck.
What’s there not to like?!
