If you are planning to buy steam DOCK, don't. It has been a complete shitshow.
Updates fails dozen times before finishing without crashing. Sometimes you need to disconnect power, so it switches to deck power for the update process even start and same trick works, if the dock refuses to see the external displays. Connect power back after it spasms in the right direction.
30 euro garbage from local supermarket works better.
I have to say that the steam dock never gave me a single issue with a constant use since around launch, so your experience may vary.
Yeah. Same for me. I do have issues from time to time that my monitor isn't recognized, then I have to disconnect and even switch off power to the display completely before trying again.
But that happens maybe once every few weeks.
No problems with mine in the past 4 months since I got it.
