Can you plug a steam deck to the tv and use a controller? Cause if not, I don't want it

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.

Playing Accounting Tycoon on the Steam Deck.

What's there not to like?!

[–] SankaraStone@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

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.

Steam Deck + USB type C dock + HDMI cable + bluetooth controller. You're done

Sure, but don't expect incredible graphics on a 4k display. It's a handheld after all.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What does it go up to? I currently play on 1080p anyways

[–] hedgehog@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago

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.)

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Yep. Connect using Bluetooth or via a USB dongle/dock.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

That's what I would do with it too. Good question.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Plugging it into the TV & playing Jackbox games where everyone uses their phones as a controller is a great party trick.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You can do that with just a smart tv though
