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.
Ah, my kind of fun.
Playing Accounting Tycoon on the Steam Deck.
What's there not to like?!
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.
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.)
Yep. Connect using Bluetooth or via a USB dongle/dock.
That's what I would do with it too. Good question.
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
Yes? Durh?
This is why people think PC gamers are assholes
Not everyone is terminally online, dude.
