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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

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

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

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

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?!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month 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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

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