Some games do require tweaking and fumbling around in the settings, so it's not always a case of just booting up and assuming you're getting the best available for your larger display.
It's worth remembering that you're never actually adding any processing or graphical oomph while docking your Steam Deck, so you're still restricted by the hardware limitations of the Deck itself. The same can be said for FreeSync support, which again is en route but not currently available. An update is coming to fix this issue but still isn't live at the time of writing. For example, running Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus or Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection was not only seamless but also actually looked pretty good.Ĭurrently, the Valve Steam Deck Docking Station supports up to 4K 60Hz or 1440p 120Hz, and can offer multi-monitor support as long as you use both the HDMI and DisplayPort at once (rather than two HDMI). For anything that's Verified for Steam Deck, it'll automatically adjust the settings to get you the best experience for your TV or monitor.
The Valve Steam Deck Docking Station is easily the best option for offering a plug-and-play experience for the Steam Deck. (Image credit: Future/Sam Loveridge) Performance The fact it comes with a charger, something that can't be said for almost any of its rivals, means that you can keep the Docking Station setup wherever you need it to be, without having to detangle your wires to take the Steam Deck on the go. It handily comes with its own power supply - the same charger as comes with the Steam Deck itself - and then has a USB-C cable that comes from the rear to go into the top of your Steam Deck for connecting it to the Dock itself. There's also an Ethernet port, and USB-C port for power. There are three USB 3.1 ports, one HDMI 2.0, and one DisplayPort 1.4 (something that's missing from the majority of rivals to the official Dock). It lacks any branding too, so it lets the Steam Deck just exist as part of your desktop or living room setup.Īround the back of the Dock, there are all the ports that you'll probably ever need. There's a lip to stop the Steam Deck sliding forward too, which doesn't obscure the screen in any way. The design is well thought out, with a groove in which to sit the Steam Deck itself, and rubber undersides to keep it firmly in place. The Valve Steam Deck Docking Station is a neat little device, effectively working as a shelf to hold your Steam Deck whilst simultaneously offering up all the various ports you'd need to connect it to a gaming TV or gaming monitor.
