    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.

          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.)

      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.

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

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