Hey all!
My main gaming desktop is down for maintenance, which gets me thinking more about my steam deck.
Does anyone have any experience out putting to a monitor? What resolution do you use?
The SD’s strength is still limited, so what kind of resolution/refresh rate can it reasonably output?
Thanks in advance for your insights!


The default behavior of the Deck in game mode is to output a native resolution signal to the monitor but still run games at 1280x800 and upscale with FSR.
You can alter the resolution the games will run in via the properties for each game. Naturally what resolution you can run a game well at is going to vary wildly by game.
In desktop mode it will behave more like a normal PC and just output at the resolution you select just like on any other desktop PC.
