Actually, while you can connect it directly using an adapter like someone mentioned, I found you might not get the best experience without the dock. The official dock is designed to support the Steam Deck's output capabilities better, including charging while you play.

Yep, you totally can! All you need is a USB-C to HDMI adapter. Just plug the USB-C end into your Steam Deck and the HDMI end into your TV. It's a simple plug-and-play setup, so you don't have to wait for the official dock to enjoy your games on a bigger screen.

No dock, no problem. Just get an adapter.
