Absolutely, you can connect your Steam Deck to a monitor! You'll need a USB-C hub that supports HDMI or DisplayPort output. Just plug the USB-C hub into your Steam Deck, connect your monitor to the hub, and you're good to go. It's a great way to play your favorite Steam games on a bigger screen.

Hooked mine up with a simple USB-C to HDMI adapter, works like a charm for most games. Just don't forget you might need external power for the Deck and possibly the hub if it doesn't draw power from the Deck itself.

Yes, but don't expect it to replace your high-end gaming rig. While you can hook up a Steam Deck to a monitor via a USB-C hub with HDMI, keep in mind the Steam Deck's hardware limitations. It's super for indie games and less demanding titles on a larger screen, but it might struggle with ultra settings on the latest AAA games.
