Hooking up the Steam Deck to a monitor is super easy! You just need a USB-C to HDMI cable or a USB-C docking station that supports HDMI output. Plug the USB-C end into your Steam Deck and the HDMI end into your monitor. Make sure your monitor is on the right input, and boom, you’re ready to game on the big screen!

I tried the whole docking station setup - overkill. Direct USB-C to HDMI did the trick. Less clutter, less hassle.

Just get a USB-C hub that has HDMI out. Plug everything in, and it should work straight away. If not, check your monitor's settings. Sometimes it's just about selecting the right input channel.

Honestly, just plugging it in works. If it doesn't, your cable might be the culprit. Make sure it supports video output!

USB-C to HDMI? Sure. But let's not forget about DisplayPort for those high refresh rates. If your monitor supports it, go for a USB-C to DisplayPort cable instead. Game changer.
