STEAM DECK Portable Monitor 1080p 60hz External 15.6" Monitor.

Ғылым және технология

Have you thought about an external monitor for your Steam Deck? The price is a big selling point and although I wasn't expecting much, I was very impressed with how it performed.
As in the video, you will need to manually set each game to run 1080 in the settings else you'll only see 720. Only needs to be done once, but for each game.

If I do the math, the entire setup would cost me around 800€ if I take the 256 gb ssd steam deck +external monitor (ideally 240hz 1080p) around 200/300€ + I guess.. The easiest solution for me is the asus rog flow z13, but it's out of my budget :(

    They don't sell this monitor in my country, however, there are others that are very similar, by any chance can the USB-C port that goes to the external battery be connected to a hub instead? Because the monitor I can get does not have the Micro USB port, Id like to use it only for flash drives
