I feel a bit sheepish having to ask this, but has anyone successfully gotten their deck to display on a LG TV (C2 to be precise)? I have the official dock and that works for other devices like my laptop or surface pro but no dice with the deck itself.

I’ve tried various things like resetting the device, resetting the dock, changing the order of connection them all up but not managed to get anything to show it. I also checked that the HDMI cable I’m using works for up to 8k. A bit frustrating as one of the reasons I got the device was to be the living room PC/link to my gaming PC!

    Wait, just so I’m understanding, the dock works with the LG TV if you connect your laptop or Surface Pro, but not your Steam Deck? If so, it sounds like there’s either a setting on your Steam Deck that needs to be changed or the Deck itself is faulty.

    Does the Deck work with other HDMI monitors?

      I was just going to say. I have 2 LG TVs at home, not the official SD dock, but a couple of aftermarket ones, and they both work perfectly fine.

      Also, LG TVs are notoriously slow to display after a change of HDMI (1 to 2 for example), so make sure you give it a few seconds (both my TVs can take up to 10 seconds to display).

      I agree that it might be a fault with the deck itself, doesn’t seem to work with my gaming monitor

        I know for monitors the dock specs are: 4k_60 or 1440_120. Display Port or HDMI, doesn’t matter.

        I can verify I had it power my two PC monitors at 1440_120x2 I didn’t test variable refresh rates tho.
