Hi everyone, this might be a silly question, but I’m curious about the Steam Deck’s streaming capabilities. Is it possible to stream games from the Steam Deck to a television or computer monitor wirelessly (via WiFi) in 1080p resolution? Essentially, I want to run games on my Steam Deck, but view them in 1080p on a larger screen, such as a TV or monitor. I’m aware that the Steam Deck’s native screen resolution is 720p, not 1080p, but I’m wondering if there’s a way to bypass this limitation for streaming purposes. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Why not just use a dock?
As for being possible it should be if you have an android TV or something that supports steam link.
It might be possible, but it won’t be good. There isn’t a great low latency way to stream video on Linux outside of Steam Remote Play, which would require another PC. You’d be better off grabbing a dock off Amazon and using a cable. You can use FSR to upscale your game to 1080p too.
Actually not true at all Steam Remote Play isn’t even close to Moonlight/Sunshine latency and quality So yeah if u want to stream your games just use moonlight/sunshine
Definitely use a USB-C dock with HDMI to your TV. Streaming introduces horrible latency issues if you even get it working. Then you can use a Bluetooth controller (really, most modern controllers support it) and play your Deck from the couch.
As far as 1080p without horrendous latency, gamestream can do it easily over your own home… iv done 1440@120hz, works great with sunshine/moonlight
As for the resolution, it’s solvable but you’ll need extra shit (add a custom resolution to switch to, which means Linux shenanigans that get overridden every update + ideally scripts to switch automatically. Or a dummy display plug)
A dock probably makes more sense.
