Steam deck 2 with 1080p that can be (better) output to a TV.

[–] foggenbooty@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

We'd need a suitably powerful APU upgrade in order to make running a 1080p screen viable. Most of the reason the Steam Deck performs as well as it does is because games are only rendering at 720p.

My wishlist for a Deck V2 would be a

  • Higher res screen (if it makes sense as I mentioned above)
  • Higher refresh with VRR (partially handled by thr OLED 90hz but no VRR)
  • Second USB-C port supporting USB4
  • Fingerprint reader
  • QoL improvements like smaller bezel, modern wireless chipset, etc.

AND a Steam Controller v2 as a companion with the exact same buttons/sticks/touchpads as the Deck.

you thinking like, mini hdmi port directly in the chassis? or just an hdmi to usb-c adapter in every box?

also have you seen the aftermarket screen upgrade? it looks great, but apparently the (already kinda slim) battery life really suffers. I’m still very tempted hahaha
