Yes, You Can Use the Steam Deck Like A Real PC! It's Awesome! Desktop Mode Hands-On

When I plug my steam deck into an external display using a simple dock, It's always zoomed in like 4%. In just the normal deck mode, I can go into the settings and change the zoom to fit the corners of the display. But I can't seem to do that in desktop mode. I've looked all around the display settings, I've updated and restarted the deck multiple times, I've changed the resolution options to nearly every available configuration, but I still can't see the very edges of my screen. It's annoying because buttons like the steam settings, the time, and any icons I have in the corners of my screen are cut off. But I can still navigate to them with the mouse, I just can't see the mouse. Do you know how to fix this and why it might be happening?

Steam OS is awful. It crashes constantly or gets other problems like unresponsive controls, etc. I guess it's smaller than Windows, that's the only saving grace.

May a use Steam Deck with 2 external monitors?

Through your videos, I got the TDP at 30000 mW through using that custom UEF or whatever it's called custom BIOS setter thing, it was in one of your previous videos, and set the GPU to 4GB in the Steam bios...
Now I'm using the Steam Deck as my main Windows 11 Unity game development computer, I make 2.5D games at 1080p with lots of screen effects like bloom, color grading, fog, etc...
The Steam Deck sits on a dock underneath my monitor, so I can use it as a vertical dual monitor setup. I've got the 512GB SSD setup and it does pretty much everything I need.

When people pay for the hardware they are buying they have the right to do whatever they want to do with that, Other company should learn from valve and steam deck

Thanks for this. Excellent video.

I think I’m gonna sell my pc and Nintendo switch and buy a deck

I'm a student at university, this summer I took a programming class as per requirement for my major and a fellow student was using his Steam Deck as basically a miniaturized desktop for taking notes and running code for the class instruction and assignments... this really is a valuable tool for those needing a laptop, but wanting to preserve space.

I'm putting in an order within the next month!

Update: I have purchased the Steam Deck as of August 28th this year, I've already taken notes for 2 of my classes and have written a combined total of 6 assignments. This is an amazing piece of tech!
