I modelled and printed a custom mount for my portable monitor for my deck, it’s surprisingly comfortable to hold
I’m sorry this is ridiculous
Don’t be sorry, you can judge me
Not for low-vision people or older people who have issues with the smaller screen. Could be a solution if someone like that ended up with a Steam Deck and didn’t realize they’d have an issue with the smaller screen, and maybe they just have a spare travel monitor lying around.
Also there’s a contingent of people out there who just enjoy modifying stuff because they can. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.
Yeah, I usually have my external/portable monitor with me on business trips for work, and the Steam Deck for after-work relaxation. Using my external monitor with it, and don’t have to use my work laptop seems like a major plus in my book
Yeah but at what point does it just become a pc with a controller…
That is… Literally how I would describe the steam deck, that’s why I love it <3
Cyberpunk theme intensifies
This guy fucks
The steam deck has a screen built in, right?
What monitor is this?
I live in Australia and got it from aldi here bauhn is the brand, I saw a file on printables by a guy that did this with n Amazon screen I’ll grab the link for you, he links to the exact model… https://www.printables.com/model/632862-steam-deck-portable-monitor. Good luck if you decide to !!
I would never do this but it is fucking amazing. Great job!
Mine is docked in a utility cart with a 27” monitor on top 70% of the time. I love these ideas 🤣
Haha yeah I figured why not ay XD
This looks painful. 🤔
You’re a madlad!
I considered doing this for a bit, but with the power and link cable requirements for the travel monitor, I decided against it. It was too much cordage in too small a space.
But glad it worked out for your needs OP!
I had to give up my steam deck bcz the text was unreadable. The zoom feature was too clunky to use. This is great.
is the deck running on battery?
The screen is plugged into power and the deck charges off the screen
damn, nice. I’ve got a portable screen that does the opposite and charges from its input. I keep hoping someone has invented a magic cord that allows me to split power and video separately from my deck, but then I realized that’s exactly what docks are for 🙃
Maybe I could do this for my Switch 🤔
