I’ve said this a million times, but I think picking up a Steam Deck dock is essential if you own Valve’s portable powerhouse. Not only will it provide you with a perch for your portable PC, but it’ll kit the mini PC out with all the ports you’d find on your full-sized rig. However, if you’re also in need of a new gaming monitor, then picking the right panel could save you splashing out on the extra accessory, not to mention you’ll end up with a higher spec setup.
Before I get ahead of myself, I’m not saying you have to buy the best gaming monitor around instead of picking up a Steam Deck dock. That’d be slightly bananas given that the latter costs a fraction compared to high-spec screens. My real goal is to boost awareness of a feature that’s easy to overlook, especially since spec sheets won’t explicitly state that screens have a built-in docking station. If you do end up picking up the right display, there’s arguably little need for you to also have additional hubs at your desk, as you’ll be able to hook up gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck OLED with a single cable.
