I used to have an old Bush TV which was mostly ok with Steamdock + Steamdeck , but I have a newer Samsung TV and man, it just never works consistently. Set it all up, the tv tries and fails to figure out what the device is , so you have to set all the info manually, after which it should work. Now , I say should, because, it almost never works consistently 2 days in a row. What will happen is, it won’t work, I remove everything, reattach and set it up from scratch and eventually get it working. I am briefly happy, then when I come back the next day or after, it just won’t work. The best I can hope for is that removing and re-attaching the usb C from the dock will get it working, but it often doesn’t.

​

If its not working and you troubleshoot by, say , removing the power supply and hdmi from the dock, it forgets the prior info . So you’ll have to set it up again.

​

When its trying to determine the device type you can override it by pressing ‘down’ on the remote to indicate its a PC , so telling the tv to just display the visuals/audio, without any extras. But if you do this, it works even less frequently than above, and I have to go through the rigmarole of troubleshooting it almost every time.

​

I just wanted the dock to be a seemless interface between deck and tv. I have a regular dell docking station for my pc monitor and that works perfectly with the deck, so it seems to be an issue with Samsung TVs more than anything. I have hdmi CEC disabled so its not that.

​

I was playing it docked over the weekend, took a while to get set up but it was ok for a couple of days. Now this morning, I literally can’t get it working at all with any set up with the Samsung TV. Its really frustrating.
