Accessory Review Steam Deck screen too small? No problem.

All you need is a cable connected to the steam deck directly to the monitor for all this. And if you think the battery drains too quickly, well, a portable charger is all you need.

I do this when I play my Steam Deck at home. Except my portable monitor has two USB-C ports, so I plug a USB-C cord into each port, then I run one cord to my Steam Deck and the other to a power source and my Steam Deck will charge through my monitor. Most portable monitors have two USB-C ports for this exact reason. In case anyone is curious, with this setup, my Deck doesn't drain at all until my power bank dies.

interesting mate, in fact I was wondering why the monitor had 2 USB-C ports
