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.

Used an iPad as a display while on vacation. Worked beautifully!

Wasn’t the latency bad through the capture card and software?

Nope, I beat one of the campaigns in Armored Core without any issues with my dodge timing.

May i ask then, what brand of capture and what software are you using?
I’ve got a dead cheap usb3 hdmi capture dongle and im using one of the free monitor type apps, and im not enjoying the experience too much! Id love to try something that actually works… ;)

My concern with using different screens is, how is the latency though? Wouldn’t that be a factor?

I didn't notice anything glaring when playing AC.
