Hello,

Looking for some help here. Was anyone able to hook up their console to the Studio Display? (Or even a MacBook Pro?)

I know these aren’t made for gaming but that’s what I have.

Thanks!

I can't see why it wouldn't work. The specs for the display say it's an ordinary Thunderbolt over USB-C. Have you tried just plugging it in? Should work just fine with a MacBook too even though the laptop probably can't act a as a monitor, of course.

Exactly, you wouldn’t even need a dock. Power, video signal, keyboard/mouse attached to the monitor, etc. should all work when connecting the Steam Deck via one USB-C cable to the Studio Display.

Yeah I tried that but it’s only charging the Steam Deck and nothing else.
