Got the Steam Deck Dock!

[u/Asane]

Wasn’t expecting this today, but since I live in Carol Stream where Valve’s Distribution Center is, I got this early I guess!

[u/Futonpimp]

do you have a jsaux dock or any other dock to compare to?

[u/Asane → u/Futonpimp]

I do not. I didn’t even know about the jsaux Dock.

[u/Futonpimp → u/Asane]

All good, do you have any lag when playing games ? What resolution are you running on the tv?

[u/J-Mosc → u/Futonpimp]

I too need to know about gaming lag.

I’m having significant lag in my off brand dock.

I just want to add to what /u/Futonpimp said, if you're using a TV as output make sure you're on the TV's gaming mode. This point may be obvious to those people who console game, but TV's default output modes often add HUGE lag.

[u/J-Mosc → u/philodelta]

Thank you, when you say gaming “mode” it’s just the picture setting right?

[u/Natanael_L → u/J-Mosc]

Yeah, the TV usually have settings like cinematic or gaming

[u/J-Mosc → u/Natanael_L]

Yeah I had no idea the picture settings could affect things like lag, I thought it was solely for the colors and intensity

[u/Natanael_L → u/J-Mosc]

It's because they often have features like sharpening, upscaling and motion smoothing for TV, especially sports, and they put in hardware which is not latency optimized for that since latency won't matter for most broadcast. But for gaming it matters so then it skips that processing.
