For me … I just plug the dock USB C top cord out/off and on/in again 🥹.
After the deck is booted and at steam screen or desktop mode.
Then for future boots, it’s usually okay. If not… Repeat step 1.
I blame CEC/HDMI control shenanigans.
I cooked food for 20 years. Now I build computers and dive down Linux 🐇 🕳️ on a personal learning journey.
Mostly, I cat sit and watch anime when not gaming or editing files.
Fibromyalgia sucks! Existence is pain and resistance is futile. Thanks for noticing me.

Upon checking the Steam Display settings… You could try toggling the External display safe mode button to on
.
I know on Desktop mode when it is docked, under KDE Plasmas’ System Settings > Display Configuration
when docked, should have more resolution and refresh rate options. For the TV display
So I just noticed on my OLED solo on the screen it only allowed 90hz. Brb after more science. But there’s probably a way to keep the external at 60hz and the deck display separate.
So I have my TV fed through my sound bar, but it does let me make sure it’s 60hz and 4k ✅
For context having them the same refresh rate only matters if you were playing on a PC and streaming to the Deck TV set-up over Steam Play.
Sorry for any confusion. My bad.
On my C9PUA
it just works with the dock.
Did you try locking FPS / Display settings to 60 on deck/TV?
AMD only does 60hz over HDMI because HDMI forums. Need Display Port for beyond 60hz.
On Bazzite I believe people use Firefox installed as Android app, so they can simply switch to it for game guides etc, while playing a game, in GameScope/Big Screen/GameMode™
I’m too lazy to test, because I just run it as my daily driver on my Desktop.
I know for monitors the dock specs are: 4k_60 or 1440_120. Display Port or HDMI, doesn’t matter.
I can verify I had it power my two PC monitors at 1440_120x2 I didn’t test variable refresh rates tho.
