Deck to LG TV (feddit.uk)

I feel a bit sheepish having to ask this, but has anyone successfully gotten their deck to display on a LG TV (C2 to be precise)? I have the official dock and that works for other devices like my laptop or surface pro but no dice with the deck itself.

I've tried various things like resetting the device, resetting the dock, changing the order of connection them all up but not managed to get anything to show it. I also checked that the HDMI cable I'm using works for up to 8k. A bit frustrating as one of the reasons I got the device was to be the living room PC/link to my gaming PC!

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.

Thanks for the suggestion, do you know where I can lock FPS on the deck? Had a hunt around in Display settings but I can't see anything

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.
