Genki makes the Covert Dock, which I have experience with. It's a bit expensive, but it's easily portable and works with both the Deck and the Switch. With a long enough cable you could sit a distance away from the TV and still use the Deck like a controller.
There are some Anker USB hubs with HDMI that would work for this application as well (in theory).
The Genki covert dock was DOA when I got one, so I don't trust them.
That's a shame. I have two that have worked with no issues, aside from very minor hiccups.
jsaux has a similar one, maybe that one's better
