So for TV multi, do you need the dock for that? How does that work, because that would definitely be a use case for me.

To plug the Steamdeck into a TV you need, at minimum, something that converts USB-C into DVI or whatever port your TV has. The multiplayer can be through corded USB controllers plugged into a dock, or you can use Steam controllers through USB thingy, or Xbox and Nintendo Bluetooth controllers natively through the deck itself.

Thanks! I think I'm getting a better sense of how this might work for me. Appreciate you taking the time to explain
