External display is blank External Display Safe Mode This mode will help if an external display is not lighting up when connected to your Steam Deck. When enabled, your Steam Deck will pick a low resolution and refresh rate for your external display to improve the chances of successfully lighting up the display. This may help in situations where the connection between the SteamDeck and the external display can’t reach full transmission speeds, e.g. when using a very long HDMI/DP cable, or the cable is somehow damaged, or there is some interference from external devices in the signal.

The best process to enable this is: Unplug the Deck from the dock/hub Set ‘External display safe mode’ to On in the Display menu Plug the Deck to the dock The display should now light up
