oooh, that totally explains it, thank you so much!! I would absolutely have continued to fiddle with drivers for days and never realized that it’s a hardware limitation haha
Comment on Has anyone managed to use their Steam Frame with an external monitor?

Afaik unless someone builts an adapter for the front side extension port, all you can do is a wireless display, which tends to be too laggy for most uses.
The back side USB-C port is USB2.0 only and doesn’t support display out.

You could build one, they’ve released some example expansion boards when they released the CAD files last week.

You might be able to get PCB way to make it. Just a thought.

Huh, that actually doesn’t look too complicated! I have no experience at all with anything like that but I bet my partner would be down to at least supervise (he’s an Electrical Engineer) so it might be doable :o

Keep in mind, while Displayport out can’t work, DisplayLink runs over normal USB and should have no trouble with USB 2.0. So for DisplayLink, it’s only a software issue.
