The steam deck really can’t do 1080p, depends on what games of course but at 720 is where it functions best
The built in screen is 800, not 720.
It can do other resolutions natively if you connect an appropriate display.
You can run games at 720p and upscale to 1080p. I’m assuming that’s how people will want to run any of the more demanding games with this mod.
That’s stupid. It’s not a console where settings are locked down. Sure, you probably can’t run a new AAA high fidelity game at 1080p, nor could you run it at native at max settings. There are tons of games out there, new and old, that it can easily run at 1080p, especially if you tweek settings. You can always choose to render at a lower resolution than native too if you want.
1080p would also be great for streaming from a desktop.
