  That’s some fucking garbage.

  Not to sound like I’m going full r/hailcorporate for Hilton but I’ve not seen them pulling shit like that yet.

    I was at a Courtyard by Marriott and they had a fully accessible TV that allowed me to connect my SteamDeck and play from the bed. I will definitely stick with Courtyard for my business travel just for this alone.

      Damn… The steam deck seems super awesome.

      Excited for what Proton has done for game compatibility too.

      I was in a relatively new hotel. They likely aren’t going to throw out existing TV’s but when it’s replaced, no more steam deck.

    I stayed at a Hilton in Vegas that had a TV with unchangeable inputs.

      That’s lame… good to know but lame… I’d be bitching about it for sure as an HHonors member

  It’s hospitality mode.

  Probably not custom. Many brands allow the tv to be put into hotel mode. If you have your own remote (or an IR blaster) then you can take them out of it.

    The software was labeled with their brand.

      Still not definitive proof necessarily. Splashtop used to sell their custom OS to most the motherboard vendors. They usually rebranded everything but it was still the same OS.
