MODERATORS
The Steam Deck shines as a handheld because you only have middling graphics power but it's only trying to drive a small screen (small in both size and pixels). If you plug it into a TV then that tradeoff stops working and it's going to look worse than any console (except the Switch).
I do use my Deck on the TV and it isn't as bad as I was expecting, but I've got a PC as well for demanding games.
