Love this. Apart from hosting an instance, what are you using it for? Self-cloud?

That is indeed MildlyInfuriating - sucks dude!

My work issued Lenovo laptop only does 1440p/30 4k/30 with it’s built in HDMI and, for reasons that make sense only to Lenovo, also is 30hz capped when connected to their USB-C and Thunderbolt dock for who knows why. Drives me crazy.

Right, so you tried 5 different docking stations? As I said friend, Lenovo and Dell both make DisplayLink docks that are super common for office use.

The Samsung U28E590 from your screenshot does not support 4k60 on both HDMI ports, and only does 30hz on Port 2 regardless of resolution. So if the Dock is in port 1, and you go USB-C > HDMI on port 2, you are not going to get 4k60, because the monitor can’t do it on anything but port 1.

If you are using the Apple USB-C > HDMI, you should know it is oldAF any maxes out at 4k30hz (HDMI 1.4). The updated adapter came out in late 2019 and added 4k60 and HDR support (HDMI 2.0).

In the more likely event that you have random office supplied cables, USB-C to HDMI, a SHOCKING number of them are cheap trash and will not do 4k60, but should do 1080p60… unless plugged into HDMI 2 on the monitor listed.

For sure, I edited but that can take a minute, whats the dock you are using? I’ve been through a bunch of this stuff. If it’s a DisplayLink dock, you will get no love on MacOS without the driver, no mater what cables you use. If it’s one of the many USB based docks common to office fit outs, that might be your trouble.

Something is up with the Dock-Mac. Could be firmware. I have a Lenovo Thunderbolt 3 dock that refused to do 1440p/60hz in Windows, but would on my Mac only to drop out every few minutes. Firmware update solved both sets of issues.

Had another USB C dock that used DisplayLink, which wouldn’t do above 30hz on my Mac until I downloaded the DisplayLink driver.

What’s the dock you are using in the office?

I do, I updated the post to fix about 30 seconds after posting. Aussie.zone is indeed what I meant. Maybe the edit didn’t save? It is showing as aussie.zone for me in post

Tom is a wonderful part of the YouTube landscape, and I will miss his videos. But then again, holy hell 10 years of this. Not only is the break well earned, he must be starting to feel some of that burn out.

A but of that going around at the moment, eh? Lots of things changing.
