USB 3.0 in the hub means that 2 of the 4 high-speed pairs coming from the USB-C connection are used for it, leaving only 2 for DisplayPort alt mode. With 2 pairs DisplayPort 1.2 has only enough bandwidth to do 4k30.

If you are willing to drop USB 3.0 -> 2.0 so all 4 pairs go to DisplayPort which means 4k60, something like this will work: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Multiport-DisplayPort-Ethernet/dp/B06Y5N3YCD

Although this one has caused me some random display flickers, but nothing too troubling so far, maybe 1-2 flickers per day. It just might be the monitors and daisy chain setup i have so check if there are similar products, check the reviews, etc. first.

u/kf97mopa · 3 pointsr/macbookpro

First up: If you use this, you can make any DisplayPort monitor supply power and two USB 2.0 ports (for mouse and keyboard):

https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B06Y5N3YCD

The eGPU has its own powersupply, using it does not affect the power usage of your MBP.

u/2me3 · 2 pointsr/xps13

Yes anything that supports usb C PD (power delivery) minimum 29 watts (45 watts officially) you can also have external monitors and ethernet over usb-c while charging.

Here are some ive tested from amazon.

Big thing you're looking for is usb PD support, power delivery. min 30 watt.

Bonus if you use the underpowered 30 watt charger it will reduce the strain on your battery (slower charge too) increasing long term life

u/thatsaniceplant · 2 pointsr/macbook

Hey!

I have the same setup, you can try this hub with a classic displayport cable (you won't need your DP/USBC cable)

- Full displayport at 4K60hz

- USB C charging up to 60W (you just plug your Macbook charger)

- Two USB ports in addition

u/hermit-the-frog · 2 pointsr/macbook

I’ve heard mixed reviews about the performance impact of doing so on a 2016, but I know it works.

I have a 2017 Macbook 12” and it works like a dream. I use this adapter. It’s the only one I found that supports power delivery + 4k @ 60hz, except for some of the larger hubs. Unfortunately your USB connectivity will be limited to USB 2.0 since most of the bandwidth will be consumed by the display.

Edit: just found a more minimal adapter by the same company. I think it is new so there are no reviews, but it may be a better solution if you don’t need USB or Ethernet at all.

u/XSSpants · 2 pointsr/thinkpad

Assuming you want future 4k60hz support...

With USB-C, the ideal video out is DisplayPort Alternate Mode -> DPP to HDMI adapter.

Everything else is going to be over the USB bus and up to the OS to support, and a requirement for 20v power delivery at at least 2.5 amps

https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B06Y5N3YCD something like this, plus an hdmi adapter.

If you only need 1080p/4k30hz, there's a ton of generic breakout boxes.

Have you tried a dock like this one?

u/rdjack21 · 1 pointr/thinkpad

I'm using this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y5N3YCD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 on my X1C5 on the USBC/Thunderbolt port and it works perfectly. It is limited though in that it does not do multiple monitors it only does one. But for my use case Monitor, Keyboard, mouse and power it was perfect. Oh yes it supplies power to your laptop and I just plug my normal power supply into the doc which then feeds the laptop.

Forgot to add I have plugged it in and out while power is on with out issues with Linux. Sorry I have not tried windows so not sure if it will work under windows.

u/keejoon · 1 pointr/gpdwin

in edit2. so did you success with the product?

usb-c to display port(4k/60) with power charge?

​

u/lengau · 1 pointr/pixel_slate

OK, so after quite a bit more testing (I got some weird data yesterday, so I wanted to double-check with multiple adapters etc. today before sharing my response), I have the following for you:

|Monitor|Cable Matters Hub|DA200 hub|D6000 Dock|
|:-|:-:|:-:|:-:|
|Samsung 4k (DisplayPort)|Works|N/A|Works ^(DisplayLink)|
|Samsung 4k (DP to HDMI cable)|Broken|N/A (No DisplayPort)|Works ^(DisplayLink) |
|ViewSonic 1080p monitor (DP to HDMI)|Broken|N/A|Works ^(DisplayLink) |
|ViewSonic 1080p (HDMI)| N/A (DP-only) | Works | Works |

I also tested with a 1080p Samsung TV and got the same results as the ViewSonic 1080p monitor. With the hardware I have, it seems to only occur when the internal GPU tries to do any HDMI-over-DisplayPort. Do you have any examples that contradict this?

u/notStoner · 1 pointr/macbookpro

Nevermind, I was looking at USB-C to DisplayPort cables and found a company that offers 60hz with 2USB 2.0 ports and 100mb Ethernet port. It only has 1 review though but it’s positive

My writeup at https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/wiki/newdocks mentions two:

>
https://www.gearbest.com/cables-connectors/pp_1639879.html or https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y5N3YCD/ use this if you need a single DisplayPort (4K @ 60 Hz) and USB 2.0 is enough. Typical monitor + keyboard scenario.

u/bluaki · 1 pointr/chromeos

Unfortunately, 4K@60Hz USB-C docking isn't very common because it kinda conflicts with USB 3.0 data. A dock can either have USB 2.0 with the full four-lane DP 1.2 bandwidth or USB 3.0 with only two DP lanes which gives you 30Hz but not 60. Newer versions of DP fix this but it's only very recently that devices are upgrading from DP1.2 to DP1.4.

I bought this two years ago and it works okay, but there's probably other better or cheaper options lately: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06Y5N3YCD

u/Chaphasilor · 1 pointr/UsbCHardware

So this has only 2 USB2.0 ports, but that's enough for M&KB. Fits your budget pretty well too :)

Another option would be using this with a second hub that features all the other ports you need. It's small and relatively cheap, so all in all you could still keep your budget. You're also more flexible this way, although you'll need two dongles...

u/NotRoryWilliams · 1 pointr/AppleWhatShouldIBuy

If you’d asked half an hour ago I’d’ve happily obliged, but that’s my office setup and I’m home now. There’s not much to see, though. From the front it just looks like a monitor with a single cable connecting it to the laptop.

I got a killer deal on the display, you’ll certainly end up paying more, but I also got the lowest end display that met my specs, just 4K 60hz. I got it on Black Friday for $249 from monoprice, but I can’t find it on their site at all now.

Here it is on Amazon: Monoprice 27in 4K ActiveHDR Desktop Monitor with Aluminum Bezel https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0778S2JQ6/

Oddly the hard part was getting an adapter that supported 4k60 without breaking the bank; most HDMI adapters only do 4K30 or 1080/60. I went with this one for $40: Cable Matters USB-C Multiport Adapter with 4K 60Hz DisplayPort, 2x USB 2.0, Fast Ethernet, and Power Delivery in Black(Thunderbolt 3 Port Compatible) for 2016/2017 MacBook Pro, Dell XPS 13/15 and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y5N3YCD/

What I don’t like about it is that the USB ports are only 2.0, but it’s got two of them plus Ethernet and power pass-through. I also don’t like the fixed input cable on it which keeps a mess right next to your laptop; so I got an extension USB C cable (male to female) for about $10. My printer/scanner and my old Apple wired keyboard occupy the two USB ports, although the keyboard gives me back two more.

I can’t recommend the power adapter that I went with, at least not without reservation. There are plenty of third-party power adapters on Amazon and any with the right wattage will work, but the one I got had a crappy cable that failed after a few months. I called them for a warranty replacement and they sent a whole new kit, and that cable failed after just a few weeks. In the end I went to Apple and bought an Apple power cable which I use with the aftermarket brick on my desk. I’d recommend investing the $20 in an Apple cable, but you can get away with a $30 power brick instead of spending $80 on Apple’s.

Altogether the non-monitor hardware you’d need to add to a standard monitor only costs about $150 altogether, with most of that going to the power adapter. USB C hubs are a dime a dozen. At home I use a $27 one that just gives me one USB 3.0 and HDMI. I used to plug it into a USB 3 hub I’d had for years, but lately the hub seems to be broken so I just directly connect the printer I’m using at the time (I know, cludgy, but it’s not important enough for me to invest in fixing).

You could do a similar setup with a much better display. I personally don’t find 5k vs 4K to be worth the price premium, but you might. You can get a killer 32” 4K display for around $400.

Then again, it’s possible to get a killer deal on the LG. Apparently Amazon has it on refurb for $800, and it’s the same one that Apple was selling for $1299 the last time I checked, with built-in charging and USB C with a built-in hub. LG Ultra HD 5K UltraFine USB-C 5120x2880 27" IPS Monitor, Black (Certified Refurbished) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079J62QZM/ At that price it may be the best product for your needs.
