I have a 4k 60Hz monitor connected to my laptop over one USB-C cable for data and power, but because of bandwidth limitations my options are 4k30 and USB 3.x support or 4k60 and USB 2.0.

I love the monitor, it's sharp and clear and almost kind of HDR a lot of the time, but the fact that it has a bunch of USB 3.0 ports that only get USB 2.0 speeds because I don't want choppy 30Hz gaming is just... weird.

Everything is amazing and nobody's happy.

      Being more judicious about who you wank in front of, for example. (Just in case the reference isn't obvious, I'm not talking about either wmf or Jaygles here.)

Thats the exact reason i dichted my dock and connected the monitor directly to my labtop. 30 Hz is way too low, I need 60 (or maybe 50 would have been enough - I’m in the PAL part of the world ;-)
