Hey guys :)

I recently got the mbp m4 max and i have 2 external monitors
one supports hdmi 2.1 to hdmi 2.1 (4k oled monitor)
the second one support hdmi 2.0 but i can connect it with the usb-c to hdmi and i will get 100hz

im looking for a thunderbolt 4 docking station that it has to include those ports :
1/2.5 ETHERNET , at least 2 HDMI 2.1 / tb4 ports at least 3 and other usb-c 3 or usb a ports

and last question , when i connect my cable to the dock , it also charges it ?

thanks :)
 
Get the Ivanky Fusion Dock Max 1, supports 4 monitors with dual HDMI plus additional thunderbolt ports to connect additional monitor. It is designed for the MacBook machines, I use it with a MacBook M4 Max also
 
@SteveJobsOG “it supports only hdmi 2.0 , i need hdmi 2.1”

TB4 is only 40Gbps, HDMI 2.1 needs 48Gbps.
So that needs a TB5 dock.

However with DSC (compression) it will probably work with TB4, but there won’t be the bandwidth to support a second monitor and the Ethernet etc.
Hence the dual cables for the Ivanky dock.

You have a TB5 Mac, so go with a TB5 dock.

I have a CalDigit TS4 and it's fantastic. Can't tell you about the HDMI version on it, though. Everything else fits your requirements.
The TS5 and TS5+ are now out, so they likely will have you covered. Not cheap, but it's quality equipment.
