The HDMI ports are actually 2.1 on the Ivankey. The said they wrote 2.0 on it due to a limitation in Macos which prevent HDMI 2.1 speeds through Thunderbolt 4. I use a 1440p gaming monitor connected through display port to the thunderbolt port. I get 1440p at 180hz which is exactly what my monitor does. To get HDMI 2.1 through Thunderbolt 4. The said device needs to be converted to Display port 1.4 and then USB C prior to connecting to the dock. The Ivankey supports all the refresh rates that hdmi 2.0 supports and all the refresh rates and resolutions display port 1.4 support through its thunderbolt ports. It would be great if Apple could lift this limitation in MacOS so HDMI 2.1 docks can be useable.
Thank you so much for sharing. I really love the side by side comparision of these 3 devices und your honest thoughts on them.
