Verbatim isn't the name brand that it was 30 years ago. There isn't a Verbatim corporation that is designing and building these. Most of Verbatim brand is owned by CMC. Someone licensed the brand name to put on some generic no-name hub. I am not saying these aren't good, but the name doesn't make them any better than any other generic hub.

The only way to get 4K@60Hz or higher is with Thunderbolt or display port alternative mode, or to use compression, which is arguably worse than 30Hz in my view. 4k@60Hz Display port alternative mode requires DP 1.4 which costs way more than $17, not to mention this configuration doesn't allow simultaneous USB 3.1 bandwidth on other devices, since DP 1.4 consumes all of the high speed lanes. Thunderbolt is also very expensive too.

You're also going to have bandwidth limitations for other devices plugged in besides the display if you're not using a Thunderbolt dock, and are running 4k@60Hz. DP 1.4 running on a USB-C hub leaves zero bandwidth for USB 3.1, any device plugged in running at that frequency and resolution gets USB2.0 bandwidth.

So honestly, why are you even looking at USB-C hubs rather than Thunderbolt ones?

https://www.bigmessowires.com/201...usb-c-hub/



You should understand that any additional USB devices you plug into that hub, while running 4k@60Hz, will be running at USB2.0 speeds. This is simply a limitation of USB-C. In order to get everything running at full speeds, you need a Thunderbolt dock.

4k@60Hz for these multiport docks is just a gimmick. If you actually want 4k@60Hz, you need either a dedicated dongle for only the display, or a Thunderbolt dock.

Actually, CMC is a $10B company headquartered in Taiwan and started in 1978. It acquired Verbatim (which had been owned by Mitsubishi from 1990-2020) in 2019 and continues to run it as a subsidiary.

They outsource their Hub production to Sure-Fire Electrical Corporation, also a legit company headquartered in Taiwan that's been around since 1989.

They do outsource manufacturing to China, but this isn't one of those fly by night manufacturers who produce the cheapest products possible and slap an old American logo on them.

I'm a bit confused why the models without the HDMI cables are more expensive than the ones with the cables.

Also, be careful, some models will only work with Macs. And the way the HDMI cables are fooled me into thinking they can handle dual monitors.

I'm looking for one that also has gb Ethernet port, and works on a Galaxy S21-Ultra.
It looks like the 9 in one has ethernet, but no mention of support for Galaxy.

I bought a 4k 60hz HDMI hub, and only 1 of my 3 tvs recognized my phone. Switched to a 4k 30hz, and now all my tvs work with my phone.

How does even the 7-in-2 not support 4k@60Hz?
