Questions about this item
Should I pick the version with four USB 3.0 ports or the one with fewer ports?
This model includes four USB 3.0 ports (three USB-A and one USB-C) as standard, so there is no separate version with fewer ports.
What does the 4K@60Hz figure mean when I connect two monitors?
Both monitors can run at up to 4K resolution at 60 Hz simultaneously, with support for HDR, HDCP 2.2 and 3D content.
Which HDMI standard does the switch use, and what bandwidth does that limit me to?
The switch uses HDMI 2.0, which carries 4K@60Hz signals and caps the video bandwidth at the level required for that resolution and refresh rate.
