@zygoon I just bought this 4K 27" Eizo a couple months ago for 800€ or something. It has the USB-C connection and two USB ports, and I have chained a cheap hub to the monitor's first port, but the USB ports are only USB 2 speeds (with USB 3 protocol) when running in 4K.
@juliank oh and I forgot to mention both screens have 3 USB-C ports: one full feature PD, alt mode and data, one data without PD/alt mode and one for downstream devices. I can plug any USB-C accessory to the monitor and both power it and have it attached to my system. You could use this for any non-thunderbolt hub with any number of extra ports.
@juliank yeah, I use similar stuff on apple monitors. BTW: all the screens I have at home work correctly with DCC - screen brightness and all that. I only wish it was better integrated with the operating system. No need to touch any of the buttons :)
@zygoon I would have prefered 5K so I can run at 2x scaling, which is flawless, but it doesn't yet work over a single USB-C connection, and there's no monitors outside Apple.
But to be fair 150% scaling in GNOME/Wayland seems to work flawlessly too right now. Apps scale themselves, everything is sharp af.
Font scaling is a bit faster and produces smaller UI elements which is nicer.
@juliank my experience with 150 was so bad over the years that my family has a number of 150% monitors I just gave them to use with windows, where they really work fine.
It's always that one thing that pisses you off and makes the experience terrible. It did get better, and by far, over the years but last time I tried Linux HDPI steam was totally broken so I just gave up again.
@juliank yeah, there's always something for $reasons.
Having said that, not sharp is okay. Steam was just rendered at 1:1 and looked tiny/unusable in parts of the window. I cannot explain how they managed that.
