ThinkPad T480

A single-machine station, and for a measurable reason: its HDMI is 1.4b and tops out at 4K 30 frames. Over its USB-C you do get 60.

What to know about THIS setup

  • THE CABLE GOES OVER USB-C, NEVER HDMI. This machine's HDMI is 1.4b and tops out at 4K 30 frames: the desktop stutters and it looks like a Linux problem. Over USB-C you get the 60.
  • At 4K 30 nothing breaks and nothing throws an error, which is what makes this fault hard to find: you only notice when you move the mouse.
