This hub is absolute rubbish

Knowing quite a bit about USB-C hubs, I wanted to try this one as it announced many of the features I was looking for. The bad reviews are true though – this product is far from production ready and there is a good chance it won't be ready to go right away. I was looking for a USB-C hub that outputs the native display signal and found out the limitations of USB-C. This hub must provide 4k@60Hz display while remaining USB ports are in 2.0 mode. However, when plugged in, all I get is annoying screen flickering and intermittent power delivery (with a 90W charger). The maximum screen resolution is 4k at 30Hz, which is totally unacceptable. I could do what other reviewers have mentioned and contact Anker support and I'm sure I'll get a comment from Anker apologizing for these issues and they'll be ready to ship a new block . But that's not it. Check out other reviews here; This unit is far from production ready - it just doesn't work most of the time and if you buy this product there's a good chance you'll be disappointed or go back and forth with warranty support. I'm taking this back to Revain and trying one of the many other USB-C docks.
