    This MacBook has 4 tpye c ports and that’s it. So you need some kind of adapter,no way around it. I tried and the results are the same.

      Have you tried a direct USB-C to DisplayPort adapter or cable (not a dock)?

          Weird, that seems to unusual based on people’s responses here and my quick Google.

          I think it’s still solvable, in addition to the docks, there must be a cable or adapter that is causing the issue.

              I can’t answer that, despite that, there is a resolution. What model / year Mac is it?

      You can get both HDMI cables and DisplayPort cables that are USB C on the other end. These will plug directly into the USB C ports on the laptop without any docks or adapters involved.

      You only need a thunderbolt 4 to displayport cable. No dock needed. Most docks are USB-C based (unless you buy a thunderbolt dock) don’t support higher resolutions and may or may not support proper refresh rates.
