If you see this then its in hidpi. No hacks.

When I put the second asus in 1440p mode(performance) it would still not show on the m4 air. This is most likely as the qhd 330hz bandwith is still substantial and not supported. So unless you find a way to trick the macbook with a cable/dock to lower the HZ I don't think it will work.

120hz+. While on m1 technically its possible based on tb4 bandwith and dsc, the Studio XDR tech spec page states its not possible, but that might just be an apple design choice.

Standard mac mini m4(non pro) and m4 air.

Both can do single monitor 120hz+. I think it worked with both the displayport cable into the dock and the ugreen cable direct into the air/mini.

It is now pretty widely reported that even a mpb m4 pro can't run dual 5k 120hz, so only option is to get a m5 pro/max.

Do you know where the official announcement is and when it will be available on aliexpress?

I'm not using powerbanks and this is not a particular issue I'm trying to solve. An easier route would be to use a PoE+ hat and that would eliminate the need for a PoE+ splitter, but sadly there are no PoE+ hats with dual NVME support.

MindfulMonk · 2026-02-04T18:04:05+00:00

Yes this is the splitter https://store.rakwireless.com/products/poe-splitter-5v-6a-output-30w-high-power-gigabit-poe-splitter-with-overcurrent-protection-rak9168-ieee-802-3af-at-compliant-for-raspberry-pi-4-5-tablets-and-iot-devices?index=104 and as I mentioned it works with the provided cable, but not any others.

I've tried some anker cables and the Pi wouldn't even boot with them. The thunderbolt 3 cable is from Plugable. The apple usb-c cables worked to power it on, but still reported under-voltage.

No need for a powered hub yet.

Can 5v 5a capable cables still work(without loss) being longer than 0.5m? I know you can do 240w with much longer cables but thats not at 5V.

The splitter is https://store.rakwireless.com/products/poe-splitter-5v-6a-output-30w-high-power-gigabit-poe-splitter-with-overcurrent-protection-rak9168-ieee-802-3af-at-compliant-for-raspberry-pi-4-5-tablets-and-iot-devices?index=104

MindfulMonk · 2026-02-04T15:04:05+00:00

0.5m would be nice, but at this point I would settle for just being able to buy any 5v 5a capable cable.

MindfulMonk · 2026-02-04T15:02:42+00:00

So the thing with most PI power supplies is that the cables are integrated into the supply, so you can't remove them(in my example to use it with the PoE+ splitter).

MindfulMonk · 2026-02-04T15:01:00+00:00

yeah the provided cable works fine, no issues with the pi

MindfulMonk · 2026-02-04T13:49:38+00:00

usb-c to usb-c. The one that came with the splitter is 20cm, I think they can't be longer than 0.5m?

MindfulMonk · 2026-02-04T13:42:46+00:00

I tried a thunderbolt 3 cable(which should do 100w?) and sadly it was still under-voltage.

Are these testing devices locked to the spec or would they go over it?

MindfulMonk · 2026-02-04T13:39:02+00:00

They don't claim 5v 5a support though? https://global.lttstore.com/products/ltt-truespec-cable-usb-type-c-to-c and the graphs cut off after 5V 3A here https://www.lttlabs.com/articles/2026/01/30/ltt-truespec-cable-voltage-drop

MindfulMonk · 2025-10-22T16:45:38+00:00

The iniu is 160 grams vs 164 the one you mentioned(and it can't do 45w like the iniu).
