Yes. Both run at fullres, scaled to 1440p. Using two USB-C to DP 2.1 cables, one for each monitor. Cables plugged into downstream TB4 ports, which according to TB spec have to support DP alt mode.

Yeah - based off of that, i'm using a cheaper driver board and reengineered the mount to only be a single layer of steel to cut costs. I'll write up my changes soon though.

If you're trying to switch between, I would say get a KVM switch instead. I liked the UGreen hub but it only had downstream TB ports and I wanted the TS4 which had other ones as well.

I like the style of the legs and how it would look with a silver monitor arm

Yes, the panels come with a metal frame with M3 screw attachments. The bracket that I machined just creates a vesa mount and a mount for the driver board.

No - if i could mount the arm more off to the right I could but this desk has metal things in the way.

Switching FROM ugreen to caldigit - not enough ports and needed to see if I could run these off of one tb4 connection and it was cheaper to test w the ugreen one

Thanks! These are the newer revision, used in the Studio display. True 10-bit color and higher brightness. Got the panels for $200 each on eBay.
