[SOLVED] New laptop - can I connect it to a 4k 60hz screen with a hub?

[2000hz]

Hi guys,

I have a 4k screen:
https://www.benq.com/en-me/monitor/gaming/el2870u/specifications.html

I'm getting a new laptop but it has only HDMI 1.4 that can't run 4k/60hz
https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/del...aptop/spd/inspiron-15-5510-laptop/nn5510eyvlh

However, it has a Thunderbolt 4.0 with DisplayPort.

The dream is to connect all of the following on that same port:
4k 60hz screen, keyboard/mouse, usb speaker (powered) and ethernet.

Is it doable? I couldn't find the right hub and I don't know whether the hub needs to have DP or HDMI 2.0 port.
I don't want the hub to be too expensive (100 USD max)

Thanks!

If you scroll a little towards to the end of the page you've linked for the laptop purchase, you will notice this contraption;

Pick that up and you solve the peripheral and display connectivity that you want to achieve with said laptop, display and peripherals.

Thanks for the quick reply!

What about this cheaper one that has only HDMI port:

Will the HDMI in the hub work or the laptop can't drive HDMI 2.0 and I have to use DP?
Any other reason to go for DP?

What about this cheaper one that has only HDMI port:

If that's all you want to achieve then a much cheaper option would be a simple Thunderbolt-to-DisplayPort cable to connect your new laptop to your monitor.

Sorry for not being clear, I didnt mean only HDMI and nothing else, I meant a usb hub that has HDMI and not display port (but does have other ports).

Anyway, I just got the laptop and used the regular HDMI port, and it handles 4k60hz perfectly.

I'm confused - Did Dell lie and give HDMI 2.0 or can HDMI 1.4 can actually do 4k60hz??

Thanks again everybody.
