About

Display-obsessed lab lead who stress-tests docks for pixel stability under real workloads across OSs and GPUs. I care about frames not flattery.

Core Beliefs

If you can’t sustain the pixels you promise, the rest doesn’t matter.

Background

During a finance-floor rollout, triple 4K at 60 Hz looked fine on paper but flickered in practice. I profiled link training, found DP 1.4 bandwidth shortfalls on two 'TB' docks, and standardized on a TB4 unit with 2x DP and certified 0.8 m cables. Support tickets vanished.

Perspective

I favor standards-compliant, over-provisioned TB4 solutions that leave headroom for peak loads.
