I agree with everything here. I just want to leave behind a little nugget for anyone searching in the future that runs across this after searching 4k.
My deck would run 4k for a few minutes on my TV. Then it would disconnect from the dock. I actually didn't realize I had it in 4k because I had set it to 1280x800 manually on another dock back when I got it.
I had a hard time figuring out why my new dock seemed to be busted. A friend who had recently ran into the same issue told me to change my resolution and suddenly everything worked.
All I could find searching for it was people complaining that their dock cut out on them intermittently.
I actually like that the USB-C port is on the top. Having it on the bottom was the major drawback for playing my switch because you can't rest the device on your body with the power cord plugged in without bending it. I completely understand that this is a problem for docking but I'm glad the developers thought about this.
