      They are telling you not to use ANY dock. Connect the cable to the monitor.

      My Macbook drives a 144hz 4K display, so your issue is not your Mac unless you have an Intel based Mac.

      Likely it is either the cable or user error.

        This MacBook has 4 tpye c ports and that’s it. So you need some kind of adapter,no way around it. I tried and the results are the same.

          You only need a thunderbolt 4 to displayport cable. No dock needed. Most docks are USB-C based (unless you buy a thunderbolt dock) don’t support higher resolutions and may or may not support proper refresh rates.

          Have you tried a direct USB-C to DisplayPort adapter or cable (not a dock)?

              Weird, that seems to unusual based on people’s responses here and my quick Google.

              I think it’s still solvable, in addition to the docks, there must be a cable or adapter that is causing the issue.

          You can get both HDMI cables and DisplayPort cables that are USB C on the other end. These will plug directly into the USB C ports on the laptop without any docks or adapters involved.
