Thanks! So ASUS ThunderboltEX 4 can work including hotplug, right?

I am not sure about the Asus ThunderboltEX 4, but the both @Elias64Fr and @caley13 were able to flash their ASRock Thunderbolt 4 AIC with very good results. Elias used a CH341A external programmer while Caley flashed it from NixOS (yes, no need for external flasher).

GC-Maple Ridge may work properly on a Z690 motherboard. We’ll just need to flash modified firmware. I was only able to test on Z390 Designare, and this system would not enter sleep.

Which firmware can I try for Maple Ridge with Z690 platform? @CaseySJ

Has anyone tried this build to connect to a 5K resolution display? How was the experience? Will there be any problems?

I have three 5k displays connected at same time. All work fine.

I am so tempted by this 5K monitor with all-aluminum build and copy-cat design!

This is too much of a coincidence! I'm just thinking about to buy this monitor so that why I ask this question

Currently, I have one LG 5K ultrafine monitor and two planar ix2790.
All planar ix2790 monitors, which I've tested, are built with defective panels from iMac 27" 5K.
Those two I own have dead pixels and ghost image across border.
Also, I've tried Iiyama 5K monitor - they also built from defective iMac 27" 5K panels and have a lot of dead pixels.
The first LG 5K, which I've bought, have ghosting across the entire screen - it's impossible to use such monitor - I've sold it for parts.
Second LG 5K I've bought was fine - without dead pixels and other defects.
But three years passed, and now I see ghosting across border of screen.
So quality of this LG-made 5K panels is not very good.

As I see these Kuycon g27p monitors are also built from LG 5K panels.

I would like to see more reviews, but the few that exist are quite positive:

Best part: This is not a Thunderbolt monitor.
