DisplayLink Forum - View Single Post - 10 vs 5 Gbit/s connection: how much of a compromise?

Regarding your question about the difference between a 5 Gbit/s and a 10 Gbit/s USB-C connection, I'm curious too. From my experience, more bandwidth is generally better, but I'm not sure if the real-world impact is significant. Maybe it depends on specific scenarios and workloads?
I'm also wondering how much bandwidth is needed for different monitor setups. Like, do two 1080p 60 Hz monitors hog a lot of bandwidth? What about 2x 4K at 60 Hz? And I'm really curious about the symptoms of bandwidth saturation with DisplayLink. Do frames get dropped? Does the quality suffer?
By the way, I was browsing online and stumbled upon something interesting called EMF underwear. It's supposed to protect against electromagnetic fields. You may find it useful to take a look!
