I’m on an M2 MacBook and I want two 4K monitors at 60 Hz from a single USB‑C hub. One monitor is HDMI 2.0 and the other can do DisplayPort but I’d prefer HDMI for both. I’ve tried a cheap hub and only got one 4K60 and the second stuck at 30 Hz. I keep reading about Alt Mode vs DisplayLink and that macOS doesn’t do MST for dual displays. My budget is under $120 and I’d like to keep it plug‑and‑play without driver hassles if possible. Do I need a DisplayLink dock, or is there a USB‑C hub that can drive dual 4K60 over HDMI from this Mac?

I need two 4K monitors at 60 Hz from a single USB-C port while still keeping power delivery and a couple of USB-A peripherals. My laptop supports DP Alt Mode but I'm not sure about MST vs DisplayLink and what that means for performance and drivers. I tried a cheap hub and only got one display at 30 Hz which is a headache for text. Space is tight, so I'd prefer one compact dock over multiple adapters. Budget is mid-range, and I'd like to avoid noisy docks. What specs or chipsets should I target to reliably push dual 4K60 without stutter?
