Better yet would be optical thunderbolt+hub (just one cable), but the cable cost a fortune, and havent been in stock for ages and a dock cost quite a sum too.
Not that optical hdmi+usb cables are cheap either though.
I got a 100ft iBirdie hdmi 2.1 cable running from my home office to my living room LG C1 and it only cost 70 bucks. I got full 10 bit 4k HDR and 120hz. Works like a charm. I've read reviews of people not having a great experience with this cable though so I may just have been lucky.
Thunderbolt would be better but I personally dislike thunderbolt when you need to run multiple screens. Also depending on the motherboard in question you may need a thunderbolt expansion card. Currently I run the tv, one 4k 144hz, and one 1440p 165hz monitors and it's nice to just have them all plugged in and disable the screen(s) that I'm not using. I use a Logitech wireless keyboard and track pad, xbox controller, and steelseries arctis nova pro headset to game while in the living room and it's glorious.
I also have a thunderbolt dock for my work computer at the desk to drive the two monitors. The monitors have built in kvm switch to support peripherals and a display for my home server as well.
Only reason I brought all of this up is to help people googling this issue and looking for solutions.
