That's 4k.
If you want it cheap you can get a usb-c hub on aliexpress for $10-$20. I have one and it works great.
Look for one that says it supports 4k 60hz on HDMI.

I have a caldigit ts3 I got from work that works well with the framework. Looks like it only does a max of one 5k or two 4k monitors. They have a new one (caldigit ts4) that appears to work up to 8k.
If it were me (and I didn’t get the dock free from work) I’d just buy and test a few cheap amazon docks then return the ones I dont like.
I hate returning stuff, but sometimes it just can't be avoided.
I've ordered the Caldigit TS3. I'll update after I get a chance to test it.
Just wanted to share a follow up.
The dock works great under most circumstances. The issue that i have, which was listed by others in reviews for many different docks, is when connected through my KVM. It takes forever to sync up and drive my display. By forever, I mean 30+ seconds most of the time, and occasionally I have to disconnect the cable, open the laptop lid and then reconnect the cable.
Oof thats annoying. I never used a kvm. Just used the same inputs for my work and personal laptop and switched which one was plugged into the dock.
Yeah, I have a 4 port KVM. One for my work issued Surface laptop, one for my mini-pc, one for my Framework 13, and one for any computer that I'm troubleshooting. I'm thinking about moving to my Framework fully and changing the mini-pc into another node for self-hosting setup.
Thanks, I received the caldigit have set it up. Everything seems to be working.
Hell yeah brother
So, I took the advice of @steal_your_face and got the caldigit ts3. I had to grab a displayport to hdmi adapter since I don't have displayport cables.
So far, I have the display working at full 3840x2160. It struggled at first, but eventually Fedora got it working without any changes. I did have to unplug and plug in the usb-c cable. Mouse and Keyboard recognized without issue. Audio through the dock to the screen to speaker is working. Mounted and worked with files on usb drive, no issues. Videos played off the usb drive fine.
So, in short, it works as expected, no extra setup/config required.
If I need a dock I'll always get the newest Caldigit. Having gone through many, nothing else compares.
3840x2160 is standard 4k, not 8k
Sorry, I thought I replied.
Thank you for the correction.
