I have an iPad Pro 11-inch from 2018 and since external mouse support came I’ve been using it more and more as a Mac replacement for office tasks.
I’m now considering buying a small screen for my iPad Pro so I’m wondering, is it possible to drive a 4K monitor at 120hz from the iPad Pro via USB C?

It theoretically could, but proper external monitor support doesnt really exist yet on iPadOS.

I know iPadOS does not fully support it yet but I’m asking since I wonder if 4K at 120hz is really possible. Wouldn’t the required bandwidth be too much for USB C?
