Not sure how this is newsworthy, there are many quad display thunderbolt 4 docks on the market and some have been available for ages: https://dancharblog.wordpress.com/2024/01/01/usb4-tb4-docks/...

Perhaps this is an opportunity to launch craftkillernews where you only post things that are new to you.

Don’t those usually require DisplayLink drivers? This doesn’t, from what I can tell.

Nope, if you follow the link I posted you will see many of them are listed as "Quad display via MST" as in the multi-stream transport in the displayport (not displaylink) protocol. The dock I'm using supports Quad display via MST (1x hdmi, 2x displayport, 1x thunderbolt 4 pass-through) and it was launched back in September of 2021, 2.5 years ago.

That being said, some of them do require displaylink so definitely make sure you're being careful when shopping.
