I think accountants and others actually benefit from having higher resolution in the sense that it makes it easier to have multiple documents next to each other. Having one large screen is much more convenient than having two side by side. At my research institute most researchers run dual but lately a few of the accountants/administrators have started getting ultrawide screens (3440x1440 I believe). Personally I'm alright with 1680x1050. I don't need high-res for my Linux terminals. =) This docking solution seems nice, and reasonably priced as well!
High res screens are nice and all but for accounting I do not think something like 4K would be a very good thing. The letters and numbers would be so small you would be straining your eyes for 8 hours a day and probably go blind in a year or two. Yes you could fit more onto the screen for sure but if you used the Windows DPI scaling to make everything a bit bigger such as text and numbers you lose most of the extra space anyway. Now 1440p would be ideal in my own opinion for this type of work.
You'd think high rez would be good wouldn't you? Come visit my office, the average age of the office workers and their required resolution might surprise you. Let me put it to you this way - there are more than a handful here with 24" screens running under 1080p.
My personal preference would be 27" 2k or 32" 4k running native but with scaling so I can actually read them. This is what I use at home btw.
It's probably just because the bezel is really thin. 1080 vertical pixels really blows for basically any kind of work. I have 3× 24" HP EliteDisplay E242 at work, 1920×1200. 1080 is just a bit too cramped for my liking.
Unfortunately I think that it is impossible. 4K @ 60Hz over USB-C requires both high-speed pairs to be sacrificed for DP-alt mode -> only USB2.0 is possible at the same time.
Only option would be to go with Thunderbolt 3, which is a bit different beast.
The only thing I wish it would have is the ability to daisy chain to an additional monitor. Have a few people using Spectres with a USB-C dock to get ethernet/PD/two displays, and would love it if it could all be done through the monitor.

Business use - not gaming. This isn't even targeted at home users (similar to their Elitebook notebooks)esterhasz - Wednesday, October 24, 2018 - link
If HP makes a 27" 4k variant of this, I will buy it instantly.zepi - Monday, October 29, 2018 - link

Actually looking at the back view image blown up it appears there is a displayport out connection which would be great.bizdisplay - Monday, September 23, 2019 - link
looks like it has DP OUT, it could be daisy chained to a second monitorNortonSupport - Friday, November 2, 2018 - link
