Never heard much about philips usb pc products. On amazon there are established & known brands like orico/piplus/belkin/amkett/verilux/cablecreation even amazonbasics.

Philips is a big brand too so brandwise it sure stands tall but yes not much info/review on the web for its USB hub.

I just wanted idea if it's price right from fellow TE members?

Original philips electronics brand is long gone, even in 2014 philips LED TVs were essentially manufactured/assembled by Videocon in India. Such philips usb products are most likely oem products with just philips brand name.

But how to avail it might be another issue. No typical Philips store/service centre will likely accept this product just like how many ppl face issue while availing after sales service on LG gram laptop where most LG stores/service centres have no idea/expertise to handle LG Gram laptop & this philips usb hub situation is only going to be worse.

Whoa! LG too.
Let's hope I don't have to test the aftersales service.

Does this support 4k 60hz ? Mine only works at 30hz with Macbook pro even at 1440P.

Nope. You need to get one that supports thunderbolt 3.0 at least. Plain USB C hubs don't have enough bandwidth.
