Plugable Dual DisplayPort & HDMI Docking Station - USB 3.0 & USB-C Laptop Dock for Dual Monitors, DisplayLink, Mac (Driver Required), ChromeOS & Windows, Gigabit Ethernet and Audio (UD-6950Z)

Got this dock because I wanted a 3-monitor setup using my Lenovo Thinkpad display and two external monitors. Not only is it working flawlessly, all the extra USB ports are a much needed bonus. The only dock port I am not using is ethernet, and that is only because I have an excellent wifi router that gives all the bandwidth I need. When selecitng a multi-monitor dock just make sure it's compatible with the video technology on your computer. In my case the Thinkpad uses DisplayLink so this Plugable dock did the job. The only downsides to this somewhat dated model is that it lacks USB-C connectors, but it does include a USB 3 to USB C cable which is what I needed to connect it to my Thinkpad.

At first, I had quite a few issues getting my Sharing Switch and Pluggable Docking station to work together. I wanted to have one docking station with all of my peripherals to go between my personal gaming tower and my work laptop. On my work computer it always worked fine, on my personal desktop the screens would intermittently flash black and I would have delayed functionality in some of my peripherals. Things would work fine if I pluged the dock directly into either computer, but I really wanted the functionality of the Switch. I looked up fixes others had used but nothing worked. Finally, I reached out to Pluggable's customer service and they couldn't have been better! Not only did they send me a free replacement Switch to see if that would solve the problem but also, after noticing one of my monitors didn't have the expected refresh rate available, did research into the manual of the monitor and provided me recommendations and screenshots of the manual to configure my setup properly. It actually solved a different issue I'd just come to deal with when using my monitors! With everything combined, we got my setup working perfectly. With that, I highly recommend Pluggabe not only for the ease of use with their devices, but that they genuinely want to help their customers out and have great customer service!

The unit worked well for about 5-months, then one day decided to stop working. Tried all the suggested DIY fixes, and nothing. Turned out the unit was unable to power up. I give 5-stars because the Plugable support was first class. The timing was beyond the Amazon warranty, so I dealt directly with the manufacturer. They shipped a new and fully tested replacement unit out to me in short order, and I'm back in business. Always appreciate good customer service.

Initial unit arrived quick and was easy to set up. Connected right up via display connections but had a intermintent black screen. Customer service was extremely responsive and helpful. Troubleshooting options exhausted and they wasted no time send out another unit. Highly recommend these units for connectivity, compatibility and versatility.

Great product, fast delivery, durable and easy setup. It is compatible with my Lenovo Legion Pro 5 unfortunately this model does not charge it but that is okay. The price on the unit was a good value and has plenty of usb ports. I had a previous Plugable unfortunately it only had one hdmi plug in on the unit the other hdmi plug was on the laptop. And I needed to upgrade it so that I can have two hdmi/display ports on the same unit just in case I decide to buy a 4k display down the road. At least now I have the option to add a third display because the third hdmi plug is on the laptop which supports only 3 displays according to the specs.

Update 3 almost a year down the road a new issue arose, my screen and text bars continuously drag to the right until you cannot view the screen or text, causing standard functions to be impossible. Unfortunately I strongly do not recommend this product. I was almost convinced my Mac is the problem but removing this device fixes these problems. I am seeking an alternative product Update 2 a few more months after the second purchase. Both displays failed within a few months, the second purchase randomly started working again about another full month after it also failed. Very unreliable, but works as advertised when it does happen to function correctly Update 1 Months after I purchased the first one, as well as the second. New - This product works flawlessly for maybe a month. I bought one in May, replaced it in June, the next one lasted 2-3 months and I am now in need of another unit as my displays will not extend from my new Macbook Pro M3. I did realize after each time you turn the laptop off, you. have to re-open the DisplayLink application in order to reconnect your monitors. Unfortunately it no longer works and I am stuck to the default HDMI port to use only 1 extra. This is a very expensive piece of equipment to not even make it past 6 months. I do NOT recommend this product. Original - It was extremely hard to find a way to extend 2 displays from a macbook, this did work for a little while, the HDMI display extenders failed within a couple weeks of using. Everything else connects correctly, keyboard and mouse USB however I'm unable to use this how I intended to. Also very expensive to achieve multiple monitors

It was very difficult to find a docking station that met my needs even though they seemed fairly standard. I wanted to connect two external displays to an HP Spectre laptops that have display port connectors. To make the right connections I needed to research all the different connector types (USB A, USB 3, HDMI, etc. etc.). Very few docking stations would allow me to connect to my laptop with a USB A and have display port, DP, outputs. This one had outputs for 2 displays and provided both DP and HDMI outputs. The station is connected with a Type B USB and provided one cable with a Type B connector to the station and Type A on the laptop end and another cable with a Type B and Type C so I did not need to search for a cable. The hook up directions were simple and worked perfectly. I then connected my other peripherals to the multiple Type C outputs on the docking station. So far it has worked flawlessly. It was on the pricey end but was well worth it.

This works exactly as I expected. There is no leg with the dual screens. I'm very happy with this.

Perfection

Após muitas dificuldades em encontrar a dock Station (3 antes dessa) finalmente encontrei a Dock Station perfeita para as minhas demandas (2 monitores externos de tamanhos diferentes). Ela funciona muito bem, deixou a imagem nas telas com uma definição perfeita e seguindo as orientações do vendedor eu consegui fazer o Macbook Air M1 funcionar em duas telas independentes. No meu outro computador Dell também funciona perfeitamente bem! Não precisei instalar o app. sugerido pelo fabricante. Estou muito feliz com a performance do produto. Recomendo!

Excelente producto, compatibilidad con Windows y Mac, el HDMI y DP simultaneo te permite adaptarlo a cualquier tipo de monitor, el cable USB A o C te permite conectarlo a la computadora por el puerto que este disponible, una gran calidad en los cables, quizas el unico punto en contra es que no cuenta con puertos usb-c, pero cumple muy bien su funcion con 6 puertos usb a.

Great docking station for connecting multiple monitors to a laptop and extending the screen. Easy to set-up and use, great that it can connect via both USB 3.0 and USB-C, making it capable of working on most units. Love that it doesn't overheat like some adapters/docking stations do.
