Plugable USB 3.0 and USB-C Dual 4K Display Docking Station with DisplayPort and HDMI for Windows and Mac (Dual 4K DisplayPort & HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, Audio) Vertical

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.

I bought this docking station in March of 2023 and it has served us well. I had two computers hooked up to it (one at a time of course): one of them a MacBook Air, and the other an LG Gram running Windows 11. The Mac required a little extra TLC to get it up and running - some program had to be auto-started every time I booted up. But once I figured that out it worked fine. The LG worked "out of the box".At the other end I had a 34" wide screen HP monitor and a Samsung 55" TV, both connected with HDMI cables, and a number of USB peripherals including webcam, scanner, CD drives.All the peripherals moved seamlessly from computer to computer with the help of the docking station.A problem arose last earlier this month: the power light didn't come on, on the docking station, and nothing was working. I communicated with customer support through Amazon, and was given some basic troubleshooting steps which I followed. When they didn't fix the problem Plugable speedily sent me a replacement unit and told me to properly dispose of the original one. When I received it I plugged it in and it worked great.Of course I'm concerned that the original docking station failed and hope that the replacement will last longer, but I'm pleased and impressed with the service I received.

TLDR: Hopefully this helps someone struggling because, to my knowledge, none of these are mentioned:1) monitors must be on to allow plugable divide to be detected on a macbook.2) check display port and HDMI compatibility with your monitors. Find the response rate that works best for your configuration - may take some tweaking.3) if flicker occurs, do not let it continue, or you risk damaging your monitors with image burn.I was initially hesitant to purchase this due to the screen recording requirement, but realistically, plugable storing that information isn’t feasible, as it would take an incredible amount of storage and toll on my system. The impact on performance of having a second monitor with my M1 MacBook Air has been negligible, and I have enjoyed having an extended display.Due to my use of several programs when studying and working on research, having an additional monitor is invaluable, but I was honestly nervous after the initial set-up. The MacBook immediately had an issue recognizing the plugable dock after downloading the software, but that was because my monitors weren’t turned on - a slight difference, as waking my MacBook used to also turn on my single monitor but no big deal to turn both on manually.I immediately noticed a headache-inducing flicker after the external monitors started working. For context, I have two LG GL83A monitors that are set to 1440p with a 144 Hz refresh rate. I quickly played with the settings in my display preferences and found that 120 Hz was perfect for both monitors connected to the display ports in the plugable dock. Display ports tend to be a bit more capable than HDMI because (most of the time) you’re comparing a 1.4 display port cable to a 2.0 HDMI cable. Tested with HDMI too because I’m always curious - 60 Hz was perfect for the same monitors using HDMI instead.After messing with some settings and worrying that my only shot at two external displays, I noticed that my monitors had a slight image burn. Fortunately, I managed to solve the flickering before the image burn became an issue. The monitor screens resolved after a few minutes. Do not let the flickering go on for very long or you’ll damage the screens.After getting everything set up, I am very happy with the plugable dock. It has exceeded my expectations. It’s still a little pricy but it’s the only way to counter the single display limitation of the M1 macs without purchasing an M1 MacBook Pro with a designated HDMI-out.

i think it's a good product. i ordered 2x like new adapters and one of them is great, and one of them is DOA. but the worse part is someone else already returned it.

I needed a hub for my laptop for dual HDMI display and additional USB ports. I've had several cheaper devices that either were glitchy or just stopped working one day. I was looking for something a little higher quality and this hub seems to fit the bill.At first, I was having issues where several times a day it would blink out and revert to the laptop screen, then blink back to the extended display. it was annoying. I assumed a defective device and requested an exchange from Amazon. as I was packing up the unit, I noticed the little card in the box- Please contact support if you have issues, let us help! I rolled my eyes- my experience is that product support for most items is an absolute joke. When the second unit arrived, it had the same exact issue. Ugggg. So I followed the links for support and I have to say- support was EXCELLENT! I wish I had saved us all a little hassle and contacted them the first time. Very prompt response, clear communication, easy to follow instruction- it was 5 star. I had to use their tool to collect some logs when the issue occurred (super easy to do) and then I was given instruction to update the driver (very thorough and easy to follow), which fixed the issue. It works great now.The device itself seems pretty good so far. Dual HDMI works great. There are 6 USBA ports, an audio jack and ethernet ports. The unit is connected to my laptop with USBC (it can also use USBA to connect) in the display port. I tested it in the power USBC port as well, and that appears to work fine too. The only thing that would make this better is a few USBC ports for additional devices, like charging my cell phone. (Entirely possible there's a higher model that has that, so if its a necessity for you, check thoroughly for that.)Overall- great product, GREAT SUPPORT!!!!!
