USB 3.0 Docking Station Dual Monitor,2*HDMI HUB Displaylink Dock for Laptop

This USB-C hub is a must-have for expanding connectivity! It effortlessly connects my MacBook or Asus Laptop to an HDMI display in crisp 1080p while offering 3 USB 3.0 ports for peripherals, a Gigabit Ethernet port for fast wired internet, and SD/microSD slots (though not simultaneous). The slim, travel-friendly design is perfect for work or travel. I found that the USB-C port is for docking station power only (doesn’t charge laptops). SuperSpeed transfers (5Gbps) and multi-device support make it a powerhouse. Works flawlessly with Mac, Windows, and ChromeOS. Highly recommend!

My job bought this adapter so I could attach two more monitors to my third monitor. It works very well. It is lightweight, so I can easily carry it in my purse when I take my work laptop home. I ended up buying one to use at home when I bought a second large wide screen monitor. It has a short cable, so you would need to attach longer cables to it. It doesn't have a many USB-A ports as I would like, but you can attach a second USB-A adapter to it to add more USB-A ports, if needed. It's best benefit is the ability to attach two monitors.

Purchased this docking station because my work laptop only offers one HDMI and two USB inputs, which hugely limits extending to multiple monitors. When I received this docking station, I did as directed and installed the specified driver before connecting this device to my laptop. One of my monitors is VGA and the other is HDMI. When I first connected the VGA, the device recognized it and my laptop automatically extended the display to it; however, when I added the second monitor via the HDMI input on the docking station... it was not included on the display settings monitor list (in the Windows Setting and also in the Driver App Settings). Then I thought to try my VGA adapter that converts to USB-Type C. The HDMI cable was communicating just fine. When I adapted the VGA to the USB-Type C, and plugged it into the docking station, it all works perfectly. Other than the VGA minor hiccup, this device functions perfectly! Very happy with this purchase. The device's driver is vital to its success, but the device's program is not necessary at all (it directs you to the Microsoft store for PCs). The device's program appears to be a literal replication of the Windows Settings layout, and the links it contains to "adjust" the display settings simply sends you back to the Windows Display settings. Hah! Anyhow. Hope my details help someone else wondering.

My new tower only had two HDMI outputs and I was pretty used to my 3-monitor setup. This is working out quite well, seems to draw enough power from my PC. Before I had 2 DVI with DVI->DisplayPort adapters and one HDMI.. now I have one DVI with DVI->HDMI in the computer itself and two HDMI cables going into this. I had thought I might need to use the VGA port, but ended up I didn't need to. I kept getting wonky colors when I did try it; however I suspect that's just the name of the game with those old cables. It did work (and colors were fine when jiggled) so know it is an option where needed. I'm docking one store just because I think it's a bit overpriced for what it is.. I'd give it 4.5 if I could!

I have a relatively new Acer Aspire5 and a four year old HP x360 laptop. I originally bought a different mini-dock that said no additional drivers were needed, and it would not work on either of my machines. This unit works perfectly on both, with all features available from either USB3-A or C ports. I am currently running it with two additional HDMI monitors at 1920x1080 resolution without an external power supply, and the dock's USB3 ports are also working fine at true SuperSpeed. The installation of the necessary DisplayLink driver was painless, and no application needs to be started on the laptop before you connect the mini-dock. Connecting and disconnecting the laptop works as simply as it did before The documentation supplied is very limited and typical poor Chinese translation, but you can get a lot more information by just taking the time to wade through the many pages of questions/answers on this site. Here are a couple of things I gleaned from there that are not at all clear in the documentation: 1. The dock has a USB-C port, but it cannot be used for anything at all except power IN to the dock from an external power source, and that power in is not passed back out to your computer. It is ONLY used to power the dock if you need to attach too many hard drives or other power-hungry devices. You will still need to attach your normal laptop power supply to keep your computer charged. This is a slight negative since it is both confusing, AND you loose all access to a USB-C port if you need to run this mini-dock from a laptop that has only a single USB-C output. The good news is that the mini-docks works perfectly from a USB3-A port, so you can leave your laptop's single USB-C port available for other devices. 2. If you are connecting multiple monitors, the output resolution to all of them will be limited to 1920x1080, and you might also need that external power supply I mentioned above.

Works perfect! Extend and duplicate mode, don't settle for the cheaper USB HUB one!

Product does not work as advertised, the software needed also is not updated and does not download also not able to connect monitors and support was not supportive. Do not buy. Here is my communication. My issue Hello, I am having issues connecting the docking station model D3908 to my 2017 IMac. I am attempting to connect 2 additional monitors. However I can only get the iMac plus one additional monitor to work. Please advise on connecting the 3rd monitor. Response Hello, our docking station has 3 video output ports: 2 HDMI ports and 1 VGA port, but during use, the display mode is AAAA+AABB+AABC (if you connect both the VGA and HDMI1 ports at the same time, the 2 monitors will be limited to displaying the same screen). . When connecting dual or triple monitors, the maximum resolution of each monitor will be limited to 1920 x 1080@60Hz.

UPDATE: Original 3-star review is below ... I initially had an issue with this docking station interfering with my wifi. However, since posting the review I did more research and from what I can tell older Surface Pro laptops have an issue with USB 3.0 devices causing the wifi interference (of course there's no fix that I can find as of yet). I've updated my review to 5-stars because the problem is on my hardware's end AND because GIQ customer support reached out a couple times to offer troubleshooting tips and a full refund if I was not satisfied. I purchased this for use in my home office - the setup is Surface Pro with dual monitors, USB keyboard, and webcam. This GIQ docking station was plug and play, and I was up and running instantly. The only issue I had was with my wifi ... with everything connected through my Surface Pro my wifi drops to unusable levels. I'm not a tech genius so there may be a fix I'm not aware of - I initially thought it was a Windows 11 issue so spent a couple days working through those solutions, and even moved a mesh network point next to my Surface Pro. I figured it out only when I took my Surface Pro to a different place in the house and the wifi was back to normal, so I tested it in the home office and can confirm the wifi interference is coming from the GIQ docking station. I tried disabling various devices etc. and nothing worked ... I gave in and connected a cable from my mesh point to the GIQ docking station and was back up to blazing wifi speeds. If I didn't have the wired connection available though this docking station would be useless for me ... again there may be a solution I don't know of, but a plug and play device shouldn't require a tech genius to get it working.

This docking station is exactly what I needed to clear the clutter off my desk. The 4K resolution and the split-screen extension across two different monitors are fantastic and have completely changed my workflow.I can connect all my peripheral devices to this one dock, making my setup look much cleaner. The USB-C dongle on the front is an amazing addition, as it lets me easily switch between my MacBook and Windows laptop without any hassle. The build quality is exceptional....very high-quality aluminum that feels like it will last a long time. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable, multi-display hub!

Es un aparato muy versátil, lo recomiendo

Ho acquistato questo adattatore per rendere un pochino più agevole il passaggio cavi sulla mia postazione da smart working. Una volta ricevuto l'oggetto, la prima cosa che ho notato è stato il packaging e l'aspetto esteriore dell'oggetto: la scatola è molto gradevole e anche il design e i materiali sono pregevoli anche se avrei preferito un cavetto più lungo. Le dimensioni non sono eccessive e il quantitativo di porte è più che adeguato. All'interno della scatola è presente un cavo USB, di cui però non ho avuto necessità in quanto questo adattatore riceve tutta l'energia necessaria dalla porta USB, che può essere di tipo A oppure di tipo C attraverso l'adattatore contenuto nella confezione. Prima di collegarlo ho scaricato i driver necessari alla gestione multimonitor dal sito della Synaptics, dato che recentemente ha acquisito la tecnologia DisplayLink. Sul microsoft store è presente anche un app per la gestione audio / video dei monitor ma si riesce a fare tutto anche solo col pannello di controllo di windows. E' da precisare che per poter utilizzare la modalità estesa dei monitor è necessario che entrambi siano collegati tramite HDMI. Altra nota da ricordare è che solo la porta 1 dell'HDMI permette anche il passaggio audio. Non so come si comporti a più alte risoluzioni ma attualmente gestisce due monitor in fullHD senza particolari problemi, sfarfallii o instabilità della connessione. Pertanto mi sento di consigliare l'oggetto.

Pafait pour mon besoin. Avec un PC portable assez bine équipé mais sans USB C, ce boitier a permis, avec le port USB 3.0, d'ajouter pour le moment 2 autres écrans en plus de l'écran intégré et celui connecté sur le port HDMI intégré ! (l'image ne montre que 3 écrans)
