Plugable USB C Triple Display Docking Station | 100W PD, 3x HDMI (1x 4K 30Hz, 2x 1080p 60Hz), 6x USB 5Gbps Ports | Windows, macOS, ChromeOS Compatible - Enhance Productivity with Multi-Monitor Support

I have about 8 different adapters and hubs I've bought for my HP Spectre 360, which, when I bought it in 2019, was a trendsetter for having very few connection points (one USB 2.0 and 2 USB-Cs - come on!!!!). I need three large monitors to do my job effectively, and it's been really hard to find an adapter that a) allows 3 display connections, and b) works well. My latest one - a cheap Amazon purchase - didn't have a tight connection with my computer's USB-C input, and the USB 2.0 connections just stopped working after 6 months. When I went to purchase two new cheap adapters, both of the Display Port connections didn't work for my third monitor. So, I decided to bite the bullet and pay more for a legit hub - especially a hub that allows 3 HDMI connections, versus only 2 HDMIs and a Display Port connection. I'm happy to say that this Plugable hub worked right out of the box. (Okay, to be fair, I didn't follow the instructions and download the drivers BEFORE connecting the monitors, and the third monitor didn't work right away - but once I actually downloaded the driver, it connected seamlessly.) While I got this for the 3 HDMI connections, I also love that there are 4 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0 connections. Between my microphone, speakers, mouse, keyboard, and camera, I have a lot of USBs to plug in, and this accommodates all of them, AND it charges my computer at the same time, so now I have 1 USB-C and 1 USB 2.0 open on my laptop. I'm impressed so far! I hope the quality continues throughout months and years of use.

Overall these work great, and are a great value. I'm an IT manager and I've purchased a few of these now for people to use as office docking stations for the MacBook Pro. Specifically these are being used with the M1 Pro 16" MacBook Pro and they work flawlessly*. It provides enough power that users don't have to plug in the Magsafe brick while they're in the office. It supports dual 1080p monitors, or one 1440p monitor for sure. You have to install a DisplayLink driver and software package to make it work with MacOS (windows too I think), which is typical of these devices. Now thanks to MacOS's privacy and security settings, it gives the user a constant status icon and occasional warning that their screen is being shared. I'm glad that feature is there, but sometimes users ask about it. *My only real complaint is that while the software works great under normal circumstances, MacOS updates will sometimes disable the auto-launch of the DisplayLink adapter software. I regularly get a call that the users' monitors aren't working because of this. I can't really blame this on the display software though. Launching the program and reactivating the auto-start in system settings is simple enough, but always confuses people. It's usually a good time for me to check that the DisplayLink software is up to date too. You can update the software from the resident app in the system tray, though it doesn't notify you of new updates. The driver also integrates with Apple Watch unlock, and has an f.lux feature that will optionally dim/color shift your external display at night. We're using it for 1Gbps ethernet, dual displays, power delivery, and a permanently attached Time Machine backup drive, and haven't had any trouble with connectivity for any of theses devices, nor any complaints about speed. Sometimes these types of docking stations can get kind of hot when you're making them work this hard, especially if you're using power delivery, but this Plugable model doesn't ever get above a mild fever.

Easy setup. Works really well on M1 MacBook Pro. Solid product and reasonably priced.

This docking station gave me exactly what I was looking for: a way to swap my Mac and PC laptops by switching only one cable - the USB-C from the dock. The dock is connected to my two external HDMI monitors, the USB dongle for my wireless keyboard & mouse, and a DVD drive (rarely used, but it's there). I also use the USB ports to charge my office phone cordless handset and iPhone. I could connect 1GB ethernet to the dock as well, but my Sonic wifi is faster. To top it all off, I have a pair of desktop speakers connected to the dock's headphone jack so I can stream audio from my iPhone to either computer and play it through the speakers. As I mentioned, switching between computers simply means disconnecting the USB-C cable from one computer and plugging it into the other. The USB-C provides charging power, too. Installation notes: Supporting multiple external monitors on the Mac requires installing DisplayLink Manager. Supporting the speakers on a PC requires installing the Bluetooth Audio Receiver app (free download from the Microsoft Store).

I needed a solution to utilize my three screens with my laptop and I got more than I expected! This thing is amazing. I went with Plugable after doing tons of research and decided to use them because of their amazing customer service. I did have a small issue as the unit that I purchased was faulty out of the box and started screen glitching. I reached out to customer service instead of returning the device, they helped me within a couple of hours and had a new unit out the door THE SAME DAY, that had been tested in-house that has been working perfectly ever since. Their US based customer service was amazing and I would definitely buy more products from them. I'm also extremely happy with my purchase!

So far this is one of the best things I have seen for the price. I love how easy it was to setup. Literally took longer to try to do clean cable management than hooking this thing up. If you have a USB-C laptop that doesnt support power, video and audio just get a USB C to USB adapter and this thing works flawlessly. Will update after a few months of use but man was this easy!

First if you're just trying to get 2 monitors with your M1 macbook air, this is the one. Displaylink is working and it seems to handle a 1440p and 1080P just fine. check other reviews for different resolutions as this i what I use for work and have no need for 4k/5k monitors. If you have an older laptop with thunderbolt 3 its hit or miss. A 5 year old Z book was able to get the first monitor but not the 2nd. running a USB-c from the 2nd monitor to the 2nd port of the zbook directly worked just fine so I'm not sure what specific incompatibility it was, but it wasn't that the laptop couldn't handle it. Probably has something to do with displaylink. Power delivery is not 100w. to the laptop its 60w. IF they add the power to various usb ports to the running total, its till not 100W as the adapter is 20v*4.5A for a total of 90W

I'm a nursing school student and I needed a lot of screen space because I have to research, reference and write papers simultaneously which is easier to do if I can see everything at once. I purchased a small single non-HD monitor to help and was using a j5 Create dongle to connect to the monitor, but still didn't have enough space. So I decided to make a significant upgrade and purchased a 27" 4k HD monitor from a local computer store and purchased another j5 Create dongle as they said it would work. So I plugged both dongles in, but unfortunately my laptop was incapable of running both monitors at the same time! I needed a "work around" since I found out that my M1 laptop is incapable of running two monitors at the same time so I researched my options and came across the DisplayLink software website and searched out where I could purchase the correct module, Amazon was the place! So, just a heads up, you can't simply download the software and try to run two j5 Creative dongles at the same time or even a single dongle from J5 Creative that has 2 or more HDMI inputs, it doesn't work that way. Also, people are freaked out when you install the software and it asks for permission to "RECORD YOUR SCREEN," well, the module and software need to do that because it's grabbing that info and sending it to to module with a super short delay that's virtually unnoticeable unless you decide to play video games, but I just need this for papers and such. Your computer isn't transmitting your screen data to DisplayLink, it's capturing your screen info, processing it and sending it to the module to do all the splitting and to do its thing. I purchased the cheaper module out of the three options as I'm running one 4k HD monitor and 21" SD monitor in addition to my laptop screen. So the end result is 3-screens, all with different desktop images, and you're NOT stuck with a "mirrored" screen, you get the true 3-screen experience! It works perfect with my laptop. I can also stream music videos from YouTube and watch them in 4k on the one monitor while running a bunch of programs at one time and moving from one monitor to the other and have no skips or weird things going on with the video. The only thing I think I could ding against this product is that if I try to run the video full screen on the 4k monitor it might lose some resolution, but considering how much work this software and module is doing, that's pretty amazing! I would highly recommend using this product if you're planning a setup like mine, but if you have two 4k HD monitors, you'll probably need to go to the second or 3rd more expensive optional modules to run those displays. I'm very happy with this purchase and it works perfect for my needs!

Buen producto cumple lo que promete y me dio la solución que buscaba, fácil de instalar.

Excellente station d’accueil pour de multitâche, elle est très fiable. La connexion avec mes 2 écrans et les ports USB simplifie mon travail, la charge de 60W maintient mon ordinateur portable prêt à l’emploi. De plus l’installation rapide et sans souci ! Merci

Works great! I use it for my laptop and extend to two screens. Really easy to setup. I plugged things into the slots and it worked.

Excelente producto

simplemente instale el driver y mis 3 monitores recibieron señal, facil simple y elegante. Ahora en mi oficina tengo 3 monitores
