Overview
Dell built this universal dock to connect a laptop through USB-C or an older USB port and spread its output across external monitors and USB devices. Video runs through DisplayLink technology, so it works with a range of PC brands and operating systems as described.
Multi-monitor Ultra HD output over a single laptop cable is the reason to buy, and DisplayLink lets one dock serve USB-C and older USB laptops from different makers. The highest resolution mode ties up both DisplayPort outputs, and the third screen drops to a lower refresh rate.
Who it's for
Hot desks and home offices that switch between laptops from different makers get one dock for monitors and USB devices. Anyone who needs full refresh rate on every screen should note the third display runs slower.
Pros and cons
- Works over USB-C or older USB
- Multi-monitor support through DisplayLink
- High resolution single display mode
- Mix of DisplayPort and HDMI outputs
- Laptop charging capability not stated
- Third display limited to a lower refresh rate
- Top resolution mode needs dual DisplayPort
- Video depends on DisplayLink support on the laptop
Performance notes
Video is sent through DisplayLink over the USB link, so smoothness depends on the laptop's processing load and the bandwidth of that connection. Adding a third Ultra HD screen lowers its refresh rate, and the top resolution mode uses both DisplayPort outputs for one monitor.
