Plugable 12-in-1 USB C Triple Monitor Docking Station, Triple 4K Displays with 3X HDMI or 3X DisplayPort, Compatible with Mac, Windows, Thunderbolt, USB4, USB-C (100W PD, 6X USB Ports, Ethernet)

I'm currently running two AOC 32" 1440p, 144hz monitors off of this dock, plugged into my 2020 Macbook Air M1, and this dock works perfect! No more single-monitor limitation (props to Apple for the ingenuity there).For starters, it's important to note that you have to install the drivers from Plugable before DisplayLink can connect to a second or third monitor. This is not a difficult process despite what another review claimed.Also worth noting is the color difference between the two scrreens. HDMI1 is just a passthrough and is not being rendered by the DisplayLink driver. Personally I like this because it allows for more bandwidth rather than trying to render three displays using my Macbook CPU. If you have dual displays, plug them into slots 2 and 3 and you'll have perfect color matching.But here's a major caveat that's frustrating about this dock. The ethernet port originally worked great, but once I upgraded my Macbook to 12.3, my ethernet crippled to a halt (I'm on the latest drivers fwiw). I was able to do a workaround by plugging a Dell USB to Ethernet adapter into one of the dock's USB3 ports and I'm now at full speeds, but this is a pretty big deal on a $250 docking station. I'll be reaching out to Plugable Support and see what they can do to resolve this, then posting back.**Update: This is the reply I received from Plugable about the Ethernet Adapter:> Thank you for contacting us, I am sorry this is not working as expected and I am happy to help!> We have had quite a few reports of similar behavior and are investigating an issue with the UD-6950PDZ Ethernet controller, at this time we do not have a specific cause or resolution for this behavior.> We are recommending affected users connect to the network either via WiFi, or using a USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter connected to the docking station, bypassing the onboard Ethernet connection. If you do not have a Gigabit capable USB 3.0 Ethernet adapter I would be happy to send you an adapter that can be used with the docking station while we work on this issue.**Update2: Plugable recently reached out and offered to replace my docking station with their updated model. Since I had returned this one, I did not reply, but updating you 5 stars assuming the Ethernet issue has been resolved

I am not a rookie, 30 years IT.No choice, I need to split time at my desk with a Windows laptop and an Apple laptop. Wanted ONE docking station I could use ONE CABLE and support TWO EXTERNAL MONITORS, and switch as necessary, easily, between the laptops by connecting a single cable.Know this, Windows is not the problem, Windows devices and external monitors are easy and will work with a vast amount of docking stations.Apple is the trouble here. It is clear that Apple believes every single Mac user sits either on a couch, in a coffee shop, or in a college classroom and only needs one monitor. Come an Apple, get with it.Before the 'Cult of Apple' comes after me, YES, I get it, you 'can' do multiple monitors on a Mac but Macs have limitations and you need to get the entire United States tax code to decipher, clearly and simply, which Mac, which year, which version, which color, which state, county, city you live in, divide by 7 and then most importantly which processor = what type and how many external monitors. Again, does not need to be this difficult.Anyway....Most of the docking stations you will find and buy that 'work' with a Mac will only MIRROR the monitors, useless.1 - Buy this docking station.2 - Install the required driver (DisplayLink).3 - ALLOW it to capture your screen (relax, it isn't recording your activity, it's capturing display specifics to function).4 - Plug it all in it'll work.(caution, be sure you have the correct cables for your monitors, I have curved widescreens and they require 60Hz HDMI cables).Audio works just fine through the USB-C connector cable, you simply have to choose the correct OUTPUT: Plugable Audio. This assumes, of course, that you have plugged your desktop speakers into the docking station :-)

This is my second triple monitor dock from Plugable, my old one only had display ports so I wanted to update my dock to use all HDMI and move from a tower type dock to one that I could mount under my laptop tray for my new desk. Shipping was fast and was packed well. I got everything cabled up and one of my displays did not work. After self troubleshooting the Displaylink software and swapping cables and monitors to verify all connections were good and monitors were good, I contacted Plugable support. Pat from support was very responsive and was able to deduct that I wasn't using the USB-C cable that came with the dock!! Don't just use any plain old USB-C charging cable to connect your laptop to the dock. If it is not rated for data and display capabilities you will have issues getting all monitors to work! Luckily after some back and forth with support I ordered the correct cable from Amazon (i threw away the one that the dock came with because I wanted a shorter cable for my set up). In the meantime I found an Amazon Basics USB-C cable in my drawer o cables (you know that drawer, you have one too!) and all three monitors are up and running! I confirmed all three monitors can run on 60hz 4K resolution, but its too high of a resolution for my old eyes so I run it at 2560x1440 and everything looks great. I use this for work and some browsing/video stuff and it looks great. I don't think I would recommend for high end gaming or anything that needs high refresh rate, but for my use, everything looks and works great just like my last one. Highly recommend Plugable. Both docks I have owned have lived up to my expectations and my first experience with their support was spot on. Thanks for a great product!
