New as delivered HDMI port didn’t work but display port connection did so set it up that way. Used known good HDMI cables and display that worked side by side with old HP system but wouldn’t work either the new dock. Since I had display port cable I just used that as it worked and I didn’t want to wait on a new dock or go through the hassle of warranty exchange.
Would of rated it 5 stars if HDMI port would have worked.
G5 dock came on time. It works perfectly with another Thunderbolt device and all the peripherals (e.g., mouse, keyboard, etc.) The HDMI connection works great because the prior brand docking was not rendering the accurate color saturation. Overall, we are super happy with the purchase.
This little beauty does everything I want it to in a compact package. I can pull in my beloved MS Natural keyboard, my ancient Deskjet 932c printer, my external hard drive and my external monitor, and everything works well together to give me a real personal computer experience. As my needs change I can add other external devices like a DVD drive.
