We’ve used multiple HP USB-C docks with no issues, but the G5 is unfortunately a serious outlier. We purchased nine of them, and nearly all had significant problems—primarily only delivering power but not handling data or video. Yes, just power. Imagine plugging in a dock and watching your monitor stay blank like it's silently judging you.
I want to be clear: we’re long-time HP users. We like HP. We plan to continue purchasing HP laptops, docks, and monitors well into the future. But this model genuinely tested our patience—and our IT department’s will to live.
After digging through forums we finally found a Reddit post that offered a workaround. That fixed the worst of it, but a product like this shouldn’t require sleuthing on social media just to function properly.
Here’s hoping HP addresses this with better firmware, or at the very least, a disclaimer that reads: “Works best after community-sourced black magic
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Monitors have been randomly shutting off for brief periods of time while I am using them. There were other reviews I read prior to purchasing that claimed this was happening to users.

These don't seem to be very stable. I have them in my office and my third monitor has never worked properly with it. I've had others that just fail to connect to a laptop until we've rebooted the laptop 3+ times. The 1 year warranty is pretty limiting when you have issues like this.

This dock causes monitors to flicker every few seconds. I have a G2 with 2 HP & HP laptop, has been working without any issue, but the same setup (cables-laptop-monitors) with this G5, not working at all.
