Dock is okay but getting external monitors configured took me over 1 hour. Connected dock to laptop then monitors to dock and everything works. On reboot everything was blank. My intend was to only use 2 external monitors with lid closed. It finally worked after using hdmi for primary monitor and dp for secondary monitor, closing lid and rebooting. Using this with HP omen gaming laptop. Also, not sure if this is laptop or dock problem, but with laptop lid closed, the dock cannot capture boot screen messages. For example if you enter bios setup, must open lid and use laptop display.
The unit would not pair with my current system. Definitely not plug and play. Video connection vis HTML to monitor was not working. Could not get microphone/speakers to adapt to my settings. Support website was down for 3 days when I tried to connect.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought 2 for new staff members after researching for compatibility. I worked for a day before the battery on their computer died an forced us to buy a new computer, the other worked for 2 weeks before causing the same issue with the 2nd computer. I was told I can’t return them because it’s over 30 days even though we didn’t take them out of the box for 2 weeks. All in all we are out 400 for the docks and 1800 for new computers that are not compatible with them now.
