Kensington USB-C USB 3.0 Docking Station - SD4700P USB-C and USB 3.0 Dual Display Universal Laptop Docking Station with DisplayPort++ and HDMI outputs, 6 USB ports (K38240EU)

Product Information

Another slightly odd choice is that the top is slightly recessed, creating a tray of sorts for small change, or whatever. Maximum Resolution Supported: Single 8K 30Hz or Dual 4K 60Hz via the available Thunderbolt™ 4 ports. M1/M2 Base Chipset MacBook or USB-C Alt Mode laptop supports only a single external display. The obvious conclusion is that this isn’t practical, or at least some significant compromises are required in what you can realistically connect and how it might work. As we might have predicted before opening the box, the glossy surfaces attract dust and fingerprints compared with the textured ones, that don’t. Please note that the driver will need to be manually installed until it is available via Windows Updates later this month. Support:

Our experience of DisplayLink hasn’t been great, we’ll admit. Because it requires some significant processing on the PC, how much bandwidth it uses can vary wildly depending on the amount of change occurring, and most laptops don’t have the spare performance to drive it properly. While the issue is not limited to Kensington products using DisplayLink, the below products from Kensington are currently impacted. How well this works for any specific user is entirely dependent on many factors, such as the laptop host hardware, the resolutions of the monitors and the amount of motion on the displays.

Summary:

If you are willing to accept dual display output, there are many alternatives that offer better value for money and those with Thunderbolt 3 are less bandwidth compromised. Our immediate reaction to that information was to wonder why mounting six complicated cabling ports on this device was a better option than providing three DisplayPort and some inexpensive cable adapters for HDMI? Dual video is only supported on Windows 10 and 8.1 devices (Mac and Chrome USB-C devices do not support dual video over MST). Your device must be running Windows 10, 8.1 or Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10) or later, or Chrome OS (R53 or above).

If you don’t have USB-C and are using the provided USB-A to USB-C cable that Kensington kindly includes, then a maximum of two 4K displays is possible. At a rough estimate, the ports on this device would require more than 76Gb/s of connection to the host computer to have all the necessary bandwidth, and it only has 10Gb/s.The alternative display connecting method is DisplayLink, another technology designed to achieve multiple displays over limited bandwidth.
