A: Yes, the dock works with computing devices (ex: laptops, tablets, 2-in-1’s, etc.) that have at least one available USB-A 3.0 or USB-C port.
A: For USB-C that support Power Delivery, yes. Please check the specs of your laptop or contact us and we can help you identify if your USB-C port supports Power Delivery. USB-A connection can only provide data and video but we do sell a power splitter that supports most 20V/60W laptops, see K38310 for more information.
A: Windows 10 or above, macOS 11 or above, Chrome OS 114 or above.
A: Once the DisplayLink driver is installed, this dock can display up to three external monitors at 4K @ 60Hz for MacBooks with a USB-C Alt mode port.
A: Up to four displays are supported on a Windows laptop, with plug-and-play support for dual displays via USB-C® Alt mode or expansion up to Quad 4K @ 60Hz via two DisplayLink® connections.
A: DisplayLink technology is a codec sent over a USB 3.0 Type-A connection that offers crisp text and graphics. This dock is a hybrid dock where video 1 and video 2 are plug-and-play; however, it is highly recommended to install* the DisplayLink Driver before using it to get the full benefits of up to triple displays for macOS and up to quad displays for Windows laptops.

This workaround solution will allow you to watch the video using one external monitor that is connected to the MST video port, which can be either DP++ for video 1 or HDMI for video 2.
