11/14/2023 0 Comments Dell docking station 3 monitors![]() Plugable doesn’t state the USB-A ports can charge devices. Plus, unlike the previous model, you get the same amount of ports for each type of output. Many of the best monitors on the market may use either DisplayPort or HDMI connections, so being able to choose between the two types of video output is a major win. While a display this size isn’t ideal for my general working day, it’s good to know that the Plugable docking station can push out 4K resolution with a stable 60Hz refresh rate. With its 4K resolution support, I tried using it on a 50-inch Sharp 4K TV. I was even able to connect my Meta Quest 2 to charge and transfer video files. Low and behold, everything worked in a cinch, with my laptop and iPad charging while I was making full use out of the external monitors. Oh, and my iPad Air (2020) for good measure. To see how each port works, I plugged in an Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 and hooked it up to dual Asus VG278 monitors via HDMI, along with other connections including a Corsair K65 RGB Mini gaming keyboard, HyperX wireless headphones via a USB-A stick and a Razer Naga Pro mouse. That’s where the Plugable USB-C Triple 4K Docking Station shines, as it delivers a 13 port selection that can match just about any setup. While Thunderbolt 4 ports are making their way into modern systems, with the Anker Apex Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station and Kensington SD5700T Thunderbolt 4 Dock leading the charge to support these systems, it’s hard to beat the flexibility of a variety of outputs for multiple scenarios. Plugable USB-C Triple 4K Display Docking Station performance The jump from 60W Power Deilvery to 100W won’t make a huge difference, seeing as many will want to keep their laptop plugged in at full charge anyway, but those who are constantly on the move will appreciate the faster charging times. Not all of us have three 4K monitors to fully utilize the docking station's potential, but having the variety to choose between an HDMI or DisplayPort connection is hugely welcome. There’s nothing stopping me from laying the dock horizontally, but it looks awkward as that’s not what it’s designed for.Īlong the back, there are four USB-A 3.0 slots with 5Gbps transfer speeds, three HDMI 2.0 and three DisplayPort++ 1.4 that support 4K (3840 x 2160) at 60Hz, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and a USB-C host port offering 100W Power Delivery (96W certified). That said, some users may prefer to lay their docking stations flat to hide behind monitors or laptops. With a vertical design, it saves you desk real estate and offers a cleaner setup that isn’t filled with jumbled cables. To let you know everything is connected, it also has a power and a USB LED along the front.Ĭompared to the 7.5-inch tall UD-3900 Dual Monitor Docking Station, the UD-ULTC4K stands at 8 inches with a slightly wider base. It fits in nicely with any style desk setup, thanks to the curved front and gill-like vents offering a slick look. Its sturdy, yet sizable rubberized base plants it firmly on a desk - ready to connect your laptop to plenty of monitors and peripherals. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? Sure, it would be nice to see the dock have the option to lose the vertical-only stand to allow for more placement options on a desk, but that doesn’t mean its port placement and sleek, black plastic frame hasn’t been well thought out. Check out why this docking station is worthy to sit on your desk. Plugable listened to customer demands and greatly expanded the capabilities of its most popular docking station, and the result is the most well-rounded docking station I’ve reviewed. Oh, and four USB-A 3.0 ports for good measure. ![]() Now with a host of upgrades to turn any USB-C supported laptop into a powerhouse, the new Plugable USB-C Triple 4K Docking Station is better than ever before with extra HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, a 100W Power Delivery (PD) boost, an essential SD Card Reader, and an extra USB-C port with 20W PD and up to 10Gbps transfer rates. Not with the exact same specs, however, as the company decided to give it a fitting “rebirth” of sorts. It’s hard to pick up that model these days, so Plugable decided to bring it back. ![]() Regardless of the number of docking stations on the market today with similar functionality, Plugable struck gold with its USB-C Triple 4K Docking Station (UD-ULTC4K) back in 2017. When a product goes out of stock, it shows there is huge consumer demand for it.
