These are the displays that I have run simultaneously on this dock A resolution of 3440x1440 at 120Hz, and a resolution of 2560x1440 at I'm using ASUS displays and I had to disable the "deep sleep" feature on them to make them wake when my laptop wakes up. I use it all the time.
It is possible for the dock to charge iPhones independently, but you will need to connect your computer first. It needs the initial connection to charge but can be unplugged afterwards and it will keep charging. In addition, a charging driver can be downloaded for Mac devices from our support page that can improve power output.
In both monitors, I am connecting DP connections on the Display Port (DP) connections on the CalDigit dock to two 4K LG The MacBook Pro I have is a 2018 model, and the Mac Mini I have is a 2020 model. *br>*br> The CalDigit dock has a display port connection that I'm using on one monitor. In order to connect the second monitor I used the Thunderbolt 3 port (TB3) on the CalDigit dock (which looks like a USB-C port) It has a lightning bolt instead of a C If the port is marked 10G, you have to use it, not the one that is marked USB. I'm using a DP to DP cable that I think came with the monitor for the DP to DP connection. The 6 ft Cable Matters TB3 to DP cable I am using to connect TB3 to DP is ASIN B01J6DT070. The problem with thunderbolt 3 and usb 2.0 is that they are not designed to be compatible The port C and the port C" have the same first two letters, but they are not the same. For the cable and port to work with a monitor and/or computer that expect Thunderbolt 3 (such as the MacBook Pro), you need to make sure they are "Thunderbolt 3 compliant.".
To do this, you will need a USB device On the secondary Thunderbolt port, there is an HDMI 1.4 adapter that connects via a USB Type C to HDMI

* Continue reading to find out what the full scoop is. Having been recommended to get a MacBook Pro by my film professor, I am a Chapman film student. As soon as I learned about a hub, I needed it. Most of the USB-based products I tried worked Hubs with C ports are equally terrible because only one or two of the ports will function. The problem is even more severe if you are exporting to a monitor for editing. You can import your RAW photos or media and use the display on hubs that cost up to $100. But you will encounter limitations on hubs that cost $30. As I asked around, it was recommended that I find something that could utilize Thunderbolt 3 to the full extent. What the heck? So USB is the way to go The Thunderbolt 3 dock is what I needed for content creation, as Thunderbolt 3 and C are different. In their recommendation, the Wirecutter recommends the CalDigit TS3 Plus, and since they are the Wirecutter, that recommendation cannot be disputed. After shipping CalDigit's TS3 Plus from Amazon, the device arrived in a few days, and I can now get to work. The current setup of my computer is a Dell 27" 4K display, and I have a lot Currently I have a SanDisk SATA SSD plugged into the Type-B port of my PC It's a lot faster than using USB 3. 0 (really fast), and you can back things up on an external Seagate 8TB drive (really slow, but a powerful piece of hardware). As far as end of the day dumps go, I film with a Sony A7iii camera and take photos with an SD card slot. It seems like there are a lot of things connected to this device, and all of it works. I put the USB flash drive a classmate brought over last night in one of the rear ports when I was done. By utilizing the optical audio, I can set up a great 5 channel surround sound kit. Someone brought over their DAC this morning, which proved to be even more crucial than the sound system. My investment has only lasted two days, but I already feel like it was one of the best decisions I have ever Probably the only thing I don't like about this device is that the power brick is quite bulky, but since it can charge my MacBook to 85 watts, I don't mind that. I have a spare charger, so that means I have one on hand! If I remember correctly, they cost around $100 at.
Docks like these are great, but you need to make sure that you buy the right cables otherwise you'll end up with a lot of headaches. It is not uncommon for cable manufacturers to mislabel their products on Amazon or claim they can perform something that they cannot, so you can do everything right and have a dock that does not In order to use my 2020 MacBook Air and two HDMI monitors, I configured the following **** - Take advantage of the USB port A HDMI cable connecting a C to HDMI. Out of several cables I tried, this one by QGeeM is the only one to work for me The ACTIVE Displayport to HDMI adapter is the best choice. It is not possible to use passive adapters. I found this one from BENFEI to be useful.
It was really hard for me to decide whether or not to get Among the docks I've used are the original Lenovo Thunderbolt Dock, the Lenovo Graphics Dock, the HP Omen Graphics Accelerator, and the Thunderbolt dock from the OEM.
It is very impressive to see the size and features of this unit as I have it connected to my computer. We have a monitor connected to the DisplayPort port and a soundbar hooked up to the optical port using all of the USB ports. As far as I can tell, my XPS13 is working and charging properly. There has not been a single problem with this dock over the last week and I appreciate how well built, large and quality it is. Power supply with plenty of muscle. I highly recommend this book. As of 7/23 When I would plug in the dock, I would get a blue screen of death due to a hardware conflict. Following some trial and error (and some instructions from CalDigit about where to start investigating), it was discovered that a strange BIOS update had been applied You are not alone if you have been experiencing problems since mid-July with an XPS13 9370 On June 2018, they should make sure that the BIOS version they have is not A current version of the software The device was on version 3 (7/24/18) and once I had reflashed it, I had no issues. This page was printed on Jan 15, 2019. I have connected all the peripheral devices I could possibly connect, and the unit has happily recognized (and passed through) all of them. The least I can say is that there has not been a single issue or hiccup in 400+ hours I don't know.
