In order to succeed, you must To make use of the touch function, most touch monitors have an additional USB connection (back to the PC). It is no problem to connect that to the dock.

The downside to that is that it's a manual process, and some older touch drivers won't work if several touch devices are attached to the system (but the ones that came with Windows 8 appear to work This is a subtle answer, but I hope you find it helpful.

I am wondering if you can assist me because there is a problem with Plugable's customer service. As you can see, my configuration is as follows. 1 is a digital monitor connected to the USB 3 port. Monitor 2 - connected via VGI Digital (to Dell Docking Station) Monitor 1 - is connected via digital monitor to the VGA port. A USB device can connect to 0 computers. USB 3.0 Plugable (the Plugable USB 3.0). (Monitor 0 is connected to the Dell Docking Station via HDMI) My laptop is docked into the Docking Station, and the screen on my laptop is exactly like the screen on Therefore, the digital monitor that is connected via USB to the Plugable 3 will be displayed on the digital monitor. It creates a problem because the docking station is not being recognized by both the docking station and the docking station from Dell. *br>Monitor 3 - connected via VGI Digital (to the Dell Docketing Station) *br>Eventually I will add a 4th monitor. (Problem is that the Dell laptop screen shows exactly the same as Monitor 1). In the event that this problem is resolved, I will have 4 monitors attached to my laptop. The laptop is open since I don't like to use the keyboard while working. Could you please advise me if there is another way to work around this issue? With this app, customers can connect multiple monitors to their Dell laptops. This was one of Plugable's main selling points. A new USB 3.0 plugable device is also available. It is clear that a docking station with zero capability allowed simultaneous sound and multiple screen configuration at the same time while the other tools (early versions)
This device has two Video outputs one DVI and one HDMI. This allows you to work with three monitors at the same time. Currently, I am using my laptop and another A device of this kind works as follows By connecting the Docking Station to your laptop or computer via USB3, you are able to connect up to two monitors. Windows will automatically detect the monitors and offer you the choice of using them as extended desktops or to duplicate the desktop across all monitors. I extended my desktop (my laptop working at 2880 x 1620 and my secondary monitor at 1920 x 1080). I use this monitor almost exclusively for Outlook. With older versions of Windows, this doesn't work very well unless you use an external program such as Multiple Monitors.

The docking station I'm using is exactly what I need. My laptop is a Lenovo Yoga 910, and I did a lot of research, but I was not sure how I would be able to extend its display to two external displays. My search for a docking station then led me to Although I was unsure whether or not it would work, I contacted Plugable support and received a prompt response confirming that it would function with my laptop. So far, my docking station has worked perfectly since I received it, plugged it in, and tested it out. To share with you a few steps I had to go through to get this working under Windows 10 is the primary reason for leaving this review 1) The drivers were not automatically updated, so you will need to do this yourself.
2) The instructions are not 100% clear in this regard. You can also open up Windows Explorer, right-click on My Computer, and select properties if you aren't sure how to do this. On the left side of the dialogue box that appears, click Manage Devices. You will see the Plugable device here under USB devices. You can right-click on this and select Update Drivers to update the driver. Once you are done with the prompts, choose to search on the Internet for drivers. You should be able to get the drivers you need with this. I chose to extend my display to only the monitor attached to my HDMI cable when I previously tried to extend it to an external monitor. To get the display to extend to two monitors, you will need to modify some display settings. By opening your system settings, by clicking on the System menu item and then clicking on the Display menu item, you can accomplish this. It should be possible to see three different displays in the settings, but only two are actively displayed. You have to scroll down to the section titled Multiple Displays and then select 'Extend desktop to this display' from the drop down menu when you reach the section. Your display should now extend to both monitors. You may need to scroll back up to the top to rearrange the screens as you wish
Hope this is of use to anyone having trouble setting up dual monitor external displays.
I was unable to use the software due to a lot of lag I had a bad experience with the support. Due to the positive reviews, I was really excited about this game, but there is so much lag that I can't play it. After I contacted support, they said to move the mouse dongle to a different port. I did so and it still was not working. My mouse and keyboard slowed down production when I tried to get it to work. I tried everything I could to get it to work, but there was a lot of lag. experienced monitor issues as well, since they all went blank all at once. The dock station would need to be reset in order for them to work again. I was not pleased with my experience, but it could have been the dud. As a result, I am returning it and buying another brand. I wouldn't buy from this brand Update
Comparing this Plugable to a Dell docking station, I found that the latter was a night and day difference. This Plugable docking station was also pretty good out of the box, but the Dell docking station worked flawlessly right out of the box. If I were you, I would avoid purchasing the Plugable docking station in favor of a Dell docking station.
I got the job done. Just to let you know what I'm using, just in case you want to try this setup. The Surface Pro 4 includes an Intel i7 and 16GB of RAM. This package includes a 2-panel dual display dock as well as two 3-panel plug-ins. Through a 3. 0 to HDMI adapter, it can be connected to the TV. As for the monitors, there are three HP LCD monitors with a USB port. My 27", IPS LED FHD Monitors (model# T3M86AA#ABA) wouldn't really work with my 2. But that is not the only problem. As for the 0 behind the dock, well, they did, but it was laggy when a window was minimized and video played fine. The laggy behavior disappeared once I connected the card to the third channel. In reading every single review on Amazon, after looking at every product, I have to say I am glad I found these docks From the moment everything started working, there was no need to tweak anything. Any issues I encounter will be updated some time down the road, but so far nothing has been encountered. I just wanted to thank you for your comment and hope this helps anyone considering this product. I don't regret it, and I think you will too. Buying the Microsoft dock is a waste of money (don't get it).
I really like this! In conjunction with my Microsoft Surface Pro 3, I use this as a "home base. " I am glad I opted for this solution rather than the official Microsoft Surface dock, as all the reviews pointed me in this direction. With this docking station I am able to run two widescreen monitors (one runs HDMI to HDMI, the other DVI to DVI, both at 1920 x 1080 - one connected to a computer, one hooked up to an external monitor). I could not tell the difference between the two monitors), wired ethernet, another USB 2. 0 port. The score is 0-4. Using a port hub to connect non-portable devices The power of I got a USB 3 and a USB 3 stick, which was all I needed to connect peripherals (keyboard, mouse, card reader). The reader can only read 0 cards. Only one USB 3 device is needed To link all of this together, I run zero plugs to my Surface. In order to leave the house with my tablet, I take it out of the wall socket I simply plug my tablet back in when I need to work at my "workstation" and everything works as it should. I can't imagine living a mobile lifestyle without it.
The setup process is straightforward. Plug in the dock to your computer or laptop and update your software. Installing software takes a couple of minutes. If you have multiple monitors, you'll need DVI and Hdmi cables for each monitor, depending on the connection found on each one. Furthermore, I have a 42" screen hooked up to a straight HDMI cable from my laptop. I have four screens in my office. A laptop screen, two 19" monitors on that wall and a 42" screen on my desk. The TV on the wall is not on in this picture, but I will upload one that is. This information is provided in the hope of helping.
