UGREEN USB C DisplayLink Docking Station, Dual 4K@60Hz, Driver Required

Revolutionized my desktop layout! I had an older docking station, with a LOT more ports, but I don’t need them any longer. This docking station has enough connections, actually one more, than I need. It allows pass-through USB-C power for my M1 MacBook Pro (can use the M1 magnetic power or USB-C power). It supports two displays by HDMI or DP. It allows A-B-C type screen extension, not simple mirroring, which I take full advantage of. I coupled this docking station with a high-capacity USB-C charger, and from the charger run power to the docking station, a second line to my external monitor, and a charging cable for my iPad and phone. Using the USB-A, I have my Time Machine drive connected for backup. It was easy to set up and, as of today, is working perfectly. One cable to connect to my M1 for power, Time Machine, Ethernet (oh, yeah, 1Gb Ethernet), and external displays.

Greatest thing since sliced bread. Works automagically!

Works fine with my corporate supplied m5 mbp. It already had display link installed. One thing to note, use a dedicated power supply (I picked up an Anker 100w usbc supply). Before that I was using a 120w supply with three ports, which I also use for my ipad and headset charging. That supply seemed to glitch when I plugged in my iPad or headset, causing the power to cycle to the dock. This blanked the screen and disconnected my ethernet (this caused my rdp session I had open to disconnect). Once I replaced it with the Anker supply it's been rock solid for 2 days.

I have a macbook pro m2 chip. Unfortunately the base m2 chip only supports one monitor natively. I've seen a bunch of reviews on displaylink saying its buggy so I was a little worried because one of my monitors is set up vertically so I wasn't sure if it was going to work. Setting up the dock was super easy, when you first connect it to your computer a drive pops up named 'driver' and it includes the link to the download for displaylink. Once you download it, it launches and works without further setup. Since I have a vertical monitor I had to change the rotation in the settings, I first tried the macbook display settings but I couldn't get it to work. I turned to the displaylink manager but I couldn't get the application to open, it was just running in the background. So if you want to access the UI its at the top right hand side you'll see the little icon, I didn't know this at first. My experience so far using it for a few days it's been working fantastic I'm not experiencing much glitchyness or lag or delay at all and it's been working well. As for the dock itself the build quality is good and it performs well, however as according to other reviews as well it runs pretty hot which does hinder performance. What I did is I got a little desk fan and I have it pointed down at the dock and it works perfectly the dock doesn't get hot at all and everything is at optimal performance. The only thing is I wish it had more usb ports there's only 2 at the front for me to plug in my mouse and webcam, I had to connect my keyboard with bluetooth and I have the fan plugged into my pc so a few more ports would have been nice. I'm probably going to get a usb c hub to plug into the usb c port to get a few more usb ports. This saved me a lot of money because the only other way you can use 2 monitors with a macbook natively is by getting the newer pro or max chips and I don't want to upgrade to the m4 yet since my m2 is running strong.

This is not a PNP device. It requires a driver for the Synaptics chipset. If you're on enterprise IT YMMV. Love the form factor. Lightweight, small and portable. Really like the USBC pass thru power arrangement. Works 100% with my company M2 Max and my personal Win 11 laptops. Tested rock solid for Powerpoint presentation situations for feeding dual outputs. Probably going to buy a few more for work!

The manufacturer of this device and of any other device they make will not provide technical support for people who purchased their products from Amazon. You must contact the seller for technical support. The seller and the manufacturer are not the same. Once your return date has passed, you should not expect to get any response from the seller. Therefore, you will receive zero technical support for this product. With regard to the product itself, the screen flickers in and out in some situations on a MacBook. It also mounts a drive to your computer containing nothing but links to drivers. If you eject or unmount this drive, it just remounts immediately. So you will never get rid of that drive. Again, the only thing on this drive are links. Except if you’re on windows, in which it has an auto run file… Which is probably going to run something every time you start your computer… Virus? You are much better off buying one that is just a few dollars more from a company that is reputable like Pluggable. That is what I bought to replace this one that I bought.

If all you need is a basic dock to run two displays for simple office work, it'll work fine. However, due to how DisplayLink works, if your GPU gets bogged down, as it will during gameplay, heavy rendering, etc, this dock will not work whatsoever, and will simply cut your displays off and put the Mac to sleep. ONLY get this if your only use case for your Mac is something that will barely stress the GPU.

This works week with my Mac book Pro and two 32” Samsung monitors. I have it at the office and one at home too!

Me ha solucionado perfectamente poner dos pantallas a mi Apple M1 y con salida de 10 g para disco duro. Botones de encendido y carga a la vez el ordenador. Material de aluminio y perfecto. Espero que dure tiempo

It was simple to install. Works instantly. Absolutely hazzle free.

I have an M1 Macbook pro ( the one with the ill fated touch bar) and while I love it for most use cases, it has the annoying limitiation of only supporting one external monitor. Fortunately DisplayLink software comes to the rescue and allows me to plug in up to three monitors with a DisplayLink dock. I had bought another brand dock before and this Ugreen dock was to replace it after it burned out. I couldn't be happier and this feels like a huge upgrade. My other dock didn't support full 4K resolution on output and the ports were also not as good. This one has all multiple USB C ports and a dedicated USB C for powering my mac so I really don't lose any conectity by using this on one of my ports.

I have used iMacs and Macbook Airs for a number of years now. My iMac is now not able to be upgraded to the latest OS and from past experience in the end communication between different machines running different OS's get steadily more problematic as the generational gap of the OS's grows. I also use my iMac much less now that I havee retired. I looked into running multiple screens off my M2 Air as a cheaper alternative to buying a new iMac. Essentially you can only run one extra display off an M2 Air, and HDMI splitterrs are not the same as docking stations. I ordered this device and it arrived quickly and was easy to set up. By using a separate power adapter for it I was able to connect my two Samsung 21" monitors to it, with the added advantage that it charges the M2 Air through the USB-C port as well. I downloaded the DisplayLink software from the Synaptics web site and it works fine with Mac OS Sonoma. There are plenty oof customisable features that all seem to work seamlessly. I also connected my Apple Magic Keyboard, TrackPad and Logitech MX master mouse with no problems. When connected all of my different Desktops on my M2 displayed just fine and when you disconnect the docking station the desktops return to the M2 Air exactly as they were before. The only thing I noticed is that when you connect extra screens the windows from the Air do not automatically resize to fit the the bigger screens, but hardly a problem. I have run Excel, Word, Music and a drawing package simultaneously with no noticeable speed penalties and the ability to use an external keyboard, mouse and trackpad is great.

Very happy with this product. Allow Mac to have 2 Monitors, stable Ethernet connection
