Questions about Targus USB-C Dual 4K

I suspect that it is a driver problem. I therefore use a Kensington docking station. And everything works via a USB-C (I also have 2 monitors). In the office we have HP docking stations, so I always start the DisplayLink Manager to make it work. As I said, probably a driver problem, the power from an Mx-Mac is completely sufficient, but is probably controlled by Apple, which hardware should work (therefore Kensington fits). *I use a Macbook Pro M1 Max and a Macbook Air M3.

Sorry, I can't answer that. I do not use a docking station. Greetings

Hello 😊 Mine is not hot, but it is very warm. So far it is still working fine. I don't know if it's normal for it to get so hot.

That depends on your notebook. I use the part as a docking station for my home office and have connected 2x WQHD. My old business notebook (i5 8th Gen) couldn't handle it. My new one (i5 12th gen) has no problem with it. Long story short: even if it's only WQHD for me, I'm sure the dock can handle 2x 4K (as certified as far as I know) if the processor and/or the USB-C specification of your notebook provide the corresponding power.

Good morning My nephew, who is a computer scientist, ordered this for me. Unfortunately, I do not know about it. Sorry.

There are notebooks that cannot output a picture via USB-C and can only transfer data, this is also possible with PCs, i.e. neither picture nor sound nor LAN is possible. Does USB at least work from the USB ports of the dock? Or does that not work either, in which case I would guess incompatibility. Perhaps the USB-C port on the notebook is not intended for this purpose, but that would be extremely strange, because data should always work.

I have unfortunately been through 3 such docks from (50-150 CHF) and of course only the things from 200-300CHF work. I don't know why, probably something to do with non-existent USB-C standards. (Maybe change the cable?)

Why not get a smaller adapter if you don't need 4K? 55.20 Sandberg USB-C Dock 2 x HDMI, 1 x VGA, 100 W, USB A

There is no additional cable, it's only a hub that you can plug on your laptop for using different ports than the initials. The electricity will come from your computer.

It probably won't work like that. The T470 works with Thunderbolt3, and Displayport/HDMI is part of the protocol. The IdeaPad 330 only has USB-C 3.1. In order to use the HDMI connections of the dock, the USB-C connection would have to have DP Alt Mode, i.e. forward the display. However, this does not seem to be the case with the Ideapad 330. The problem is that USB-C is basically just a connector. It can support the Thunderbolt3 protocol, whereby display and data etc. are included in the Thunderbolt specification. If only USB (protocol) is supported, this can include different functions... But it does not have to... Here is an article that explains the whole thing a little better: https://www.benq.com/en-us/knowledge-center/knowledge/usb-c-introduction-what-is-dp-alt-mode.html In short, with your Ideapad you have to connect the monitor directly to the notebook and the dock can only be used for USB and probably Ethernet.

Hi Anonymous. What kind of notebook do you have? That should depend more on your GPU. Resolution is limited with 2 monitors, as usually only one DisplayPort is output via usb-c. I also had this problem. the only solution was to use two identical displays.

Hello, I also have a ThinkPad for business and operate 2 monitors with the Thargus.everything works perfectly.

Hi just connected two monitors to an HP laptop today with no problems.

This is normal for docking stations that use USB-C technology. In your case, you need a docking station that uses Thunderbolt technology. e.g. i-tec Thunderbolt 3 to (HDMI, 27 cm) Lenovo ThinkPad Dock Gen 2 (2 x HDMI, 2 x DisplayPort, 135 W, Thunderbolt, USB A)

No, I have just dealt intensively with this product. According to the manufacturer's information, dual monitors are possible with macOS, but only mirror... The answer above might help (i.e. that the docking station must support Thunderbolt).

No, the M1 does not support 2 external displays. You need a display link capable adapter. This one is shown with the possibility, but it does not correspond to the actual functionality.

In this case, please contact our customer service directly so that the problem can be checked and you can be helped accordingly. This may be a product fault. https://helpcenter.digitec.ch/hc/de/requests/new

Your power supply unit with USB-C connection is connected to this docking station. The connection is not visible in the pictures. It is located where the power symbol is printed.
