Can someone help me? I have this dock. I only wanted to extend 2 regular monitors to my Macbook. Well I downloaded the display link driver. Plugged in 1 HDMI to the HDMI out and the external screen works. But that is where it ends. I don't have a display port cable, just another HDMI cable and another monitor. So I tried plugging the other HDMI cable in but the other monitor doesn't work whatsoever. So all i have is 1 external monitor working. Can someone help me get the other external monitor to show?
You can only have 1 HDMI cable plugged in at a time. You need a display port or another connection. Happened to me where I used 2 HDMI. Did not work! I used a display port for my 144 hz and HDMI for my secondary monitor.
The "Ivanky Dock Fusion Max 1" is by far superior, with 2.5gb ethernet & 20ports with 1 included cable & it has thunderbolt 4 chips well (especially for mac) check it out, also if it's in your budget pairing them together is the true perfect setup. Decent video though.
I was just thinking.... expensive KVM switch. It should really have DP 1.4a, but nobody ever consults with end-users. "We decide what is good for you" - Hey that is Windsor?
Usually a monitor has dp and hdmi, so I don't get these videos showing something with a game console. Even if the laptop has no dp, a monitor usually has two hdmi inputs, so I don't understand why I should buy a device as expensive as the game console itself just to press a green button on a dock instead of pressing the button on my monitor. Am I missing something here?
You make a good point. In my case, my gaming monitor is wall mounted and the input switch is on the back and means I have to pull the monitor out to switch inputs (auto switching is enabled but doesn’t always work). This dock makes it’s much easier. Though, an HDMI Switch would do the same at a lower cost but since I wanted a dock anyways for the extra ports, this works.
But the real question is... Is it worth spending half the price of a device just because the connectivity is trash everywhere else? VRR isn't new and that pisses me off how it's barely available through docks.
You said it all, if it had a KVM switch built in, it would be the best thing ever.
It seems super easy to switch different devices!

Mine takes about 5 seconds to switch which is pretty slow. Between PS5 and laptop (clamshell closed). Is this same as yours?
Would I be able to do dual 4k 120hz monitors

hey - are you using a macbook air M2 chip? so in this case do you do dual input (your MacBook Air M2 & xBox) and with dual display?

Hi! How can we reach out to you for a collab?
This looks amazing! Is there a way to set a keybind to switch devices? If so this would pair very well with an Elgato Stream Deck.
