Is there ANY way without adapter to leave MBA OPEN with internal display OFF to use MBA's INTERNAL Touch ID/keyboard/mouse with 2 external displays? Any solutions to this using 3rd party software to "trick" MBA/MacOS ibto doing this? Any chance Apple itself will update software to turn off MBA internal display while MBA open to allow this?

You deserve a Medal Man. I do not have words to thank you

Just curious. I did a quick look at your stores and your videos. I'm looking for a docking station that I can switch between two Windows laptops. Preferably USB-C. Want to share all the externals but be able to switch back and forth between laptops.

Does that works on MacBook Pro M3 Max Chip ?

great! Thanks

Lot of admin to set up 😶‍🌫️

So ridiculous that no one at Apple was like "hey guys.... It's the 21st century. Why are we doing this??"

i've sent this to at least three of my computer clients who have dual monitors (or laptop and a monitor), quick and to the point!

My laptop is an HP Elitebook, with Core i7-8650 CPU @ 1.90GHz 2.11 GHz, 8th Gen Processor. Has 32 GB RAM and the System Type is 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor. Can it handle 6 monitors? If yes, what product(s) would you recommend? Thanks!

Each display you add will grab some memory from the laptop or desktop. With a lot of displays that means there is less memory to run the apps themselves. I think there would be a cut off point where it no longer makes sense to add more displays. What that limit is would depend on how much memory there is in the machine and what apps you want to run and the resolution of the displays. But it's a nice idea. I do have 8 monitors at home, but they are on different machines. Some paired and some stand alone.

I already have a two-monitor dock at work, but I need to add a third. Can I use the USB-C to add a separate monitor apart from the dock? It's a very small monitor, 2x3 inches, that I use to display one piece of information throughout the day.

can I use a free video wall application for this Sir? thank you

**after 3 years:** I’m looking for a USB-C switcher that allows me to connect my USB-C EarPods to both my Mac Mini (for WhatsApp/Zoom calls) and my Pixel 7 Pro (for cellular calls). Here are the specifics of my setup: **Mac Mini:** Running macOS Ventura, primarily used for WhatsApp and Zoom calls. Pixel 7 Pro: Running Android 13, used for regular cellular phone calls. **USB-C EarPods:** Standard USB-C EarPods with built-in microphone. **Requirements:** The switcher should support seamless switching between devices without needing to unplug and replug the EarPods. It should also maintain audio quality and microphone functionality across both devices. Does anyone know of a USB-C switcher that can handle this setup?

Do the active cables introduce any latency?

hello sir, i have dell optiplex 3010 desktop having 2 display port vga, hdmi. want to add one more monitor, USB port available, whether possible device to connect plz..

I think the link to the 3rd option (2 screen without a docking station) is incorrect. That is for the Windows PC only, not Mac. Please check?

thank you

good video that sorts it out thanks

Model number? I don't know what to look for.

I have a M3 and a plugable thunderbolt 4 Dock and I can't see in two monitors, not sure if there is somenting I should update or connect

A link to BUY?

Link to buy?

This is the perfect solution for me in terms of hardware. Unfortunately, I am unable to download external software on my work computer. Is there a way to use the hardware without the software? Thank you!

thank you😁

Great video, appreciate all your help!

Although multi-window display has been implemented, is the heat generation of the hub within a controllable range?

just want to watch tv apps and videos from desktop hp computer need cord or adapter for hdim cord

I have a USB switch which allows me to switch Keyboard and Mouse, between my and my work laptop Lenovo docking station. It works fine for about 7 hours and the if I happen to switch back to my laptop docking station, my laptop says USC device not recognized and the usb ports on the docking station no longer work. I have had tried at least 4 different switches and it happens to all of them, leading me to this the issue is with the docking station. Any ideas why or what I can do?

Thank you

super helpful thanks alot sir.

I purchased 2 of your UGA -HDMI -2S units. currently running 5 outputs ( 5 if you include the laptop. ) These are used in commercial applications along with software I coded especially for multiscreen displays. Your hardware is nothing less than cutting-edge! - and your support team are really switched-on and knew EXACTLY the correct configuration I needed. In my humble opinion? - you are the ONLY company to go to for hardware of this type. I've been running your hardware for the past 5 months in-store and they are solid as a rock. - thanks guys. ;)

Thank you. This was the fix. = )

Hello Plugable, will this dock work with an older 2019 Macbook pro for 2 extended screens and does this dock require Display Link to be installed?

Will the UD 3900Z work as well?

And I was seeing people downloading apps to do this and it was built into it. You're right it's not obvious, you're the real MVP

The instructions say to only use the cables provided, but could an adapter to USB-work? My new MacBook Pro doesn't have a regular USB(A) port.

Awesome video

I have similar issue, but I am not using it in docking station. 1 laptop Rog strix scar2 2 external monitors of Dell p2419hc. One screen is on HDMI port (working fine) Other screen (3rd) is with mini DP to HDMI adaptor. All 3 can see in display settings but 3rd screen is not showing anything.

1 USB C with a pc.

When I download the Mac software manager and connect my macbook pro to it it only shows extended screens when open. When i close the lid to my macbook the screens turn off

Has anyone tested this? Does it work smoothly?

Thank you sir!

Why doesn't monitor need power cable to get on?

What makes this better then using a simple network cable or wifi-direct and transfer files with windows explorer?

Esto solo funciona con una laptop?

Ok, but this trick only works if the screen with the lower resolution is smaller. My lower resolution screen is larger than my high resolution screen. now what?

This works well if the displays are ordered side by side. If you put a second display above the macbook display, it doesn't work.

No matter what i do it always reverts back to "PC screen only" I cant roll back my monitor drivers either, please help

How do I use it so I can watch one sporting event on all monitors together as in one big picture

Retimers are penounced ree-time-ers, not ret-im-ers. They adjust the skew between the signals to meet the protocol requirements, and hence they re-time the link
