Usage Recommendations

To achieve dual 4K@60Hz output, verify that your laptop’s Thunderbolt ports support dual 4K output and that monitor settings and graphics drivers are up to date. For best results use high-quality Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 cables, and avoid connecting the HDMI port first as that can limit available bandwidth and lower overall resolution. Be aware that when many high-bandwidth devices are connected the Thunderbolt bandwidth is shared, which may reduce display resolution and LAN speed. The dock may reach about 122°F/50°C under heavy load, which the manufacturer notes is normal. Compatible systems include Windows 10 or later laptops with Thunderbolt 4 and non-M1/M2 MacBooks running macOS 11 or later.
