Plugable's Excellent Support
I have been happy with the Display Docking Station that I purchased. Running three monitors at one time has been a huge time saver, and something a MAC desktop can't do without it.The technical support representative, Michael, has been outstanding, always professional, attentive, and clear. His expert advice consistently helped me resolve issues or questions with my Plugable device. Even over email, his guidance was prompt and effective. I highly recommend his support and consider him a valuable asset to his company.

Fixes the dumbest Mac OS limitation to let you run a second external monitor!
In the year 2024, I can't believe that Mac OS doesn't have native support for more than one connected display monitor. This solves that.In researching options, the Plugable DisplayLink dock seemed to be the best solution in my price point, though I'd read negative reviews warning about it not working, video lagging. or screen freezing. I'm running two 27" simple Dell monitors, 75Hz refresh rate and it's working great. I've also got my mouse, Anker PowerConf, and a bunch of other peripherals connected, and all work great together.One suggestion - the Quick Start instructions in the box reference downloading and installing the right DisplayLink driver and giving it permissions for screen sharing. They neglect to mention something super-important. The DisplayLink Manager is an application that you have to open/run for the magic to happen. It tricks the Macbook into recognizing the second monitor. I'd done all the other steps, missed that and thought I'd bought a lemon. However, once I hit the troubleshooting FAQs and took that simple step, everything worked perfectly.

Works right out of the box once driver is installed!
OK, so I was surprised that my M2 MacBook Air 2022 did not support two monitors. I need two monitors for work, etc (who doesn’t need two monitors?) Fortunately I found a solution with a quick search. I had used a Plugable dock in the past with a PC. I wasn’t sure which dock to buy so I sent a message to Plugable support on their website. I received a response in less than a day. They recommended a lower priced hub but I also wanted USB-A ports, so I went with this model. My configuration: from the MacBook Air, one USB-C port goes into an older Apple 27” monitor using a Thunderbolt2 converter to Thunderbolt3/USB-C, and the other USB-C is used by the Plugable. The other monitor uses HDMI plug on the doc. BTW the dock requires power but never gets warm, unlike other docks/hubs I have used. I also have a Plantronics headset (use Bluetooth dongle into USB-C port) and use a USB-A port for a Logitech C930 webcam. I downloaded the software, plugged everything in, and it all worked! I had to configure which screen was 1 versus 2, and you can even use the MacBook Air screen if you want more screen real estate (for M2 MacBook Air the max is two external monitors). It works great! Since it works as a screen share, if the screen times out, you have to enter in the system password again, but it’s not that big a deal. I also use a Logitech K780 keyboard and M720 mouse independently from the dock. Again, it all works great! I went with the M2 MacBook Air 13” for weight with power, and now I have everything I want/need!

Plugable products and support always reliable
Purchased the UD-6950H to be able to quickly swap my monitors between a desktop and a laptop.Initially had trouble, not because of the dock, but windows.Had an issue with a headless display.Plugable support hung with me getting thru the issue and got is solved with a small bypass plug for the desktop.I had never heard of this issue before, but they tracked it down quickly

Solid solution for Macs & excellent tech support
I've been using this docking station since April 2022. I bought it to be compatible with my newer M1 work MacBook Air *and* my older personal one (I just use a USB adapter to move the input cable from one machine to the next as needed, no fancy KVM switching for me), and it's worked like a charm. I run two external monitors through HDMI connections, run audio through it (old Bose speakers+sub), and use the USB ports on the device for a corded keyboard, webcam, and phone charger. I keep it bundled up in a cable net under my desk for cord management and stand my laptops up behind my monitors to clear desk space. I never need to touch the thing, so it's nice to be able to tuck it out of the way.I've never had any problem with it until a recent cable management quest. I simply unplugged it, and the monitors wouldn't work anymore through it, though the USB ports still worked and the monitors worked on their own. It was one of those cursed tech mysteries that happens to the best of us, a major bummer, and in a normal scenario might result in me docking a few stars for planned obsolescence... BUT! Plugable's tech support team was so responsive in helping me troubleshoot and quickly determined this wasn't expected behavior and proactively invoked the warranty (which I didn't even know I had, tbh) to send me a brand new pre-tested one. I plugged it in, and everything works great again.So, maybe the product isn't perfect, but the customer support was next level and I'm back in action, and those guys deserved a shoutout. Very few products are perfect, but this brand is doing "making it right" right. I'd recommend it for anyone with big desk productivity dreams on a smaller desk and smaller budget.
