Some people are so negative. If the video was beneath them, then just move on. I just started working from home and this video told me exactly how to hook up two monitors to my tower. THANK YOU!

Thank you. Can't please everyone I guess. Expectations and knowledge is different as well so no bad feelings. Glad could help. Best of luck.

@@Edsdrafts hi Ed What if I wanted to use an extra laptop? Could I still use this same docking station and hopefully just press a button to alternate between the two?

I know you did this video a few years ago. I just was sent 2 monitors and a docking station (Dell) and had no clue how to set it up. You simplified the procedure and very methodically showed me how to set this up. I am so grateful, thank you so much for making this tutorial.

Hi Nicole. You are most welcome. Yes, I did not cover it as unfortunately I don't use it myself but yes - ideally do use the cable connection for best quality. This is especially important and helpful for video and voice calls or any other real time interaction eg. Citrix, GoToMyPC etc.

Hi. Definitely use DP to HDMI for one and just HDMI for another. HDMI splitters are usually just duplicating the signal.

Thank you so much for this! I was able to set up the equipment and everything was fine for a about a month then suddenly I lost my dual monitor connection.

The docking station is not turning when I connect, not even manually, but I can still my phone from the C port.

@Edsdrafts 2 жыл бұрын

Hi. Saw this issue on few laptops before, it can be simply damaged USB Type C port on the laptop. This unfortunately happens as this type of port is just not robust enough for daily use. You can log an RMA ticket with laptop manufacturer if you still have warranty for it. Provided there is no visible damage they should fix it.
