    Monitor Force Multiplyer
    This is a wonderful little device that is sure to bring big smiles to those who will benefit from it's ability to take what you already have.... & give you more.The Sabrent Universal Docking Station is likely just what you need to breath new life into your online computing experience, as it is one of those things that you don't know how useful it is until you try it for yourself.The packing itself suggests that this is a high end product, & after unboxing it was obvious that Sabrent is "in it to win it" ... this device is not only well thought out it is well made....it has the look & feel of quality as the fit & finish is tight.Set up of this device is virtually plug & play, it only takes a few minutes & is totally user friendly.... hey if I can do it anyone can as I am no "techspert"The instructions are not the kind that is hard to read or understand.... they did it right, well illustrated & straight forward.My personal primary objective with this device was to enable me to use my 50 in TV as a computer display screen, as I have no need to display the same image on multiple monitors at this time, although I did enable the TV & 2 other monitors at the same time - 4 active displays in total with a Dell XPS 15 9560 laptop running Win 10 Pro OS, just to see how the docking station performs under a heavy load.Results - Although the Docking station was able to display on 4 monitors simultaneously [see pic] slowdown did occur ... it is interesting to note that the TV with the largest display hooked up with a high quality HDMI suffered less slowdown & color degradation than the smaller monitor hooked up with a VGA cable.Conclusion - the performance factor of the docking station will vary depending what kind of PC/Laptop you are using as well as how many & what type of monitors you are displaying on... all 4 monitors I used were different brands & of varying sizes, I think if the station were hooked up to 3 monitors of the same brand & size performance would be optimized.Bottom line...it is up to the user to tailor their set up to their needs the best they can with what they have to work with.The performance of the station while displaying on just the laptop & TV is well... astounding! seriously, the picture quality is amazing ... I was watching YouTube videos in full HD with no slowdown & it was really awesome.I REALLY like this device as they thought of just about everything, the connectivity options are wide & varied & well, IMO ...this is one of those "must have items" everyone with a computer should have.Yes, this is a real game changer :) as now PC gaming has just been taken to a new level for me..... I tested out some graphically intense games & was blown away! seriously I was playing Arma 3 & got blown away! lol yes I am loving this docking station as I have been dreaming of playing these games on the big screen for a long time.Conclusion - it's a no brainer, this product deserves five stars all day & night long, it just works & looks good doing it.Update - After using it for a few days after posting this review I discovered something I missed, because something that would make this docking station much better, is missing.... an on/off switch or button.It is not a "deal killer" by any means but it is an annoyance for me as when it is not in use I need to have it powered off because it causes screen static on one of my security camera monitors.Not a deal killer BUT ... it is enough to bring the Sabrent Docking Station down to a 4 star rating.

    Top reviews from the United States

    • Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2020
      I recently purchased a portable 15.6" external/second monitor (amazon.com/gp/product/B07RGPCQG1) to use with my laptop. This form factor is great for use both at home and on the road. This monitor is powered by USB C (at least 2.1A) and connects via either USB C or HDMI. Using the cables which come with it is great for on the road, but a mess at home.

      Enter the Sabrent docking station. If I was going to design a docking station to work with this portable external monitor, I could not have done a better job than Sabrent.

      First, the Sabrent has a deep groove in the front of the dock. The slim external monitor sits in there perfectly, and a great viewing angle.

      Second, the dock has two USB A ports whose sole purpose is to deliver 2.4A of power for charging. I connected one of the ports to the USB C power port on the monitor and yahoo! it powered right up.

      Third, the dock has a HDMI out to connect to the monitor. It also has DVI (with a VGA adaptor) if that's your thing.

      I purchased 1 foot USB C and HDMI cables to make the connections, which eliminate the rats nest of cables you get using 3 foot cables.

      What else? Two USB 2 and two USB 3 ports. Why USB 2? Because keyboards and mice sometimes don't play well with USB 3, so you have that flexibility. Also audio in/out and an Ethernet CAT5 jack, if that's your thing.

      Even better, it's 100% plug-n-play. No drivers required (although up-to-date video drivers are recommended).

      For me, this means inserting one USB 3.0 A plug into my laptop and I get an external monitor, external audio/microphone, and connection to my external 2TB drive. No rats nest of cables. No cable swapping. It all works seamlessly.

      OK, what would I change? I'd love an on/off switch on the dock so I could power it off when I'm not using it (because I don't use it every time). Absolutely not a showstopper, though. I can always just unplug it power supply from the back of the dock if I want to.

      Again, the two features that are a game changer for me are the groove in the front and the two USB A power-only ports at 2.4A each (which can also be used to quick-charge your mobile devices).

      Plus, it's Sabrent. I've been using their gear for years and never had an issue.

      You really can't go wrong with this dock, and the price simply can't be beat.

      I don't know what to say but I love this docking station.
      I use this so I could add extra screen real estate. I didn't want to get a desktop since I was always about portability. I never needed a powerhouse desktop, but I did need the extra screens. I use this for a 17" laptop and a 13" ultrabook. I really love having the extra usb ports for my ultrabook at times as well.
      I went with this docking station because of the dimensions. Sits comfortably underneath my monitor riser and monitors.

      UPDATE:

      I have been using this now for a few months now and I have to say, I'm still very happy to have purchased this. There is one drawback that I did not notice before and that is the headphone jack. Before I ran my audio off my monitor which is connected to the dock through the HDMI port. I plugged in my speakers into the dock instead of my monitor and started noticing a ticking/clicking/static-like noise. I chalked it up to old speakers. When I plugged my headphones into the docking station, the noise became apparent and annoying. Even with my computer muted I could hear the ticking. I switched my headphone to different devices and it goes away. I assume it's coming from the docking station because the noise is gone when plugged into other devices that are plugged into my computer; such as my monitor and laptop. This annoyance is not a deal breaker to me. It is an annoyance that I avoid. I say annoying because it's not loud but very annoying when there is silence. I don't see this as a high performing graphics adapter or high end audio so I'm not disappointed by a little noise running through this. Especially since I have an external hard drive , two monitors, one 2.0 in use, two 3.0 ports in use, one of which is connected to a usb hub.

      My two devices I use this for are both 3rd gen Intel processors. When plugged into my 3rd gen i5, my i5 is pushed to it's limits when I put my daily load. Operates fine, does not overheat, just that the processor is taking on the extra load of this dock.
      When used with my 3rd gen i7, the dock does not seem to phase my CPU. Yes the load is there but it does not normally go beyond 70-80% capacity, but that's easy to do without the docking station. I'm only stating that my average use ultra book runs without any problems, it just gets pushed harder than normal. My i7 on the other hand feels like it's just shrugging it off. Also, I've tested this many times and yes, you can definitely run three additional monitors; two off the docking station and one out the HDMI port on the computer(if you have one).

      Update - 1/15/2016

      I raised the review based on the outstanding customer service I've received. Sabrent called to see if they could help me set up the video, but my company has a strict policy about downloads. I set this up on my personal computer to see if it works - and it works great. I don't need this device on that computer, but I can report that it works well.

      ***********************************

      The device arrived quickly and is sleek looking. And if you're planning to use it for home or personal computer use, it may be perfect. I was not, and hence my review.

      I purchased this docking station to use with my work computer (Windows) while working at home - instead of the similarly priced Dell docking station - because of the product's high reviews. The product does not plug-and-play for video functionality with my work computer. I don't have admin rights to download updated drivers, so for me, it is essentially a very expensive USB port extender. I suspect it may be fine for personal computers, but I can't say for sure.

      As a second point (and I definitely should have realized this, so it hasn't affected my review, but) for clarity: this device does not provide power to the computer. So if you're thinking about an actual docking station - where you connect to the computer once, and then receive the benefit of mouse, keyboard, monitor and any other peripheries, as well as constant battery charge, this is not that device. With this device, you plug in the power as well as a USB for peripheries (and in my case, also plug in the video) in order to have a true docking station experience.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Steck ein Kabel an und fertig is!
      Reviewed in Germany on April 3, 2017
      Getestet habe ich dieses Dock mit einem Lenovo Thinkpad x240.

      Das Thinkpad hat zwar 2 USB Anschlüsse, miniDP, VGA und Ethernet, aber es ist mir doch etwas „stressig“ jedes Mal zu Hause alles erst an meinem Laptop anzuschließen, daher suchte ich nach einer 1 Kabel Lösung und bin auf dieses USB 3.0 Dock gestoßen.

      Also habe ich zuerst das mitgelieferte 48W Netzteil für das Dock in die Steckdose gesteckt und das andere Ende in das Dock. So hat es schon einmal seinen Strom (4 A bei 12V).
      Seinen Laptop oder Tablet verbindet man anschließend über ein USB 3.0 Typ A auf USB 3.0 Typ B Kabel (viel kennen es als Druckerkabel^^).
      Unter Windows 10 werden erst einmal alle Treiber automatisch installiert.
      Wenn dies nicht klappen sollte, kann man diese manuell runterladen.
      Den Link habe ich der Anleitung entnommen, dort ist dieser für Mac Nutzer aufgelistet, bietet aber auch Treiber für Windows, Linux und Android sogar.

      Als nächstes habe ich das ganze mal getestet und eine externe Festplatte an das Dock angeschlossen so wie einen TV über HDMI. Wurde alles prompt erkannt und die Festplatte zeigte das System sofort an. Als Test habe ich eine 4 GB Große Datei von der USB Festplatte zur Laptop SSD kopiert und hatte eine durchweg stabile Verbindung, selbst als ich einen Film auf den TV gestreamt habe über HDMI, waren keine großen Einbrüche in der Übertragungsgeschwindigkeit oder der Qualität des Videos spürbar. Eine verbundene Maus war…schrecklich, quasi nicht nutzbar, davon würde ich dringend abraten. Ethernet wurde auch direkt erkannt und sorgte für einen Ping von 8, statt über WLAN 24.
      Die Downloadraten sind circa 10% höher als über WLAN, wenn man direkt am Router steht.

      Anschlüsse:

      ein 12 V-Stromanschluss
      zwei USB 2.0-Ports
      zwei USB-Lade-Ports (bis 2,1A)
      Mikrofon- und Kopfhörer-Anschluss
      ein Ethernet Anschluss 10/100/1000 Gbit/s
      ein USB 3.0 Typ-B Port zum verbinden zum Laptop/Tablet
      zwei USB 3.0 Typ-A Ports
      ein HDMI-Anschluss
      ein DVI Dual Link Anschluss (mit Adapter auf VGA)

      Für mich funktioniert das Dock super, ich kann meine externe Festplatte, Backup HDD, Ethernet, Anlage und Display dort einstecken und in meinen Laptop nur Kabel einstecken.
      Man glaubt nicht was das für ein Luxus ist, bis man es hat. ;)

      Negatives am Dock ist nur die bereits erwähnte Verzögerung der Maus.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for extending dual display, even for older macs with USB 2
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 5, 2017
      I've been looking for a dual display dock that works on both mac and windows and came across this. I specifically wanted to extend my display (rather than mirror) which is what this does. I'm using a 2010 MacBook Pro running sierra, and a surface book.

      There were two things that concerned me prior to ordering. The driver website said there may be issues on macs running sierra. Also, my mac is old and only has USB 2.

      I took the plunge and ordered it as I knew it would at least work on the surface book and was a much better price than their dock. I downloaded the drivers on both machines prior to arrival which took moments to do. I plugged it all in and it immediately worked with no settings or faffing about needed. Same goes for both machines. I was worried that my 2010 MacBook Pro may be too old for it to work but it is perfect. There is no lag on either machine. I can choose to extend the desktop to two monitors or mirror to two monitors.

      All in all, brilliant device at half the cost of the Microsoft dock, with the addition of working on mac and windows.

      Honestly the best product to have! Works wonders and I’ve had no problems with this what so ever! Charging USB Ports, 3.0 USB Ports, 2.0 USB Ports and an HDMI Port as well as a DVI Port! You can hook up 2 more Monitors if you wanted too! Honestly best investment I’ve done this year

      5.0 out of 5 stars The complete package
      Reviewed in Germany on February 22, 2021
      Regarding USB docks, this one is my favorite. Impressive build quality, very nice design with all ports on the back (makes your workspace look neat and clean) and a place to conveniently hold your cellphone. I've experienced no sort of delay in commands (I have both my mouse and keyboard connected there), no loss of quality or any weird stuff in VGA and HDMI ports, and had no compatibility issues with any other peripherals linked there. One thing that it is important to beware of, and that caught me off guard I must admit, is that the charging ports can be used only for charging. I was hoping I could connect some other things there for the sake of comfort, but it is no big deal, 4 USB is still plenty. It still is a 5 star from me.
