Review on Dell 452 BCYT: Ultimate Universal Adjustable Response IPS Monitor by Dave Dor

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The first week was problematic, but things got better

UPDATE 11/03/2018: It's been a few weeks with the dock and I haven't had any problems. I turn on the laptop, my two 4K monitors work fine along with the peripherals. =============================================== === ================== I have been involved with technology for ten years and my first week with this docking station was disappointing. My rig is Alienware 17 R3, Win10 64-bit, 1TB NVMe M.2 2280 SSD for boot and apps, 1TB SSD for storage, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 970M GPU and i7 6700HQ processor. The purpose of purchasing this particular dock was horizontal design, USB-C connectivity, and 3-port 4K connectivity. I'm only using 2 ports (HDMI and Displayport) and my setup keeps going from 4K to 2048x1152 or 1920x1080. I thought it was a simple driver issue so I removed the Displaylink driver I already had. my previous dock and updated it to the latest version. Still haven't solved the problem. So I tried different settings. One worked great for me using the USB-C portion instead of a USB 3.0 adapter along with a Displayport to HDMI cable and an HDMI to HDMI cable, both of which support 4K resolution. I had no problems for the second week and I will update. BENEFITS + Small, horizontal design + Affordable (cheaper than typical $200 USB-C docks) + Optional USB 3.0 or USB-C connectivity + 4 USB 3.0 ports, 2 DisplayPort and 1 HDMICONS - counterintuitive design between dock and computer - USB non-removable cable C. - problematic setup
