Review on Surface Docking Station Display Ethernet by Jason Dahlkemper

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not as advertised, would not recommend. Cannot connect 3 monitors as advertised

I have a Surface Pro 5 with I5-7300U that is compatible with 3 displays/monitors. I bought this item to use with 3 displays but it doesn't recognize the 3rd monitor no matter what I do or what connection combination I try. I have an integrated surface display connected to HDMI via HDMI for a monitor and the display expansion option works. Then I bought a VGA to HDMI adapter for a third monitor and it doesn't recognize it. Then I bought a VGA to VGA cable for a third monitor but it still doesn't show up. It also sometimes stopped recognizing a monitor. Update: I bought an MST hub and it worked great. I currently only use three monitors, including the Surface Pro 5.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Long wait
