Review on Lenovo ThinkPad USA Ultra Dock with 90W AC Adapter (40A20090US) - Retail Packaged: Efficient Connectivity Solution for Enhanced Performance by Ryan Mosqueda

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Supports 2 x 24 inch 4K monitors + laptop screen

I actually bought this to support an extra (3rd) monitor. I have a T440p with Intel HD Graphics 4600 and I have seen that this dock can support 2 external 4k monitors in addition to the laptop screen. It was a bit tricky to set up as the display settings under Panel Control (Win10) doesn't recognize the 3rd monitor. I had to go into the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel on the Multiple Displays page to enable the 3rd. After that I was able to access all 3 monitors via the control panel. A few posts online about not being able to use both displayports at the same time, so I'm using a displayport connection and an HDMI connection (never tested with both displayports so can't say for sure). The displays are a bit slower, but it's only a laptop and it uses a heck of a lot of pixels. The refresh rate is only 29pHz on 4k monitors, which might not be enough for gaming, but good enough for office work.

Pros
  • Comes with ThinkPad US AC adapter (90W) Does not support ThinkPad T460p quad-core models with discrete graphics. Use ThinkPad Ultra Dock 170W.
Cons
  • makes me angry
