Review on Dell WD15 Dock 4K with 180W Adapter, USB-C, (Model: 450-AEUO, 7FJ4J, 4W2HW), Black, Dual Display by Phil Show

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Output stutters, flickers, intermittently unusable.

For: Dell WD15 (180W) If it works, it's a 5 star product. The problem is how seldom it works. In particular, the connection between HDMI often fails. I tried using different cables and connecting the monitor to other video sources. The issue only occurs when connected to a Dell docking station. Updated to the latest drivers on my XPS-13 9360 to no avail. It should be compatible, but it isn't. Reading an article, doing graphic design, or playing a video game, it doesn't matter. The display output flashes during the 12 second eclipse, sometimes every 5-10 seconds, most often every 4-8 minutes. Very annoying, sometimes makes the dock unusable and eventually shuts down my laptop so I don't have to start up with a constantly stuttering display.

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • Negative impression
