Very easy! for computers and accessories

I have two of these. One at work and one at home. I love how quick and easy it is to set up. No lag that I've had with other brands. Definitely recommend.

Stopped working in less than 60 days

Thought I might try a 'used' item this time but had to follow my intuition. This expensive item stopped working in less than 60 days. Lesson learned.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Low repairability

Works well with various monitors

I've had the opportunity to use this with 3 different monitors (tried only 2 external + laptop at the same time) Mouse and other devices work as advertised Advice read instructions and download + Install the first recommended software before connecting the docking station.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Doesn't fit all

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great and comfortable

Great product I use it with my laptops, 2 monitors can easily be expanded, but I also use it with the Samsung DEX docking station (only one monitor is supported). I can only have one set of peripherals for all my devices. The only caveat is that you have to turn it off to turn it off, otherwise the mouse light will never go out.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Unusable features

Outstanding USB 3.0 docking station

Simply outstanding. I used this USB dock to connect my 7 year old Lenovo Ideapad Y400 as my HDMI and VGA ports no longer work. It just seemed really smaller. Coincidentally, I already had the Display Link installed on my laptop before I plugged it in for the first time, and the moment I plugged it in, it just worked like a charm. Price-performance ratio. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a USB based docking station to purchase this product.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • old

That works great! - Edited to NO LONGER WORKING

Original comment: I've bought one with USB-C before but it didn't work for me. I found this one and thought I'd give it a try. Works amazing! All 3 monitors in addition to my laptop monitor work at the same time! I have absolutely no regrets. It worked right away. plug and play i am a lucky girl Now I can work from home and play in peace haha. New update: Doesn't work properly anymore. You can no longer use a closed laptop. Slows heavily. Basically crashes now. Oh, and it doesn't read the…

Works straight away

Awesome! I've tried several different devices and have always been frustrated and then frustrated that I couldn't find a product that would project my laptop to dual monitors. Then I started contacting US computer companies and called Dell. I was offered VT200. I checked it out and then I saw other members of the VisionTek family on Visiontek.com. Spoke to Robert at tech support and bought this item from Revain at the best price. And by god, I couldn't believe my eyes when I turned on the…

  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Frequency

Turns out I have to pay $9.99 a month for a driver for this product?!

Update 4/5/20: I was able to figure out the confusing driver installation process. It never made sense and didn't seem set up to be user friendly. Also, it works as I had hoped. I researched this device specifically for use with my laptop model. Once the drivers are installed, I am asked to pay $9.99 per month for "Update Outdated or Missing Drivers". It's possible there isn't one, but it was advertised as 'plug and play' and I'm not interested in doing much research to get it working for me. I

Instead, my employer decided to send me on vacation. I put the VT1000 on my desk, left the monitors unplugged and basically forgot to buy it. Yesterday I took it out of storage (desk drawer) and tried to…
