MOKiN DisplayLink Docking Station for Triple Monitors
The MOKiN DisplayLink 3 Monitors Dock is an excellent overall pick to form a 4K triple-display setup. Its properly positioned ports ensure seamless connectivity, catering to both MacBooks and Windows laptops. It packs two DisplayLink and one HDMI. Plus, it has quite a variety of essential ports to fulfill your daily requirements, including USB C 3.1, USB A 3.1, USB A 3.0, USB 2.0, Ethernet, Micro SD & SD card slots, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Strong Compatibility
The MOKiN DisplayLink 3 Monitors Docking Station is designed with exceptional compatibility in mind, specifically tailored to seamlessly integrate with MacBooks powered by the cutting-edge M1 and M2 chips. It can work with both MacBook and Windows systems. And it provides a smooth and efficient user experience, allowing users of these advanced MacBook models to take fully advantage of the dock’s capabilities and increase productivity.
Power Source
Having a 120W DC power adapter for The MOKiN DisplayLink Dock is crucial. With three monitors and other peripherals drawing power from the dock, a 120W adapter provides sufficient power to drive all devices.
A higher wattage adapter ensures stable power delivery, which is essential for maintaining the performance of the dock and attached devices. Insufficient power may lead to connectivity problems.
The 120W DC power adapter not only powers the dock but also provides ample power for charging laptops, tablets, or smartphones. It is essential for users who rely on their devices throughout the day.
Multiple Ports
The most recent iteration of the USB standard for electrical devices is USB 3.1. 10Gbps data transfer is provided by the front-facing USB A 3.1 and USB C 3.1 connectors of the dock, which are backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. USB 3.0 supports data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps. And the dock obtains a USB 2.0 port, which tops out at around 480MB/s. The USB A 2.0 is not particularly beneficial for transferring a large number of files; it is more suitable for connecting peripherals such as a keyboard or mouse.
Performance and consistency in network communication are prioritized thanks to Ethernet ports, which offer a quick, dependable, and low-latency network connection.
Micro SD and SD card readers offer a simple way of data transmission. These slots allow users to easily expand storage capacity or transfer files between devices without additional adapters. Users can quickly access or store data such as photos, videos, and documents. This feature is particularly useful for individuals who frequently need to move data between devices, such as cameras, smartphones, laptops, and other gadgets.
The 3.5mm audio jack remains a valuable audio connection option due to its universal compatibility with various audio devices, including headphones, speakers, microphones, and various audio accessories.
Multi-display Setup
For video, you can choose between HDMI and DisplayPort connectors, depending on your monitor's input port. The all-in-one docking station favors dual DisplayLink, and a single HDMI video port. The HDMI and DisplayPort outputs are paired up, so you get a total of three displays at 4K resolution, but you can freely choose what cable to use for each of them. The dock offers you a great deal of freedom, and it can be connected to any monitor or TV that you own, which improves your work productivity.
The docking station allows you to create a high-resolution and versatile multi-monitor setup. Using MOKiN DisplayLink Docking Station with three Monitors, you can extend 3 displays with resolutions up to 4K@60Hz, if your device supports DP1.4 protocol.
Users can run multiple applications side by side, view multiple documents simultaneously, or compare content across different screens without constantly switching between tabs or windows, enhancing workflow efficiency. The triple display setup is particularly beneficial for professionals who work with graphic design, video editing, programming, or any task that requires a large amount of screen real estate. The triple display setup allows for better organization of tasks and a more immersive computing experience.
