Best Docking Station Recommendations:
Top Choice: Thunderbolt 4 Dock
For your setup, I recommend a Thunderbolt 4 dock connected to your laptop's Thunderbolt 4 port. This gives you:
✅ Single cable to laptop (provides video, data, AND charges your laptop)
✅ Supports dual 4K monitors or dual 1440p/1080p monitors
✅ Multiple USB ports for peripherals
✅ Up to 96W laptop charging
Specific Recommendations:
CalDigit TS4 (~$400)
18 ports total
Dual monitor support (DisplayPort + Thunderbolt/USB-C)
98W charging
Premium build quality
Best overall option
Anker 777 Thunderbolt 4 Dock (~$300)
12 ports
Dual 4K@60Hz monitor support
90W charging
Great value for money
Kensington SD5780T (~$350)
11 ports
Dual 4K display support
90W charging
Good balance of features and price
Plugable TBT4-UDZ (~$280)
Budget-friendly Thunderbolt 4 option
Dual monitor support
96W charging
Setup with Thunderbolt 4 Dock:
One cable from dock to laptop (Thunderbolt 4 port)
Connect both 27" monitors to the dock (via HDMI/DisplayPort)
Connect speakers via dock's audio out or USB
Wireless keyboard/mouse dongles plug into dock's USB ports
Alternative: Use Built-in Ports
Since your laptop already has good ports, you could skip the dock:
Monitor 1: HDMI 2.1 port (built-in)
Monitor 2: USB-C port with DisplayPort
This requires 3 cables to laptop (HDMI + USB-C + power)
A:AnswerThe yellow-green tint you're describing, especially when compared directly to a store model, does sound like it could be a hardware defect - possibly related to the display panel itself or the backlight.
Here are a few things worth checking:
Color profile: Make sure Windows/macOS hasn't applied an unusual color profile (Display Settings > Color Management on Windows, or System Preferences > Displays > Color on Mac)
Night Light/Night Shift: Ensure these features are fully disabled
Graphics driver: Try updating or rolling back your graphics drivers
If you've already ruled these out and the screen is noticeably different from the store display under identical settings, that strongly suggests a panel defect. This could be:
Defective backlight LEDs with incorrect color temperature
Panel quality control issue (some manufacturers use panels from different suppliers)
Calibration problem from the factory
