Almost immediate failure, poor support
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had the device for a month, I've had the following issues: -unlike my last docking station, when it goes to sleep, all the screens lose their location, meaning that all apps are on different screens when I wake the system, so every time I log in, I need to rearrange all my apps, and that's a pain in the neck with seven screens. -a week after installation, the ethernet port failed. By the time I got support from J5, the poor BestBuy TWO WEEK return policy expired, so I have no choice but to request a replacement from J5. J5 will replace, but I need to send the old one back FIRST. They won't cross-ship, even after I offered to let them charge my credit card until they get the defective one back, but they won't do that either. So in order to get a replacement, I'd need to do without my seven screens for an unknown extended period of time while I ship the old one back and wait for a new one to be shipped. Working from an 11" laptop screen in my job is not possible, so I'll need to find a replacement and put the J5 device on eBay. (Seven screens on a Windows 10 machine? Yes...one direct from laptop HDMI port, three from the dock, one wireless and two using USB video converters).

Posted .The driver installation is mainly for the VGA, Mic, and the stand alone HDMI port.
Confirm that the Ethernet cable is not damaged and properly connected to both the docking station and your router or modem.
Try a different Ethernet cable if possible.
Ensure that your Windows operating system is up to date by check the computer's brand manufacturer's website for any driver updates.
Verify that the Ethernet settings on your Windows 10 machine are correctly configured. Sometimes, issues can be resolved by resetting or reconfiguring network settings.
Experiencing issues with screen rearrangement when your Windows 10 system wakes from sleep can be frustrating, especially when using multiple monitors and a variety of connection methods. Here are some steps you can take to address this problem:
Ensure that you have the latest graphics drivers installed for your laptop's GPU. Manufacturers often release driver updates that can improve multiple monitor support and address issues like screen rearrangement after sleep.
Adjust your Windows Power Plan settings to ensure that your system isn't turning off or disconnecting displays when it goes to sleep. To do this, go to "Control Panel" > "Hardware and Sound" > "Power Options" and customize your power plan settings.
In the graphics card control panel (e.g., NVIDIA Control Panel or AMD Radeon Settings), check the power management settings. Make sure that the graphics card isn't set to power down during sleep.
If you have multiple monitors connected through various methods, Windows might struggle with managing configurations when a variety of display devices are connected. Check if there are firmware updates available for your monitors. Sometimes, monitor manufacturers release updates that can improve compatibility and behavior with Windows.
Ensure that your Windows operating system is up to date. Microsoft regularly releases updates that include bug fixes and improvements, which could address display-related issues.
You may also want to look into the "one wireless and two using USB video converters" brand devices for troubleshooting guidance on there end.

Space saving Docking Station
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great peace. Do not forget to buy with the power supply.

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for reviewing the j5create triple display docking station. It does not require the power supply to function, but it can power your laptop if you do use a power supply. If your laptop has a USB-C power supply, you can use that with the docking station.
Thank you,
j5create
The fix for computers with limited number of ports
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife's computer did not have enough ports, so I purchased this docking station. I solved the problem. Wife is happy now.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat but with 1 major flaw
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up, however the 1 HDMI port is giving me a lot of trouble with the connection. When connecting to HDMI, the screen flickers on and off, but also shortens (closes in) the width of the screen. I am going to try to get support to fix this, but may end of having to return this great little dock

Posted .If it's the HDMI under the word "OR", it's is a PnP. Computers must supports DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C. Please refer to the manufacturer of your hardware for more information on your device.
Works fine but could be defective
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Reasonable option for me to organise all the cables which otherwise used to plug into my laptop. Now i can extend screens to multiple monitors. The only drawback is that the piece i bought had the second hdmi port not working. My laptop failed to identufy monitor connected to the hdmi
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Hello, if the HDMI next to the DP port requires a feature called "DisplayPort Alt. Mode" supported by your computer for video output. If you require further assistance; please contact the j5create Technical Support team and we will be glad to further assist you. Kindly, j5create.

They have made better.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A little buggy, reqires a driver to be installed for functionality and then has USB conflict issues. Not as good as their other products.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .The USB-C Triple Display Docking Station requires DisplayPort Alt Mode and USB Power Delivery 2.0 or 3.0 features. A driver is also required for the VGA, Mic and stand alone HDMI port for functionality. Please contact our Technical Support Team, so that they can get more information from you. Their information can be found on our website under the "Support" tab. Thank you.

Doesn't work for all laptop/screen configurations
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This ultimately did not do what I wanted. My HP laptop struggled to communicate to my 2 Dell monitors through this docking station. I ultimately had to purchase an HP docking station, and everything worked great.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .We're sorry to hear the Dock did not meet your expectation. Computers must support DP Alt Mode for video out. (DP or HDMI). The VGA and HDMI ports required an installation of a driver. ** Feel free to contact j5create Technical Support if you require further assistance. Sincerely, j5.
3rd Display in "Triple Display" is VGA
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Form factor is perfect, and is great for for TWO monitors because apparently you can only use 2 of the 3 HDMI/DP ports on it. The "third" display has to be VGA. Who runs a triple monitor setup in 2023 where the third display is VGA? I really wish this product worked for me but the marketing was a bit misleading on this one. Otherwise the driver installer looks like it was made in 1993.

Posted .Available display combinations:
- HDMI + VGA + DisplayPort (Cannot use both PnP video ports at the same time)
- HDMI + VGA + HDMI
Are there ever enough connection points?
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a ton of accessories I plug in to my computer for my creative work, but my ZenBook 14 only had two USB outlets. This beauty did the trick and the cable is long enough that I can have it behind or to the side of my laptop.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great for any setup. A variety of outputs will ensure that you dont have to go break the bank on different cords or adapters.
I would recommend this to a friendEveryone should own one of these.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is lifesaver with ipad pro that only has 2 type c ports. Everyone should own one of these. Not overly expensive either which was a shock. I did have to call support when I first got it because there was an update from apple that required some changes to make this work. Support was awesome and knowledgable.

Posted .13 ports in one sleek design for all your needs. Thank you for your review, evvtech.
nice to keep everything organized
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.keeps my cords organized. Only suggestion would be that it also "sleeps" when the computer sleeps. Monitors stay on and so does the speaker since the docking station is considered always plugged on

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is costly. And then when you get it home you find out you need to purchase a charging adapter. The sales person should let customer know the need for charging adapter unstead oc customer finding out when they get 1-hour drive.
