Posted .The stand alone HDMI requires an installation of a driver. The other HDMI port that is linked with DP is a PnP port, which requires a computer to support DisplayPort Alt Mode for video out over USB-C. Please make sure your computer is up to date.

Posted .The HDMI or DP port requires DisplayPort Alt Mode from an available USB-C computer and cannot be used at the same time, it's one or the other.

Posted .Hello,
We are currently working on the drivers that will make the JCD543 compatible with MacOS Big Sur. There will be an announcement on the j5create website once the drivers are released. Until then only 3 ports will not function on the JCD543 without the drivers; the audio jack, the VGA port, and the HDMI port directly next to the VGA port. We appreciate your patience with us.
Thank you,

died quickly
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.died very quickly. I liked it when it was working but not reliable
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .I'm sorry to hear that your USB-C Triple Display Docking Station stopped working quickly and has proven to be unreliable. It's unfortunate when devices fail to meet expectations. When encountering issues with docking stations, it's important to consider the following steps: Confirm that the docking station is connected to a reliable power source and that all connections are secure. Faulty power sources or loose connections can lead to intermittent or complete failure. Ensure that the docking station is compatible with your specific device, including its operating system and hardware specifications. Additionally, check for any available driver or firmware updates for your device, as updates can sometimes resolve issues and improve compatibility. Docking stations can generate heat, especially when supporting multiple displays and peripherals. Ensure that the docking station is well-ventilated and not placed in an area where it could overheat. Excessive heat can cause performance issues or even device failure. If the docking station continues to exhibit problems and is within its warranty period, please contact ouj5create Technical Support Team. They may be able to provide further assistance or a replacement if necessary. Their information can be found on our website under the "Support" tab and a specialist will be ready to assist you. Thank you.
Quit working
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the HDMI ports has quit working already. I haven’t even had it a year. So disappointed.

Posted .Please check for any updates that you may have for your computer. Being behind on updates could cause the j5 device to not function as intended and in order to rule everything out we recommend contacting the Manufacture (of your computer) Support in order to have them assist you in properly updating your computer. The HDMI under the word "OR" is a PnP port and requires a computer to be updated on all available updates needed. The stand alone HDMI requires a driver. You can try uninstalling and reinstallation the driver or test with another HDMI cable if possible. ** If you require further assistance; please contact the j5create Technical Support team and they will be glad to further assist if necessary. Their information can be found on our website under the "Support" tab. Thank you.
