fo
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Piece of crap. LEADS YOU TO BELIEVE YOU CAN HOOK UP THREE HDMI CABLES BUT ONLY TWO IN REALITY
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Hello there, the JCD543 is considered a PnP and driver base device but requires a feature called "DisplayPort Alt. Mode and "Power Delivery" embedded to the computer to support PnP devices since the HDMI or DP including the Type-C ports are PnP. Please verify with your computer Manufacture or gives us a call and we'll see what devices are compatible to your computer. Cordially, j5create.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Laly, in the case where the JCD543's HDMI monitor is glitching, it is potentially a bad HDMI cable or too long of a cable. Either way, we would appreciate the opportunity to diagnose, troubleshoot and offer a working solution. Our contact information is available on the website and packaging in order to speak with a rep.

No Power cord - cheap skates
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doesn't come with power cord. What's the point of this thing!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .The JCD543P comes with a power adapter, the JCD543 does not. The dock is powered by a computer via USB-C. The power adapter provides additional power to the USB ports and pass-through charge to a computer. You can use your own USB-C power-brick (65W or higher) if that connection came with your computer or the JUP2290 is the adapter that goes with the JCD543. Please make sure your computer supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and Power Delivery over USB-C. Feel free to contact j5create Technical Support if you require further assistance. Their information can be found on our website under the "Support" tab. Thank you.

Just a usb ports
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Usb c to display driver never works for mac or windows.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Proper functionality entails downloading and installing a driver on a Windows or Mac platform. Depending on the OS you have, different instructions apply. The HDMI or DP video ports including the USB-C power-in port are Plug n Play and requires a computer to support "DP Alt Mode" and "PD" over USB. Please refer to the manufacturer of your hardware for more information on your device. ** Feel free to contact j5create Technical Support if you require further assistance.

Not great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ended up returning the docking station. Was hoping this would replace my older USB docking station, but it worked on my new laptop, but on my work laptop, only 1 year old, it would not work. My older docking station had no problems.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .The USB-C Triple Display Docking Station requires an available USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and USB Power Delivery 2.0 or 3.0. It will also require an installation of a driver for the VGA, Mic and stand alone HDMI port. It's possible the work computer may not support DP Alt Mode and USB PD 2.0 or 3.0, where as your new computer does. Please refer to the manufacturer of your hardware for more information on your device. Thank you.
