Posted .If your USB-C port doesn’t support DP Alt Mode, then multiple video outputs via the dock won’t function properly.
The dock requires one of the specified combinations (HDMI + VGA + DP or HDMI + VGA + HDMI), using the two HDMI ports and DisplayPort simultaneously is not be supported.
The VGA+HDMI (not the HDMI under the "OR") requires an installation of a driver. Drivers are located on j5create website under the "Support" tab.
If the dock is bus-powered (not using external power), or the laptop is not supplying enough bandwidth, some ports may not initialize properly for multiple displays. Use an external power adapter for the dock (if not already) and ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected.

Great affordable docking station!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have 5 of these! I have one in my home office as well as one in my work office, one in my wife's work office, and for two of my employees who use laptops. They work great! Two things to be aware of. First, get a USB-C charger if you don't have one already. Plugging that into the USB-C port on the back will allow the USB-C cord coming out of the dock to provide power to your laptop. Second, if you have times when one or more of your screens stops working that's connected to the dock, unplug the cord from your laptop, then unplug the USB-C power cord from the back, then plug them back in. Typically corrects the issue. That's something that happens to me once or twice a week, but isn't a big deal to resolve.

Posted .Hello, thank you for your feedback. We will pass it on to our R&D team. The power-in port (USB-C) can pass-through charge with your power-brick 65W or higher with a USB-C connection or the JUP2290 will work also. Thank you and enjoy your new Docking Station. Cheers.

Works well, slightly confusing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product works well. I haven't had a problem with any of the ports not working. It stays firmly plugged in. It's a little clunky to work with. I worry about breaking it when I open it to get out the cord. I'm not sure how to position my device in/against it while I use it.

Sleek but Jam Packed with Extras!

Highly recommended
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dock was a game changer for me and organizing my desk. My lap top is nice but only has two ports so I was constantly fighting with plugging and unplugging devises or using a smaller dock that only allowed me to plug in one or two extra devices. With dock I have all my screens plugging in plus my phone, sd cards, and other usb cording equipment that i use for my work.

A good product with every port you need
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is great for those who have a MacBook and need the extra ports. It has just about every port you might need and they all function great.

Better than expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its advertised for Apple but worked on my self built pc rig and I mean every single port worked without problem. Highly recommend. Not to mention for the price you get more functionality then similar products of the same type for same or less money.

Works great with my Lenovo Yoga
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great with my Lenovo Yoga. Just one cable does it all! Ive got mine hooked up to a 40" hdmi tv, wirless keyboard and mouse, and a hardwired lan cord. You use your laptops usb-C power suppy to power it but the Laptop will charge thru the dock with no problems.

Very good dock, VGA output is not crisp.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works really well with my Lenovo workstation. Only complaint is that the VGA output seems somewhat fuzzy. I've used a display port to VGA adapter dongle and it results in a sharper image. It's also sharper when I use HDMI.

Not what I expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to buy this specific model as it's the only one with dual HDMI connections. Unfortunately 1 of the connectors displays in a different resolution it seems. Attempted to troubleshoot with Geek Squad and now working with the vendor directly. The dock itself is functional but certain text and colors are blurry from 1 port. At this time no one seems to know the reason or is able to fix. This also does not have an external power supply which I think may also limit its output capabilities

Posted .The JCD543P comes with a power adapter. The JUP2290 will be the power adapter that goes with the JCD543 device or you may use your own USB-C power-brick to the USB-C power-in port on the Docking Station. An available USB-C port must supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and USB Power Delivery 2.0 or 3.0. Please refer to the manufacturer of your hardware for more information on your device. 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. ** 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.

A MUCH NEEDED ADDITION
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was my first experience and truly I had no idea what I needed to purchase for the home set up to connect my work laptop. Thanks goodness for the multiple people that were helping me that night. This one was on sale, but was the best they had in stock for what I needed. I needed to make a double monitor workstation for my laptop. I got feedback from my IT work staff where we have ALL Dell products. I took my work computer into the store and the staff helped set me up with everything. With that being said, it is consistently locking up throughout my workday. I am still giving this 5 stars because it was a lifesaver and I believe it’s more of my internet provider causing the issues than this item. I have HDMI running for both monitors. I did not require a power source, so if you need that capability, this item will not work for you. Happy Shopping!
