Great docking station for various model laptops
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great docking station. Would be awesome with another HDMI connection but it had enough for my dual monitors just fine. Makes launching my laptop with all my monitors and plugins very easy.

Very good docking station.

90% Workable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall it works well, and much better than my first docking station. It did have some trouble with one laptop with the wired Ethernet. If that laptop wasn't connected to the docking station and using wifi, it would have trouble connecting with the wired Ethernet when it was on the docking station, or would suddenly drop the Ethernet connection and I would have to restart the laptop to get it to even connect with the wifi again. Otherwise it's been working well, especially since im not using Ethernet anymore since we moved.

Issues at first
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally bought this docking station and downloaded the drivers off the j5create website but it wasn't working. I thought it was defective since only one of the display ports were working so i exchanged it but I was still having the same issue. I had to reach out to j5's customer service for help, they directed me to another driver that I would need in order to make the docking station work. Once I got past this hiccup, the docking station works beautifully I am really happy with my purchase. Anyone who is working from a home office and needs to power 2 monitors or even 3 I would recommend this. (Side note; I am using a MacBook Pro 2019 running Catalina with this docking station)

Cool Idea. Just Not What I Needed.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this along with my new HP laptop. I was looking for a docking station with USB-C/Thunderbolt charging capability. This wasn't it. I returned it to Best Buy. They have another version of this item that includes the charging capability. That's what I should have purchased at the time. Upon further review, I found that the powered version of this item doesn't provide enough juice to charge my new laptop in a timely manner. That said, this item does exactly what it purports to do. You'll have a hard time finding another USB-C adapter with this capability at this price.

Posted .We are sorry to hear about the experience you had with the JCD543; when it comes to the pass through charging, there are two different models of the JCD543 where one includes a power supply and the other does not; regardless of which one is obtained, the power supply is not necessary as the device is bus-powered by the computer when connected. If your laptop requires more than 100 watts to charge, we recommend contacting the support team on the packaging in order to find you a solution and resolve this matter for you.
Respectfully,

Works for two screens.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed to connect 3 screens and this did not work for me. It worked for two screens and would recommend for that usage.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Available display combinations: HDMI + VGA + DisplayPort or HDMI + VGA + HDMI.
Host device must have an available USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode (video out) for the DP or HDMI port to function correctly.
Driver installation is required for the VGA and stand alone HDMI ports. Driver are available on j5create website under the "Support" page.

Good Device
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The design for this was great. I loved the amount of port options you have, the idea of how the USB-C connector is made unnoticeable but the it's unfortunate this doesn't support all monitors or laptops, something to do with the drivers I think. I had issues using this with a display port, no matter what I did or what device I used - my monitor will always flicker, making it unusable. With HDMI though, it worked perfectly. I like the height to it as well, making it serve as a mini laptop stand and help ventilate your laptop. Overall, it's a good buy although I returned mine as it didn't serve the purpose I got it for.

Perfect Docking station for our hybrid staff
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this docking station is great for our remote team. We ordered one to test and now I'm ready to purchase more. it is so easy and reliable. We have our remote team equipped with laptops. At home and at the office they have two monitors/keyboard mouse combos. The laptop rests perfectly on top of the docking station, saving desk space. It has several ports and perfect for the two monitors. It is a great docking station. I recommended. (as an IT pro)

Ready to take it back
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to hook up two HP monitors to my my laptop. The good: I like the look and the size of it. It fits well under the laptop and has all of the ports I need. Pricing is good, but you get what you pay for. The bad: I took it out of the box, updated all of the drivers on my laptop and then plugged it in. Mostly plug and play, but my laptop doesn't support the second HDMI port so I had to use the VGA port. I think that is where the problems come from. This thing freezes up every 5-10 minutes. I work on proposals and do a lot of copying and pasting, comparing versions, working in excel and word at the same time, etc. It seems like I have to much going on for the dock to handle. When I copy it freezes. I unplug it, plug it back in, paste, and click save and it freezes again. I will take it back this weekend and look for something else. I just have to finish the week with this issue as I need all screens to operate. Very dissapointed.
