Sleek Design - Beware
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device has a slim profile, a single USB-C connection, and ample ports to support all devices, including audio. If that were the only thing I desired, it would be a 5-star rating. That said, after a few weeks, I began noting issues. Monitor-1 would flicker, going blank and returning. The problem escalated to the screen glitching and becoming off-set. I switched monitors, and the problem transferred to Monitor 2 point to a defective docking station. Despite receiving a replacement device, things did not fair well either. The new one failed even more impressively, with the same issue occurring within a week. I was very disappointed as this docking station should work seamlessly, especially at this price point. I replaced it with another one that cost $30 and has had no issues since. In this case, I believe more is less. I would NOT recommend this device.

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. Please refer to the manufacturer of your hardware for more information on your device. The Dock will also require proper installation of a driver 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 and a specialist will be ready to assist you. Thank you.

Easy To Set Up
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a super easy and quick set up. I have 3 monitors for working at home and it worked with both Dell, HP & IBM computers
I would recommend this to a friend Nice idea, but had a keyboard problem.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The idea of this thing is good, plug all your stuff into it, and only have to plug 1 USB C cord into the laptop. When you want to travel, you just unplug the one cord and go. However on our unit, the usb keyboard (Apple brand) would stop working while the unit was asleep. We could not wake the computer up via the keyboard occasionally. And after the computer was awake, the keyboard still didn’t work. We would have to unplug the keyboard for a few seconds and then it was fine again. We returned the unit. The build quality was. I’ve, but it didn’t work out for us.

Posted .Hello,
We appreciate your feedback regarding the docking station. After doing some research I have found that this is something that is known to happen with MacBooks. Apple has some specific troubleshooting tips for this issue. Thank you for sharing your review.
Have a good day,

Nice to have
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works but confusing about the “power USB-C” as to if you need to have a power adapter for this or if it powers something else. Also noticed you can’t have multiple external hard drives plugged into this.

Posted .The dock can connect to a USB-C port that doesn’t support Power Delivery but it will not pass power through the connected device
We advise no more than 1 bus-powered/portable external hard disk drive to be connected to the USB ports.

Good if you have the patience to out with support.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My low review is basically due to the functionality. I could just get the full functionality for using 2 monitors after spending quite some time with their tech support. The 3rd display is only possible if connected via VGA, not HDMI and this is not clear in the box/advertisement. In the question if I would recommend it to a friend, I clicked on "No" as most of my friends would not know how to set it up even with the help of their techs.

Posted .Eros60, I'm terribly sorry to hear about the negative experience you had with the JCD543. In cases where the VGA or HDMI monitor does not output a display for you, we recommend contacting the technical support team printed on the casing and a specialist will be happy to help. I understand your first experience with our support team was not a great one and if possible, we would value the opportunity to try again and see if we can make a better impression. Thank you and we sincerely apologize again for the troubles.
Respectfully,

Great Dock, just wish you didn't need drivers

Posted .Hello,
For all the features that the JCD543 has, the drivers are a necessary evil. There are some features that do not require the drivers, but to get the full capabilities of the dock the drivers need to be installed. Thank you for your feedback.
Have a good day,

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the most inconvenient $102+ that I’ve ever spent to use multiple devices b/c oops; laptops don’t come with ports anymore. Tech is obnoxious.
