NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MY COMPPUTER
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I RETURNED IT BECAUSE THE GEEK SQUAD COULD NOT GET IT TO FUNCTION WITH MAC MINI

Posted .The JCD543 uses MCT/USB graphics drivers for extended display output beyond 1 external monitor. macOS natively supports only 1 external display over USB-C unless you install MCT drivers. You would also need to grant permissions under System Settings. If these steps weren't completed, the Dock will not function correctly.
Not worth it.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything works great except for Display Port and secondary HDMI. Only able to run 1 display off this, no matter the resolution, PC and Mac tested. Not worth it. Just buy the OWC or Belkin docks if your main requirement is multiple displays. Even the new Lenovo is leaps and bounds over this one.

Posted .Hello,
It sounds like you may be encountering an issue with drivers or maybe your USB-C port does not support display port alternate mode. I’d recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for the docking station. If you need any assistance our customer support team is available to help. You can find our contact information printed on the product package and on the j5create website.
Have a good day,

- Cons mentioned:Power supply
Not so good
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not so good, it should come with a power supply because you absolutely need one connected to use it.

Posted .Hi Andy, We apologize for the misinformation in regards to the JCD543 requiring a power source. The JCD543 is bus-powered and once connected to the computer, it is able to function as intended; the power adapter is for charging your computer, if it supports pass through charging via USB-C; if the computer does not support charging via USB-C, it will not charge. Although the adapter is not necessary, it is recommended for ultimately providing more power to the dock as a whole. If you experience any issues or have any questions regarding your dock, please reach out to support and a rep will be more than happy to assist.
Respectfully,

Junk

Posted .The JCD543P comes with a power adapter, unlike the JCD543. The JUP2290 is the power adapter for the JCD543 device. The Dock Station gets it's power when the host connection is connected to your computer. However, computers must support DP Alt Mode and PD over USB-C. The power adapter provides additional power to the USB ports and pass-through charge to a computer. ** Feel free to contact j5create Technical Support if you require further assistance. Thank you.
