Getting a new HP G6 laptop from work, but I require a docking station with it - catch is, I run dual screen, 1x 4k 1x 1080. We did order some docks that looking at the PBTech blurb, would work, but now I have one in my hand and read the instructions, no, it wont work (has dual HDMI, but only for 2x 1080 OR 1x 4k).

Can anyone recommend a dock that will do 1x 4k and 1x 1080 ? Laptop has USB C on it (full spec).

XPD / Gavin

You'll need a thunderbolt dock to output more than a single 4K or 2x1080. Most of the USB-C docks don't have the bandwidth to output more.

As above, I'm using one of these with a 840 G6. I'm only outputting 2 monitors at 2560x1440, but it does support multiple 4K outputs, so should suit your needs.

In the description of each one it tells you thert quantity of monitors,which ports, and max res that each can handle
