Hi,

I have the Dell 452-BCYT D6000 dock, I'm able to get two monitors to work but was wondering if it is possible to run 3, when I connect a 3rd then one of the others just drops off.

I have an M2 MacBook Pro
1 x Samsung U32J59x 4K connected HDMi>HDMi
2 x Acer Gf276 connected Display link>HDMi

Could anyone advise if this is possible at all and what I may be doing wrong if it should be possible.

Many Thanks

Hello, I would like to know which ports on the docking station you connect two monitors to?
And when you plug in a 3rd monitor, which monitor switches off to which port is it plugged in?

Hi, Thanks for your reply,

So the following configurations have these results

HDMI port plugged into Samsung 4k
DP port plugged into normal HD screen
Then - when another DP port is connected to another Acer screen the 4K disconnects.

Both DP ports connected to normal Acer screens
Then - When HDMI port to Samsung 4K, no change, it doesn't connect.

I've also tried closing MacBook lid and making one of the others the main screen.

Other ports connected are 3 USB's, one for a webcam, one an apple charging cable and one another small charging dock

Appreciate any advice,

Thanks
