Working solution
Hi,
I purchased this one off Amazon:
Targus USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Dual Video Docking Station with Power (ACP71USZ)
I can run 2 external monitors (1 HDMI, 1 DVI) at 1920x1200 while still using the display on my Lenovo Yoga laptop (1600x900). I can simultaneously run 3 HD videos in VLC on this setup. I don't game, so I cannot comment on whether that will work. My laptop runs Windows 8 and the installation was problem free. The external audio and network connection worked fine.
There is a Targus model without power that is a little cheaper (ACP70USZ) that I would guess would work also. Sadly, Targus does not yet have a power tip for the Lenovo Yoga.
I originally purchased an HP 3005pr hub, but couldn't get it to work. It uses the same displaylink chip but I suspect it had hardware problems.
I attached a picture showing my initial setup working!
