Default Does anyone have a SP3 and displaylink docking station that actually works?

All,

Is there any displaylink 3rd party docking station/port replicator solution that actually works with the surface pro 3? I am simply looking to set up dual external displays with maximum resolution. I cannot use the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 docking station due to the heavy-duty case I have on the SP3 (UAG) and looking for an alternative solution.

Can anyone please recommend a 3rd party docking station/port replicator solution and specific type of external monitor that will work with a surface pro 3 with UAG case?

I have looked at docking stations from Pluggable, Targus, Belkin, and others. Everyone seems to be having blank/black screen issues and required rebooting/system restores when trying to set it up in this manner. Has anyone gotten anything to work flawlessly?

Microsoft suggested that I remove my case every time I use the Microsoft docking station but that is not a viable solution as the whole point is to have portability and "pc replacement" functionality. I am probably not the only person trying to set up this type of configuration so figured someone might have an answer.

Thanks.

Hi,

From what I gather the blank screens were resolved by updating the graphics drivers to the latest from Intel.

The Belkin tablet dock looks like it could hold your SP3 with the UAG casing?

Thanks,
James

Hi,

I've heard that the latest Surface Pro update resolved the blank screen issue.

You can find it here:
