Need Dock Recommendation

[gloriouslobster]

I'd go with StarTech: https://smile.amazon.com/StarTech-co.../dp/B00OD37KHG

I have the dual display StarTech adapter but only use one monitor on it, so it's overkill. I imagine the single display StarTech adapter will work just as fine.

I just ordered a Caldigit TS3+ as well to replace my buggy Elgato dock. I'm using it with an M1 MacBook Air.

For just this purpose I have purchased the

Kensingtion SD4780P USB-C Dual 4K Docking Station

This is one of the few docking stations that support 10GBit. I have not found a docking station that supports Thunderbolt and DisplayLink.

One 4K monitor runs directly through a port on the MacBook, and the second 4K monitor runs through the docking station.

The MacBook charges without any problems, also the clamshell mode works fine (via. Mac hibernation, after a power-off the laptop has to be opened to restart).

The only drawback is that not all resolutions are supported via Displaylink, in particular I miss "looks like 2560x1440".

Happy to report that the StarTech adapter you pointed me to works beautifully with the CalDigit TS3 Plus and I'm back to using two external displays in Clamshell mode.
