You can drive up to four displays simultaneously. The dock includes one HDMI 2.1 port and two DisplayPort 1.4 ports. This mix supports high resolutions and refresh rates. However, the exact maximum refresh rate per monitor is not specified. Always check your monitor’s capabilities against the dock’s output.

Reliable Wired Connectivity
