Dual Monitor Docking Station
This item is great! My granddaughter is using it for college. With having multiple classes with labs, she uses 2 monitors, and this is exactly what she needed to make her college experience much more interesting, and complete.

Hit and Miss
The Dual Monitor plug and play docking station is a very nice looking docking station, and the unit is fairly compact (but the plug is HUGE and takes a lot of real estate on a power strip). It is very easy to set up and I was pleased with how quickly it docked my mouse, keyboard and monitor. For the review, I hooked up a second monitor and it too was very easy. There are lots of extra USB ports which makes it very nice if you have a lot of devices you want to plug into your laptop. The front-facing USB3 ports make it very easy to connect high use items (phones and thumb drives) and also having the front-facing headphone and microphone jacks is also very handy. The only complaints I had were the power cord is a space hog. It is not going to fit in a power strip easily. Also when I tried to connect it to my Asus laptop the monitors didn't work (The keyboard, mouse etc worked just fine). So not sure why it was that the success rate was so sporadic. I guess that makes me too nervous to recommend all that highly.

    Very satisfied
    Unpacked the dock and connected the connections according to the diagram. I did have to use the DVI to HDMI adapter that was included since both my monitors are HDMI. Downloaded the drivers and software from the website. Used the window P to open the monitor box and selected "extended". Plugged the dock into my laptop. The monitors flashed a few times and then both monitors came on. Opened a word document and an excel spreadsheet and transferred them back and forth between both monitors. Everything works perfectly and was a fast setup.

    Great for the price. Had to find a workaround for audio, but I knew that when I purchased.

    Mostly good, but the jury is still out
    This has been in use for about a week now and everything seems mostly good to this point. I purchased this because I need a DVI connection for my monitor and it had good reviews on several sites. I'm not crazy about no computer power-on button which requires me to open my laptop to power up, but that is standard with a USB docking station. No way around it. Being vertical does tend to use much less desk space if you can set it where all the cords go off the back of your desk and out of the way. The Jury is still out in one aspect. When I first set it up it started to show the second monitor, but then froze. NOTHING I trie, restarting computer, poer monitor off and on, toggled through the monitor menu, etc., would refresh the second monitor screen - - until someone suggested unplugging the Plugable power and then plugging it back in - rather like a reset for the pluggable. That worked find until last night when I unplugged the power again because we were having a BAD thunderstorm. This morning I plugged it back in and once again the frozen screen. This time it took 3 re-powering tries before it worked as expected. My monitor is an older version so I am not yet saying if this is the Plugable or the monitor, but it is a problem. I will be less likely to power down in the future. Everything else is working well.

    Great product! Don't wanna share it!
    One USB cable to connect all my devices to my laptop. This product is a remarkable device. I'm able to connect dual screen monitors through it and have six additional USB ports for other devices. Unfortunately it has lead to my other half connecting her laptop to it also. First the man cave, now the home office.

    Pleasantly surprised by the ease of the setup.
    Like many others I am working from home and recently replaced my laptop with a lighter, smaller Lenovo version. After setting it up I found out that the laptop is not setup for multiple monitors. Lenovo recommends the Plugable model for multiple monitors so I went with their reco. As soon as the docking station arrived I read at the easy install instructions, made room on my desk for the station, set it up. The minute I connected my second monitor the display came up. I was pleasantly surprised. After having used it now for over a week I am a very happy camper.

    Good product and good service
    This product arrived earlier than planned. I have been using this product for about a week now and enjoy that there are plugs in front for those that I need to plug and unplug. Then the plugs in back are ones that I can plug it in and forget about it.

    FANTASTIC MULTI-FUNCTION DOCKING STATION
    When I first received the Plugable UD-3900 USB 3.0 Docking Station with Dual Video Outputs for Windows, I had a lot of hopes for using it. I must say that it out-performed all of my expectations. This is one handy little gadget! Anytime that you need to use two or more monitors together, you do not have to look any further than this Plugable UD-3900 USB 3.0 Docking Station. You can connect so many things to it. It may be small in size; it is about the size of an old Eight Track tape, but it is big enough to get the job done. There are two USB 3.0 ports, and four USB 2.0 ports. There are places for your headphones, microphone, tablet, phone, etc. It comes with everything you need to get you started. One thing that I found especially helpful was the CD. If you run into any snags while connecting everything, (and I did) the CD will walk you through it step by step. Make sure you play the CD before attempting to connect your devices. The Plugable UD-3900 USB 3.0 Docking Station with Dual Video Outputs for Windows is great for personal use, businesses and even school. I use it when I am working with our monthly finances. It is super easy to keep everything together and right in front of me. This little device is really amazing. I was expecting it to be a lot bigger.

    Expandibility plus
    The UD-3900 was ordered to provide an easy connection for a new larger monitor to my laptop computer. My goal was to use the laptop to display property records and to extract data into an Excel worksheet on the larger monitor. Prior to this equipment the only easy option was writing down the needed information and then entering it separately This was a slow process caused by my weak eyesight not by the software. The docking station is very small but offers many connections.. Starting at the top you have 4 USB 2.0 ports followed by a Gigabit Ethernet port. Then you have a DVI Output and HDMI output jack. Finally you have a USB 3.0/2.0 connection to your PC. Speakers, microphone, external hard drive, keyboard and mouse connections are also provided. When my new monitor arrives I will be up to date thanks to pluggable.com/products/ud-3900. The web site provides videos for some of the less understood issues with working with two or more displays in the Windows 10 environment.

    Simple to use!
    This docking station was incredibly easy to set up. My laptop now has a second monitor, which is really nice. I could very easily add another monitor, but two screens is plenty for right now. I like that if I need my laptop to be mobile, all I have to do is unplug it.

    Good docking station
    This device allows you to link up multiple devices at one time. I use this to be able to have dual monitors for work. The device has these ports: USB 3.0, USB 2.0, DVI, HDMI, VGA, Ethernet and an audio out. It comes with a DVI to VGA adapter, USB 3.0 cable and a power adapter. You can hook up 2 monitors one HDMI and one VGA. The device comes with the Windows drivers on a CD. The drivers install easy. The device is easy to use. Works well.
