Hi all,

Looking for recommendations for a docking station. I currently work on just the 32" 4K monitor, but it doesn't share well on teams so I'd like to add my old 27" 1080P to the mix mainly to share and keep Outlook open, etc.

Right now I plug the 4K directly into my worklaptop using an HDMI cable, and I have a separate simple USB hub for peripherals.

I noticed the Dell has some USB upstream and downstream ports but I am not sure how to use those.

What is the make, model and SKU to your laptop?

The USB ports on the monitor are meant to be a substitute for a USB hub, not a substitute for a KVM switch/docking station.

Where are you located? What is your budget for your docking station? What is your preferred site for purchase?
