About LIONWEI Dual HDMI Docking Station for Windows & macOS
Overall Feedback:
68% positive
71% found it compatible with devices
I was contacted by the vendor to ensure compatibility with my computer and provided an alternative solution.
I also bought a cheap Rybozen HDMI capture box so I can stream my trading session, making the 1080p port not wasted.
66% found it compatible with different os,yet
The software installation process is painful for both Mac and PC.
The company restricted their product to recent Windows and Mac operating system versions and was rude when asked about a Linux driver.
64% liked the data transfer speed,while
This hub doesn't work with my setup because one of my monitors requires a refresh rate over 60 Hz, which seems to be throttled by the hub.
The HDMI uses an app called 'Instant View' and it lags.
70% appreciated the durability; however
The laptop-docking-station has been working fine for about a month.
The laptop-docking-station is very small and moves around a lot more than I would like. I will probably try to velcro it down to something.
The device worked great for a long time but failed at the end of the warranty period.
By July 2023, our product stopped working and only projected to one monitor. The other port failed.

72% were satisfied with the ease of use, althrough
Finding and downloading the drivers is easy, and the installation is simple.
Using the laptop-docking-stations was difficult due to connections being either too loose or too tight.
78% highlighted the multi-monitor support,but
After a while, both monitors stopped being supported by the hub.
I found the product description claiming support for 1080p with two monitors using HDMI to be inaccurate in my case.
I have to restart/logoff and log back in to make it work otherwise the screen does not come in monitors.
The adapter only mirrors two monitors with the same desktop as my laptop screen, not allowing me to use multiple monitors.
69% liked the number and types of ports,while
On this device, the other USB ports are only USB2.0.
Three of the USB-A ports failed after 27 months of usage.
I only have three USB 2.0 ports on my hub, not even one 3.0 like others.
I require both HDMI ports to work at 1080p, but it is not possible with the current setup.

62% were satisfied with the power delivery,but
To solve the issue, I need to connect more devices and increase the power consumption.
Although I can connect extra monitors to my laptop, there is no power going through the hub to charge my laptop.
63% appreciated the security features,but
The product spec sheet clearly states that only one channel is 4k and the other is 1080p MAX.
Occasionally, I notice a high-pitched buzzing noise coming from the dock when I am not drawing enough power but am drawing some.
