{"product_id":"portwell-dock-4k-dual-display","title":"4K Dual-Display Dock","description":"\u003cp\u003eA display-first dock for people who need two monitors and little else. DisplayLink, so it works on machines that only drive one screen natively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisplayLink compresses the video in software and sends it over USB, which is how this drives two 4K screens from a laptop whose port only supports one natively. It costs a driver install and some processor time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat trade is worth making on a machine that cannot do dual displays any other way, and worth avoiding on one that can, since a native dock will always be lighter on the CPU. Check what your laptop supports before choosing between the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisplayLink needs a driver on macOS, and that is a genuine ongoing dependency: a major OS release can break it until the vendor ships an update. On Windows and Ubuntu it has been more settled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vertical stand is in the box because this runs warmer than a passive dock — compression costs processor time at both ends — and standing it upright roughly doubles the surface shedding that heat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BuyScout","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48079008792739,"sku":"PORTWELLDOC2-01","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/8440\/9507\/files\/portwell-dock-4k-dual-display-primary.webp?v=1788396234","url":"https:\/\/demo.buyscout.ai\/products\/portwell-dock-4k-dual-display","provider":"BuyScout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
