So Versitile!
Received this device a month ago and could not be happier. I have been able to install this in my home office with 3 external monitors and it lit up perfectly! Plenty of ports and heavy duty to say the least. This thing a brick, but in a good way. The best review I can give is that my wife plugged her work laptop in and I did not have to do anything! She was off and running!

Solid Dock
This dock for 4 monitors is pretty amazing. This dock performed as expected and I was able to connect 4 monitors over display port effectively. One thing to note is that monitor 4 always took a little longer to "pop-up", but this wasn't a deal breaker for me. Once all 4 monitors were online, they stayed up. I will say that the monitors I used are NOT 4K so your experience with 4K might be a tad different, but overall connecting 4 monitors was painless. The 100W power was a little inadequate for my workstation and I wish this the capability of delivering upto 230W of power for power hungry workstations. Overall, the build quality of this is pretty solid -- something you know you expect out of StarTech.

DK31C4DPPD Dock Station with Multiple LED Brands
I had the opportunity to test the Startech DK31C4DPPD dock station with various LED brands, and it exceeded my expectations:
Performance (5/5): This dock station seamlessly connected to my laptop and an array of LED monitors, whether it was for watching a video, gaming, content creation, or general use. The Power Delivery feature made it even more convenient by charging my laptop while connecting to all my devices.
Versatility (5/5): No matter the monitor brand, the Startech DK31C4DPPD handled them all effortlessly, delivering impeccable video quality. It's a versatile solution for any setup.
Ease of Use (4/5): Setup was straightforward, and it's essentially plug-and-play. My only minor gripe was the power button placement and missing USB slots in front.
Value for Money (4/5): While not the most budget-friendly option, the dock station's performance and compatibility with multiple LED brands make it a worthwhile investment.
In conclusion, the Startech DK31C4DPPD is a versatile solution that enhances productivity and connectivity, regardless of the LED brand. I highly recommend it to professionals looking for a reliable docking solution.

Reliable Product.
I have used a couple of docks in this line across multiple employers and they have been rock solid. I've been using a laptop as my primary computer for years now and just plugging a single cable in beats grabbing a bundle and plugging in a half dozen cables every time you walk in the office. I have one oddity that I'm not sure if its with the dock or with Apple, occasionally Ill plug in an only one of my monitors is detected at first, if I turn my dock off and on then all my monitors wake up. This is a suggestion, place the headphone jack on the back, some people still use desktop speakers. After over 5 years of using Startech docks I don't have a complaint, they may be a bit pricier but they just work.

Look no further
The initial unboxing didn't quite deliver the anticipated excitement that often comes with revealing a product you had high hopes for. The device resembles a brick and demands a robust external power source. On a brighter note, when your focus is firmly on functionality, it becomes effortless to disregard the hefty addition you've just introduced to your workspace.
A single, streamlined USB-C cable that offers nearly instantaneous power and ample support for multiple 4K displays. I'd like to believe that my computer's performance is what provides this experience, but my past experience with similar products has shown me that it's not the case. This has truly changed my expectations of docking stations and provided the ability to feasibly manage multiple displays without any headaches.
If you're looking to enhance your workstation and simplify your connectivity needs, I highly recommend this multiple video docking station. If you're comparing different docking stations, make sure to give this one a try as your first choice. It will save you the time and disappointment of exploring other options. It's a fantastic addition to any setup.

Great dock with lots of ports!
This docking station has everything you need to setup a home office environment:
2 - USB 3.2 Type-A (9 pin, Gen 1, 5Gbps)
1 - USB 3.2 Type-A with BC 1.2 (9 pin, Gen 1, 5Gbps, 7.5W Power)
1 - USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB Type-C (Fast-Charge, 24 Pin, 10 Gbps)
4 - DisplayPort
4 - HDMI
1 - Ethernet Gigabit
1 - 3.5 mm Mini-Jack (4 Position)
Host Connectors
1 - USB 3.2 Type-C (24 pin, Gen 2, 10Gbps)
Having both HDMI and DisplayPorts for monitors is fantastic - you no longer need adapters to make sure you can plug in. The GB port is great for those that want to be hard wired vs wifi to achieve optimal network speeds. The 100w laptop charging port is fantastic as it provides ample charging for the devices I was testing on this device (HP and Dell).
Out of the box I did have to upgrade to the latest DisplayLink drivers and it was smooth sailing after that! Great addition to the home office.

Yes windows, no Mac?
Specs looked promising. Works great with a Win10 laptop driving two FHD on HDMI but does not work with multiple newer MacBook Pro or air (macOS 12.5 Mojave. Tried different cables, reboots, ports. Just doesn’t like the Mac.

Seems to have an issue with Multiple Monitors.
We bought 100's of them. they are having issues with Multiple Monitors.. The Dock RESETS randomly . So if you have everything set up on multiple monitors, and the reset happens. I have NOT contacted the vendor with this, I hope they can give a resolution...

Excellent quad 4K dock
I bought this to use with my setup that consists of a 3 yr old Thinkpad that has a 5Gbps USB-C port (no thunderbolt, connected to few USB 3.0 devices and four monitors. Two of the monitors are 4k and other two are 2k.
Pros:
1. Setup was super easy. After plugging in all the monitors and devices, I installed Displaylink drivers and everything worked instantly.
2. Monitor resolutions were off in Windows, so it required a few clicks to set. Again, super easy.
3. This is one of the non-thunderbolt docks with a downstream USB-C port.
4. For each monitor, there is an option to use HDMI or Displayport. I have all the monitors connected to HDMI and running at 60Hz.
5. I ordered a dock mount (Startech part# SSPMSUDWM), which allows mounting the dock on the wall or under a desk. I have it mounted under a desk.
Cons:
1. I wish there were more USB-A ports. The dock has total 3 USB-A ports, which I feel may not be enough for some people. I had to get a USB hub with 7 ports and connected it to the dock.
2. The power button LED, is on the opp side of where all the display ports are. So it means that if you place the dock with all the ports facing you, then the power button LED would be on the back and not easily reachable/visible.
My wish list for this dock:
1. The charger is huge. Mounting it under the desk isn’t easy. I wish Startech can make a GaN charger, which would be much smaller and easy to mount.
2. The ethernet port is 1Gbps. I wish Startech can upgrade this to a 10Gbps port or at least a 2.5Gbps port. Many other docks offer higher speed ethernet ports these days.
