But there’s a third option that’s been quietly gaining steam: docks using Synaptics' DisplayLink technology.
While you might notice some quality hits with intense gaming, most day-to-day desktop duties are unaffected.
That’s massive for a relatively low-cost dock solution.
Meanwhile, DisplayLink docks can run 4K displays at 120Hz or a single 4K screen at up to 144Hz.
Beyond raw specs, DisplayLink Pro marks an interesting evolution of the dock concept itself.
And backward compatibility with older DisplayLink gear is baked in, so you could upgrade without tossing existing docks.
