Startech Docking Stations Dual-Monitor Setup
Startech Docking station’s dual-monitor setup is a great way to multitask. It also allows you to establish seamless connections with random peripherals while functioning as a USB Type-c Docking interface.
The USB-c dock allows for the uninterrupted connection of both monitors. You can connect two HDMI displays or two DVI displays at 1920x1200p. The connection frequency will remain at 63Hz. The second option is to connect 1x HDMI or 1 DVI display.
You can connect multiple devices with the full USB 3.0 setup. This provides uninterrupted bandwidth and faster data transfer speeds. Supporting the 8gigabit Ethernet network is also possible by using the USB 3.0 peripherals.
The USB type-C also allows for the use of the USB 3 port and gigabit Ethernet ports.
Prerequisites to Startech Docking Stations Dual Monitor Setup
Make sure that your device drivers, firmware, or operating system are compatible with your setup. The quality of the video card and the specifications for the laptop connected will also affect the output video.
Not all USB C ports will provide you with the full functionality of USB type C standards. For full functionality, make sure that the USB C port on your desktop supports alt mode and USB power delivery.

- Add the wired network connectivity to your computer and the audio devices. This will require a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port (built-in 10/100/1000Mbps compatible RJ45 Ethernet port), and a headset Jack with separate 3.5 audio/mic ports.
Step 2. Establishing a connection to the monitors
- To use the second monitor, go to the power menu and tap Win+X.
