Plugable’s newest docking station has real potential – let’s not waste it on spreadsheets

Plugable Dual HDMI Docking Station (UD-4VPD)

Plugable’s Dual HDMI Docking Station (UD-4VPD) isn’t a name that has you thinking about high-performance gaming amidst cascades of RGB lighting. Nor does it cause it to spring out as an essential tool for any content creator’s editing bay – but names can be deceiving. The UD-4VPD is an 11-in-1, high-speed USB4 docking station with a unique feature designed to win the hearts and minds of those who love to create and play.

When it comes to designing a great dock, Plugable knows exactly what they’re doing. Ports are essential, and the bread and butter of any good docking station on the market. Power is equally vital, keeping your workstation ticking through a full work day should come as standard. However, visual performance is something often overlooked – and while a lot of docks offer access to impressive resolutions, they remain shackled to a 60Hz refresh rate.
