Q: Will this docking station work with my computer?
A: A computer that has a Thunderbolt 4 port or USB4 port that is running Windows 10 or later or macOS 11 or later should be compatible with the Plugable TBT-6950PD docking station. Computers that do not meet these requirements are not supported.
Q: Do I need to install software or drivers in order to use the TBT-6950PD docking station?
A: Yes, a DisplayLink software application must be installed on a Windows or Mac computer in order for the dock’s HDMI video outputs to function. This process is typically automatic on Windows, but must be manually installed on macOS.
Q: Is this docking station compatible with M1 / M2 / M3 Mac laptops?
A: Mac laptops with ‘base’ M1, M2, or M3 processors will only support up to three external displays. Macs with M1 Pro, M1 Max, M2 Pro, M2 Max, M3 Pro, and M3 Max processors will support up to four external displays.
Q: Are my monitors compatible with the TBT-6950PD docking station?
A: Monitors up to 3840x2160 resolution at a 60Hz refresh rate with HDMI or USB-C video inputs are supported. USB-C video adapters (purchased separately) can also be used if needed.
Q: When installing DisplayLink software on my Mac, why is it necessary to grant ‘Screen Recording’ permission?
A: macOS requires "Screen Recording" for the DisplayLink driver to work properly. Approving it enables the driver to send data over USB from your computer to the DisplayLink-powered display. No data, images, or pixels are being stored or recorded.
