- Does it need drivers?
- Yes. It relies on DisplayLink-style software, so install the driver before connecting the monitors. Native USB-C alt mode alone will not drive four screens.
- Can it charge my laptop?
- No. It is bus-powered and passes no power to the laptop, so keep the laptop's own charger connected.
- What resolution can four monitors run?
- Expect standard HD or similar on each output; pushing higher resolutions across all four at once increases compression and CPU load.
- Does it add USB or Ethernet ports?
- No. It is HDMI only, so a separate hub or dock is needed for USB devices and wired networking.
- Which laptops work with it?
- Windows and macOS laptops with a USB-C port and the driver installed. Check the driver supports your OS version before buying.
