Question: Is this dock compatible with a Dell laptop and monitor
Document: I changed the settings in the Dell so that everything is seen on the PC monitor so that the Dell screen is not on at all when hooked in. From my usage, I think it saves some battery life of the Dell. It is a sweet set-up now. I have even used this for my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and my Sony Vaio TT180N laptop with no hiccups. I just use this dock at home so the tower style is not issue with me.
Matched with Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook and the Plugable VGA/DVI adapter for multiple monitor support. The dock has built in ethernet and supports a single DVI monitor (but comes with VGA and HDMI adapters).
That said skype doesn't auto select the right audio input quite as reliably as with a dell laptop and the audio jacks in a dell dock.all in all the question is not would I return this but will I buy a second for my home office.
I love this thing!!! I bought it for my Dell XPS 14Z, and it works beautifully. Hooked it up to two Dell 19" monitors (S199WFP), worked with no issues. Using it with Windows 8 Pro 64-Bit.Laptop Specs:OS: Windows 8 Pro 64-BitIntel Core i7-2640M, 2.80GHzRAM: 8GBVideo: nVidia GeForce FT520MUpdate: 12/3/13The dock worked fine for 2 days, and then things started malfunctioning.
So I have a total of 3 screens, including the surface screen, that all work wonderfully. One monitor is hooked up through VGA and the other monitor is also VGA. The second monitor is hooked up through the USB 2.0 port with a USB to VGA adapter which I had to purchase separately. (Just make sure any other adapters you need to buy are compatible with Display Link, which is what powers this docking station).
This is my fourth docking station in 10 years but my first one that is compatible with pretty much all laptops as long as they have a USB port.Set-up was very simple. I actually bought two. At home, I just extend my laptop onto another screen. At work, I have two large monitors connected to the Plugable, and close my laptop screen. On rare occasions it won't connect to the screens but I've just unplugged/plugged back in.
set up was simple and speed thru 3.0 port is great. i am updating home office computer to try to roughly match performance of work computer. this device allowed me to enable 3 monitors (laptop, 2 dell external) by plugging one into plugable, and using hd cable from laptop to other monitor.
That approach worked.Since then, it has operated flawlessly. The 2nd 23&#34; HD monitor has worked well. There is some stickiness in getting the mouse cursor to move from one display to the other on my home laptop (Dell 411z), but with the work laptop (HP 8540w) there is no delay in having the cursor hop from screen to screen.The attached mouse, display, headphones and external hard  disk have all worked well.
I was able to setup the UD-3000 with my Dell laptop and connect it to a larger monitor. It will allow the laptop to be disengaged by simply pulling the USB cable. It will allow speakers and a network cable to be easily used with the laptop, though I haven't done that yet. I initially used the VGA port for the monitor since the monitor had been connected to an old HP Pavilion that only had a VGA port.
Pros: inexpensive, fast, dual videoCons: doesn't detect when monitor is offI bought this for a colleague when he switched from a Dell dockable laptop to one that doesn't have a docking station. Overall, it works well connecting several USB devices including mouse, keyboard, printer and some other odd things, and the TV he uses as a monitor. The challenge here is that he has two TV's in his office and wants both connected even though most of the time he only uses one.
Answer: The UD-3000 works with great with my daughter's Dell Inspiron i15R-2105sLV and her monitor.  She has it plugged into to the USB 3.0 port and uses it with multiple screens (the monitor and the laptop screen).  The multiple screens has to be setup using the software that comes with the UD-3000, not the Windows screen resolution page.   It should work with any laptop with a USB 3.0 port.
