Display Link and Targus launched first universal dual-video docking station

A docking station is where it enables your laptop to connect to your wired network , keyboard, mouse , monitor , printer and other peripherals in a single step. Docks are not standardized and are therefore often designed with a specific make and model of a device in mind. Hence there arose a need for universal docking station. Universal docking stations, on the other hand, work equally well with a multitude of laptops. Instead of being built for a specific machine to snap into, they connect to your laptop via a single USB cable, making them easy to connect and disconnect. But the main issue in universal docking was that it does not deliver power to laptop. USB-based docks can't display the entire boot-up procedure, making troubleshooting an errant machine difficult. Display Link and Targus were the first to launch their first universal dual-video docking station to deliver laptop power. This new feature of this docking station is that it is capable of supporting dual 4K2K 60 Hz HD displays (24bpp) over a single USB connection to any laptop. The new Targus Universal USB 3.0 DV4K Docking Station (DOCK160USZ) provides universal compatibility for IT and corporate users over a standard USB 3.0 port, driving dual displays up to 4096x2160 via DisplayPort or HDMI. The Targus DOCK160USZ's two DisplayPort and two HDMI ports are offered in an "Any-Two From-Four" approach...
