As mentioned, the dock includes dual HDMI and dual DisplayPorts, allowing you to connect two displays in tandem, regardless of connection type. While the dock does work on Mac computers as well, due to the lack of MST functionality in macOS, only one display can be connected in that scenario.

The WWCB Docking Station is now available on Amazon for $199 with a $15 off coupon, bringing the launch price down to $184.
