About this deal

At the front you’ll find a blue LED power indicator and green USB status light, and easy access to two powered USB ports, the headphone and microphone inputs. The DynaDock is designed to stand on its own, rather than forming a support for your laptop like many other docks.

Intel® Pentium®/Celeron® family, or AMD K6®/AMD Athlon™/AMD Duron™ family, or compatible processor recommended (Intel® Core™ 2 Duo 1.There may be a button on the monitor/TV to select the video input you have the dynadock connected to. The DynaDock is available in black, silver and white, but since we prefer the dark side, the black model is the one we’re reviewing. Tech Tip: If you are having trouble deciding which is the right driver, try the Driver Update Utility for Toshiba Dynadock U3. That means that including the host PC monitor, the dynadock 4K enables you to use three high resolution displays at once – so you have ultimate flexibility in your media. One final notable feature is the button at the top of the station that undocks your laptop at a single press.

Some devices draw more power and the dynadock may not be able to provide the power these devices require. Another product segment that’s benefited is the humble docking station, making it possible to get networking, audio and display data – not to mention peripherals – all travelling down one cable. Connectivity is extensive, comprising six USB ports (4x rear, 2x front), DVI and VGA, optical audio and stereo jack outputs, a 10/100 Ethernet port and the upstream USB port for connecting your laptop. Thank you for your reply, as you can imagine I am very new to the macOS world so might not be surprised when I say 'How do I check if I have installed the correct version of the driver ?Still, disconcerting or not, everything worked fine after a restart and the whole process (including assembly and cable routing) takes around 10 minutes from start to finish. There are also headphone and microphone jacks on the front, while the two front-mounted USB ports will charge connected devices even when the dock isn’t active. However you can still effectively enjoy a triple display experience from one laptop: one monitor connected to the Dynadock, one to the laptop and the laptop’s own display being the third.

If your desktop or laptop is running slow, or keeps crashing or hanging, there is a good chance that updating your drivers will fix the problem.

A beta Windows 7 driver is also available, which we can confirm works just fine – albeit with very occasional and minor quirks. Pay in 3 is a form of credit, may not be suitable for everyone and use may affect your credit score. Our sample came with a notice that optimal functionality under Vista requires a (181MB) driver download, rather than the version on the included CDs, but you’ll probably want to check for new drivers anyway, since Toshiba has promised quarterly updates.

Verify the power cord on the monitor is plugged into the outlet andconnected to the external monitor.

So high definition entertainment is watchable, but it’s by no means the pleasant experience I was – perhaps naively – hoping for. Therefore I know the Hardware can support the dock, it is just a case of knowing if the macOS SW can also support the dock. Its standout feature is that Toshiba’s dock lets you connect digitally to an extra monitor using almost any USB-enabled computer, thus, if your notebook only has D-SUB output, you can essentially get a digital display on your monitor. Unlocks new features and configuration options in your devices, especially with video cards and gaming devices.

One minor gripe is the lack of Gigabit Ethernet, with just 10/100 ‘Fast’ Ethernet on offer, but chances are you’ll stick to using your laptop’s Wi-Fi connection anyway.
