What to buy for 2 extra display at 4k

Hi MiriadPlayer,

I'm just wondering about your use case - what are you doing on your laptop? Are you looking to play games on the 4K screens, or is it just to use browsing / office applications?

If you're only looking at browsing and office applications, then a USB docking solution would work very well, such as the Dell D6000.

If you're looking at trying to play games on the 4K screens, then a USB solution would hurt your framerate too much and I wouldn't recommend one for that. For that, the only real solution is to plug the monitors directly into the outputs on the laptop so that they use the discrete graphics directly. See this article for more information.

Kind regards,
Andrew
