Question about i-tec USB-C 4K Triple Dock 85W
I'm a little confused about the specs for compatibility with the Macbook Pro 2019. I have a 3x monitor gaming setup now I've always connected the Macbook to only one monitor from my setup. But I wonder if it is possible to connect at least 2 monitors ( Macbook + 2 ) with this dock. According to my research, the manufacturer says no because the ARM processor architecture does not support this, but I have an Intel processor that does not have this architecture. Will this work or can someone recommend a hub to which I can connect 3 monitors (preferably with HDMI and DisplayPort), which preferably doesn't cost 300?

Hello,
macOS does not support MST technology - because of that, you can use 1 external monitor (every other monitor will show the same picture). We do mention this on our website.
MST technology does allow to "split" DisplayLink signal to 2 or 3 external monitors. But because the macOS does not support MST, then macOS cannot split this signal - and because of that every monitor connected to the docking station will show the same picture on macOS.
Because you have a gaming setup, then the best option for you would be a docking station based on Thunderbolt technology. You can search for example TB3CDUALDPDOCKPD or TB3HDMIDOCKPLUS.

I don't know if it works with the dock. Have a look at Baseus, which I switched to after I couldn't use this hub either.
