I have a Dell XPS 12 that only has USB and mini USB ports. Can I hook up my HDMI from monitor to this dock and then use USB to my computer?

It needs a USB (3.0 I think) to work. You can then run your monitor off that. However, the thing is awful and made weird graphical glitches on my work computer and a lot of other people had similar. I'd suggest not getting this.

As long as you have USB 3 it should work fine. I have a Dell XPS hooked to HDMI monitors through this dock.

You cannot get touch without using USB, but you may be able to get display but I have not connected the monitor to anything but a PC and Chromebook via DisplayPort.

This dock can support as many monitors as your CPU can handle.... it connects to the USB port on your lapotp

I use it with my Surface pro with no problems whatsoever. If the xps 12 has a mini data port that fits, it should work just the same.

It worked for my Dell (work) laptop. Just be sure and use the USB 3.0 output on your laptop for the dock.

Usually, docking stations are specific to a model from the same manufacture. I don't believe this docking station will work with your Dell. Just an idea (which I now use) is get a "USB Extension" that is powered, hook your USB devices to that, plug you monitor and sound speakers into the Dell and it should work just fine. Hope this helps

So sorry... my bad - the Dell does have a HDMI port and I use it for my HD mointor. I looked at the wrong PC.

Er, yeah. You run a USB cable from the monitor to the computer, and then get two USB ports on the monitor. I've never used these though.

Very easy and fully supported.The Dell XPS One 27 has only HDMI outputs.If you have a second monitor with a HDMI 1.4, you may have a second monitor with a resolution up to 4K or even more.

USB Sync Dock is the EXACT same thing with HDMI port, HD Radio Antenna, and Optical Output. It's just lacking those HDMI cable, Composite Cable and USB Adaptor which are cheap individually. You can get HDMI, USB Adaptor, for as low as $3 each including shipping. Don't need to worry about the quality coz it's 720P only and I've compared to $3 cables to monster, they are the same!

Yes. You'll need to connect it with a USB 3.0 Cable since there is only one monitor port.

For anyone interested, the HDMI output can be connected to a standard (white) DVI (digital video) cable by using a simple adapter (HDMI male x DVI female costing about $3.50 from China on eBay, $35 at Radio Shack) to use a digital monitor without having a normal digital video port on the computer or an HDMI input on the monitor. The video quality is true digital and better than VGA. I'm using dual digital monitors (neither had HDMI connectors, just VGA and DVI) on a different DELL with only choice of one each digital, HDMI or Dell Universal Display Port (DP) on the computer. One monitor is on the digital port and another with a simple plug adapter on the HDMI port. I've read there is also an adapter available to connect a regular digital (DVI) cable to the Dell proprietary Display Port on the computer.

The monitor only requires one USB port - plug in the shorter end of the USB input

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for posting your question here, Tewana! If your Dell monitor only has VGA ports, then you cannot use this product to connect the Dell monitor to any computer as the Plugable USB3-HDMI-DVI does not support VGA. It only supports connectivity via HDMI and DVI. Hope the above information helps! If you need any additional information, please do feel free to shoot us an email at support@plugable.com. We are here to help! Thanks! Regards, Roze Plugable Technologies

No. There is another docking station that has three usb ports which would allow the functionality you want. It is a little more expensive, but sold here on Amazon.

Freda, as I have found, if you have a laptop that has a port which will accept your digital camera's memory card, then you don't need the dock, good luck, John

This cable is not for USB port usage. It is a video cable HDMI to display port to be used from your HDMI on your computer to your computer monitor (assuming that your monitor uses this type of port, not all use this type of port).
