[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1758524, member: 131855"] I'm not familiar with the quality of that dock so I can't answer about that. According to the description on that page and some of the answered questions to monitors can be connected simultaneously by doing either of the following: 1. Daisy-chaining two thunderbolt monitors together. 2. Connect one monitor to the thunderbolt port using whatever adapter is needed. Connect the second monitor to a usb port via something [URL="https://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/VIDU3DVIA/"]like this[/URL]. If you go the second route I suggest doing some homework first. I used an earlier version of a similar device and it did not work if you tried to put certain software on the monitor connected the usb video adapter. BTW OWC MacSales has a[URL="https://eshop.macsales.com/preorder/owc-thunderbolt-3-dock/"] thunderbolt dock with two thunderbolt ports[/URL]. It's not available yet but it should be possible to connect two monitors to that dock. This [URL="http://www.macworld.com/article/2920233/laptop-accessories/thunderbolt-2-docks-roundup-connecting-multiple-devices-to-your-mac-laptop-has-never-been-easier.html"]review of docks[/URL] might be helpful to you.
