Offers dual 4K displays from a single DisplayPort socket
Leverage MST on Windows to expand your desktop, with unique content on every screen - or mirror/duplicate screens as you wish. For macOS, the displays must be mirrored, but can show different content than the built-in screen. Includes 3.5mm stereo output for headphones or speakers.
Generally, with dual monitors comes dual connections to your computer. But what if your PC or laptop only has a single DisplayPort socket, what then? Well, that's the perfect time to make use of DisplayPort's party piece - Multi-Stream Transport (MST for short). It allows you to get two screens out of one socket, and if you're on Windows, you can enjoy full extended destop with different content on each screen.
This MST hub is DisplayPort v1.4 compatible, so if your graphics card or on-board GPU is v1.4 or better, you can enjoy two 4K@60Hz displays at once. Resolutions can be lower, such as 1440p @ 120Hz, so long as you come in under the 32gbps limit.
For maximum compatibility, a discreet ATI or Nvidia graphics card is recommended. Intel HD and other integrated graphics or APU chipsets like those found in tablets or entry-level notebooks may not be powerful enough to achieve the full capabilities of this hub. Intended for use with DisplayPort monitors. HDMI compatibility through DP++ Alternate Modes is not guaranteed, and results may vary depending on your hardware.

These days, a single monitor setup almost feels like a punishment. The experience of constantly expanding and minimising windows to perform a simple task knowing how easy it would be with a second monitor is frankly archaic. So this must be what Marty McFly felt like in 1955. Now unless you're a masochist, it might be time to introduce your display to a friend or two and experience how much better things can be. [
