In terms of video output, the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported by a docking station varies by model and brand.
Different docking station models vary in video output capabilities. Some high-end docking stations support higher resolutions and refresh rates, while low-end or budget docking stations may be limited in this regard.
The maximum resolution supported by a docking station usually depends on the display interface and chip built into it. Some docking stations can support resolutions up to 8K (7680x4320), while others may only support 4K (3840x2160) or lower. When choosing a docking station, users should match it to their monitor and resolution needs.
Refresh rate refers to the number of times a monitor updates its image per second. The refresh rate supported by a docking station also varies depending on its model and performance. Some high-end docking stations can support refresh rates up to 240Hz, while ordinary docking stations may only support 60Hz or lower. High refresh rates are especially important for gamers and application scenarios that require fast response.
The video output capabilities of a docking station are also limited by its interface type. For example, HDMI interfaces generally support higher resolutions and refresh rates, but the specific values depend on the interface version and the design of the docking station. USB-C or Thunderbolt interfaces may support higher data transfer rates and richer video output options.
When choosing a docking station, users also need to consider its compatibility with computers and monitors. Computers and monitors of different brands and models may support docking stations to varying degrees.
In addition to the above factors, the performance of the docking station in actual use may also be affected by other factors, such as the quality of the connecting cables and the performance of the computer.
The maximum resolution and refresh rate supported by the docking station for video output varies depending on factors such as model, brand, interface type, and compatibility. When choosing a docking station, users should make comprehensive considerations based on their needs and budget to ensure the best video output effect.
