I'm looking for a Thunderbolt 3 Dock that supports 3 monitors. Preferably, it would have at least 2 DisplayPorts.
Anyone know of good ones? I'm having trouble finding any.
Thanks!

Hi, not sure if you are still looking for a TB3 Dock. I've been looking around heaps lately. I think the HP ZBook Thunderbolt 3 Docks might work for you? Have you tried any or found something else that worked? I'm interested in your experience.

I am looking for the same thing. I am looking to upgrade my Dell 7470 to a 7480. With that I lose the Dell dock support and move to TB3. Have 3 places all set up with 2x full size DisplayPort so I need to buy 3 of these!
I think the one that will fit the bill is the Lenovo TB3 Dock. Seems to hit all my check boxes.

The ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 dock includes a Thunderbolt 3 port, two DisplayPort options, HDMI, VGA, Gigabit Ethernet, a headphone jack, and five USB-A 3.0 ports, with one that is always powered. The company said that users can connect as many as three displays to the Thunderbolt 3 dock, with two coming off the dual DisplayPort streams, and another connected to an extra Thunderbolt 3 output. One display will get up to a 3840 x 2160 resolution at 60Hz, while two displays will have the same resolution at 30Hz. In terms of power, the dock comes with a 135W adapter, with up to 65W of power to a connected laptop.
The HP dock @wezley_91 mentioned does look like it would hit all those boxes as well....but uses a TB3/power cable that looks molded. Probably best to use with an HP machine called out on their site

Look up the new Dell Dock. Early review are good, and it can run 2 4K monitors or 3 HD & charge a compatible laptop:

Good chance I purchase a Dell XPS 9560 after tax season and start running this setup. -
I saw the Dell TB16 and it looks decent. I think it bugs me that it has so many video connections. I like the ones with 2x full size DisplayPort. Irked enough that I would need to buy so many new docks, then I need to buy some new cables as well!
-
Yeah, I already have all the cables, haha. But I'm guessing they did that to accommodate as many people as possible.
-
I'm sure that is the case. I don't have to like it though.

Broke down and picked up 2x TB16s. Had to get a couple of miniDP to DP cables from Amazon.....but so far I am happy. No disconnection issues with my 7480 or 7370.
