    Hi all. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on a P650HS-G from HID. I have a 3440 x 1440 LG ultra wide monitor. I'm looking at grabbing this USB C dock to connect the P650 to an external mouse, keyboard, Ethernet, sound, and monitor:

    Does the USB C on the P650 deliver video via display port? And if so, will it be able to deliver that resolution and at what refresh rate? Any other feedback about docks would be appreciated.

    That dock like all USB type C docks will do displays via a USB connection and it will be ok for 2d work like documents then they will not be GPU accelerated.

    The good news is that the display outputs will work with the specs they given. The bad news is they wont be high performance displays.

    You would need a native thunderbolt dock and a machine with a thunderbolt port to drive a display through the GPU.
