Display Notes

Use Cases & Applications
Business & Presentations
Walk into any conference room and connect to a projector via VGA or a flat-panel display via HDMI. Meanwhile, the PD pass-through keeps your laptop charged throughout long meetings. This USB-C docking station replaces the need to carry multiple separate adapters.
Remote & Hybrid Work
Build a dual-monitor home workstation using both HDMI and VGA outputs. The USB 3.0 port also supports an external hard drive, flash drive, or wired keyboard for a streamlined desk setup.
Education & Training
Instructors can connect to classroom projectors instantly without driver installations or IT assistance. The compact form factor slips into a laptop bag alongside charging cables and presentation remotes.
Creative & Field Work
Content creators and photographers can preview media on an external display while transferring large files through USB 3.0. The short cable length keeps the hub close to the laptop, reducing workspace clutter during on-location shoots.
Compatibility
The Vention USB-C docking station works with most devices that support DisplayPort Alt Mode and Power Delivery. Compatible devices include MacBook Pro and Air (2018 and later), Dell XPS series, HP Spectre and EliteBook lines, Lenovo ThinkPad models, Samsung Galaxy Tab S series, and iPad Pro with USB-C. However, some budget USB-C laptops only support data and charging—not video output. Always confirm your device supports DP Alt Mode before purchasing for display purposes.
