Digital camera reviews of Toshiba Dynadock U Universal USB Connect Docking Station
Digital camera Review: A Good & Versatile Doking Unit for User with many Device
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using my Dynadock U Universal Docking station for about a month. I find it a very versatile product for my needs. I am currently using it with my Toshiba Qosmio X505 laptop. I do a lot of CG work and I have a lot of peripheral systems that I use to help in my effort. It is nice to have the Dynadock be able to manage all my external accessories.
For Video;
.. I am using the DVI connection to my Samsung 26" 1080p Monitor. ( I have use the VGA, but the DVI is better. ) I have seen only few of the problems others have seen in the video output. But remember that the Dynadock uses a USB 2.0 from the computer for the connection. A single USB port on the computer is handling all the traffic, Sound/Video and whatever else one connects to the USB hub portion of the Dynadock. Understand that this is not USB 3.0, which can offer higher performance.
.. Also, the Dynadock uses a Toshiba designed video driver, which allows one to use the external monitor as an extend display (as I do). I am able to get 1920x1200, which is the resolution of my external monitor. I have noticed no noticeable delay at this time in the development of My Reels & Animations. I am not a gamer, so I do not know what others are seeing. But of I do game, my monitor has HDMI, I'll use that rather than going through the Dynadock.
-- The only problem I have had with the video portion is that the Toshiba Dynadock has a default resolution that is smaller than either my Qosmio and Samsung. This results sometimes in a much smaller display. I therefore, manually need to change the resolution back to normal size. This can happen if you pull out the Dynadock from your USB port without Undocking, the Dynadock, prior to removing your system. You'll may also notice this when you boot-up your system, you'll just need to restore your resolution. You can help prevent this from happening by using the Undocking button at the top of the unit, prior to USB removal, System shutdown or suspend. >> Remember this happens sometimes. Users of different systems could experience different.
Audio;
.. I have a an Altec Lansing FX5051 USB based 5.1 surround system. I am currently using in as a USB 5.1, which I will say is OK. I can also drive it through the Audio out on the back of the unit. Though it is only capable of pushing stereo. Occasionally I would lose speaker/sound configuration, in USB, due to all the content I push through this unit, ( I can hear the channels dropping off) and have to power-down/power-up the FX5051 to get configuration back. This can be a problem. My speaker system is already outdated. Maybe I'll get a S/PDIF to take advantage of the 7.1 capability of the unit.
I have other USB devices connected to this unit, but they are USB. I think the important information is above.
