After trying out 4 of them for the past year, the only TB3 Dock I recommend is the CalDigit TB3. Works great for 4K@60 and has every port I need for my media production needs.


I second this. The Caldigit TB3+ is rock solid for me. I don't start my work day in clamshell mode, though.


Which ones did you try that were no good or not suitable?


One was a 'dongle-style' one, I forget what brand, that I got off eBay. It worked... sorta, but it would get really hot and the screen would sometimes just go blank and require a full reboot of the computer to get back (unless I unplugged it).

The other one was mostly okay, but didn't have many ports and would also have weird issues when my computer was in clamshell mode — the Elgato Thunderbolt 3 Dock. It was mostly okay, but every week or two there would be a weird issue that I just don't see using the CalDigit model.
