    This sounds stupid but do you have to toggle it to dual display on the laptop itself or go through the display settings?

      Just display settings. The keyboard button for toggling multiple displays does basically the same thing (choice of extending, duplicating, etc)

      I can technically run two external screens by plugging one monitor into the laptop’s HDMI port, but that kind of defeats the point of a port :( don’t think I’ll do it unless I really need to.

        Hmm I’m not sure how it really works through the dock to be honest.

        What happens when you put it into extending the screen option?

          It extends onto the laptop’s own screen (which is pointless as the laptop is closed)… Ah well, I’ve simply accepted that I can only use one monitor with this particular laptop via the dock. It’s too complicated for me to understand!

            What model dock are you using if I may ask?
