You need to update the display link drivers if it doesn't connect to the monitors.

They don't require the laptop have DP alt mode on the USB-C connector, which can be a plus, but this means the displays are using DisplayLink which is an abstraction layer built up on USB, and uses the CPU and GPU to render these displays in software. Which if your system is decently powerful and has a dedicated GPU, isn't really a huge issue, but if it has only CPU integrated graphics, DisplayLink performance can be quire terrible under certain conditions, like doing anything that's tasking the GPU with even something as "simple" as YouTube playback, and gaming is out of the question.
They're generally fine for most office uses, but gaming is not going to be a fun experience and if you have no dedicated GPU, even watching videos can lead to the display becoming a stuttering mess.
DisplayLink is useful, but it's not a replacement for a true display connection, like docks that connect over DisplayPort alt mode. But if your laptop doesn't have DP Alt Mode, this is the only way you're going to get a docking station, so it does have some uses.

Probably fine for most users and office use. Just be aware it will require additional drivers to output video to an external monitor, and you will not be able to drive dedicated GPU graphics to an external monitor with this dock if that is something you need.

They work fine with my normal USB C Dock, but wont go above 30Hz on this Targus dock. May be a limitation of DisplayLink. Researching it now.

Found this so far:
The maximum resolution supported is 3840x2160 @ 30Hz. See more information on the maximum resolutions supported through DisplayLink video outputs.
Thank you for contacting the Official HP Store on Walmart Marketplace.

Tried a different port on the monitor and 4K at 60Hz is working!!!

I immediately edit it, your quote replied quick..
But it is still on DisplayLink
I am very happy with this purchase, and I bought 3. I have a few sub $15 usb-c hub from amazon that support DP alt, so these extra displayport dock are very useful for different purpose.
It -is- an alt mode dock. That is clearly outlined in the manufacturers specifications.
