Yeah, you can actually use these dongles to connect more monitors.

A DisplayLink is not a real dock. It's basically compressing the display output using the CPU and decompressing it using an external GPU in a box to output it to more displays. The performance is terrible, you get weird artifacts, there's lag, you can't use it for gaming, etc.

Sure, don't use it for gaming, but I wouldn't call it terrible. See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38131364
