I have this dock but I still wanted the branded one. Edit: I don't like how it covers the vent of the go so that's what made me still want the branded one. You set that up specifically so it wouldn't cover the vent that's why it's a still shot because video would show it falls back into a position where it does cover the vent.
You're right that the official dock is nice because the back vents aren't covered. It's doable to use the U-Green though, for me it very slightly covers the vents but I've used it for hours and I still think it's a solid choice for a dock
In the Windows Display settings, there's an option for orientation. It's a bit confusing because it may say 'landscape (flipped)' but mess around with those settings and you should be able to get it right. Let me know if you need further help!
my legion go couldnt fit my 4k tv screen ratio despite changed all settings to fix it. so im thinking i might need a bettee hmdi adapter or dock. do this dock hdmi helps legion go match any tv screen ratio?
It should be able to handle 4k @60hz - what is your Windows Display setting (i.e. Duplicate Display, Extend Display, etc.) and what's the resolution set to?
@@synthseb resolution max tried all of that duplicate screen etc. still theres wide bars on the side of screen. it doesnt fit the tv screen. my hp that has its own hdmi slot has no issues fitting the 4k tv screen but legion go has issues thats why im thinking maybe its the hdmi dock im using
@@Rr-j4x You may have to change the resolution on the Legion Go to fit the TV. It may be a less common resolution but could resolve the side bar edges issue. It's also possible to add more resolution options to Display settings, if you've already tried them all
@@Blackenedification if the Legion Go is centered on the dock, the USB-C port on the underside of the Legion Go is inaccesible. If you move the Go off-center, so the port is free - it can be accessed but there may not be enough space to attach a cable to the port on the Go
Hello, while using this dock while it is charging, the cable I connected to the Legion Go gets hot enough to burn my hands. Have you had a similar problem with your device?
Haven't had that much heat on mine. Just to be sure, are you using the official Legion Go charging cable to deliver power to the dock? Third party cables can sometimes overheat
Did you have any issues setting the external monitor higher than 60hz? I have a dock but only allows 1080p 120hz and 1440p 60hz even though my monitor is 144hz
@@synthseb I've just ordered the official legion go stand. It says on the Lenovo website that it runs 1440p 120hz. Most of the docks on Amazon seem limited to 60hz at 1440p.
Honeatly i have it plugged in but no clue how to get it to function properly. I plugged in the power cord into the dock and it doesnt work then i plugged in the wireless mouse dongle jnto the dock and its not working. Kind of lost
I haven't had this happen but I'd recommend unplugging everything, restarting the Legion Go and then plug everything back in, starting with the power delivery. Let me know if you still can't get it to work, happy to try and help you figure it out!
Can you get image and video from the USB-C 3.2 port ? so maybe i can connect a USB-C 3.2 gen 2 to Display port cable on it ? so i can have 2 monitors at the same time instead of only the one from the HDMI output ?
Good question! I haven't tested this yet, but looking thru the specifications and device details I don't believe the USB-C ports have DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt 3 for video output compatibility

Hey friends, it seems the official Lenovo Legion Go dock is now up for sale! Review coming soon...
Well that's extremely convenient for me because I love official hardware
@@legowyn24 The official dock sucks, dont bother.
It trash. Everything Lenovo made good but that
Great video! Thanks for the recommendation! Just bought it and works like a charm 😊
Great video, just what I was looking for, thanks!
Fantastic video, super clear and well explained. Do you know if it works on the Retroid pocket 5? Thanks!
Tx you for that review Synthseb.
1:20 and im ordering this contraption. "Ordering ugreen*

Which charger are you using with this setup? 100w, 90w or original 65w? thanks
I generally use a 10ft 240w USB-C cable connected to a 65w Insignia power brick
does anyone know if this dock works with the switch too?
Hello nice Dockingstation, how is the framerate at 2k 120hz?
2:30 how do you get the second screen to not rotate 90 degrees? I’ve tried hooking it up to my oled tv and it always comes up sideways.

I'd also suggest trying to "set external display as primary" - this option is under the display icon when you open Legion Space settings
thanks but it would have been nice to know if you can plug the pd port to the legion under port

Here in India it costs around 140 dollars
How is your experience with the go? Planning to get it and wondering between Deck ,Ally,Legion.... (India)
would the included charger work to power the ARZOPA 16.1'' 144Hz Portable Gaming monitor, keyboard and mouse or do I need a 100w charger?

The monitor is 144hz and I believe most games have been able to run at 120hz - depending on resolution

Assuming the TV has HDMI input, yes it will
@ nice, thank you
blocks half the vent..ivanky is better
Might appear that way in the video, but the back support is customizable and I've adjusted it to not cover the vent
I was worried about the same thing
@@rablezezze6715 its not customizable. you have to use it incorrectly for the stand to not block vent
