If your monitor connecting to the DisplayPort interface on CalDigit's Thunderbolt 3 Dock has no video output, please check the monitor input settings (from OSD menu if there is one) and cable/adapter connections. Also to connect in between CalDigit's Dock and your computer, please use CalDigit's Thunderbolt 3 cable, NOT Apple's USB-C 2m white charging cable. For DisplayPort -> DisplayPort or DisplayPort -> mini DisplayPort monitor: Please make sure that you are using a high quality cable such as DisplayPort 1.2 cable to carry signal between your Thunderbolt 3 dock and your display. For DisplayPort -> HDMI monitor or TV: Please make sure to use an active DisplayPort to HDMI adapter or cable. Regular passive cable or adapter does not work. For DisplayPort -> DVI monitor: Please make sure to use an active DisplayPort to DVI adapter or cable. For DisplayPort -> Dual-Link DVI monitor: Please make sure to use a regular DisplayPort to mini DisplayPort (mDP) dongle, then connect that dongle to Apple's mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter then connect to a DVI-D monitor. Monitors that operate at higher resolutions than 1920 x 1200 require Dual-Link DVI adapter. For example: Apple Cinema HD Display (M9179LL/A) and NEC LCD3090WQXI. For DisplayPort -> VGA monitor: Please make sure to use an active DisplayPort to VGA adapter or cable.
