27UD88 W not recognized

I have am using a Plugable USB-C docking station with a Dell XPS 15 9550 laptop. I just upgraded my monitor to an LG 27UD88 W. I have the monitor plugged into the USB-C port on the front of the docking station. The monitor is not recognized. If I plug the monitor directly into the XPS 15 it operates fine. I’ve tried switching cables but that doesn’t work either. Any advice?

Hello,

Thanks for contacting us. Unfortunately the front USB-C port is for USB data only so it cannot pass video through to your monitor.

Thank you,
