I'm very confused. Are you looking for help finding a monitor? What is the use case? What is the budget? Do you have a resolution preference?

You mean a thunderbolt dock that then goes to HDMI/DP? So Computer to dock then dock to screen?

For about $10 - $20 US you can simply but a thunderbolt to HDMI or DP port adapter, without the need for a dock.

Honestly mate no-one can understand what you're talking about. Maybe draw a diagram and show us what part is missing.

This won't work that way around.

 

This is USB-C/Thunderbolt TO HDMI, not HDMI to Thunderbolt.

 

And if you had a HDMI port, why are you looking for a thunderbolt screen? None of this makes any sense. This whole thing is nonsense.

I just am looking for a thunderbolt screen.

I was using it as a example 

I have resosons long range screens  hot swap easier and stuff

thunderbolt is not more a hotswap screen connection than HDMI is

Can you expand the diagram? What are you plugging into both sides? What is the input in this case and what specifi cdock are you using?

 

I don't think this works how you think. You can't use the HDMI as input in those adapters. 

 

You can't use an adapter like that to input to a dock, it doesn't work that way.

Do you want a Thunderbolt-to-multiple-ports docking station or a monitor with a Thunderbolt port? There is a problem with my translation plugin, and I can't understand what you mean very well.
