Experiences with SRS/Logitech SmartDock
Most of our screens are 1080p, we have one 84" monster that is capable of 4K but the SRS drives it at 1080p.
Skype video calls are at best 720p, and the video ingest is 1080p, so I can't really see what the 4K pixels would do for you. Add on to that if it did ingest at 4K how many laptops would struggle?
It's probably also worth mentioning that we're recently built some rooms with other sound options to the Logitech Group. It's great for what we count as middle sized rooms, 6-14 seats, but outside that there are better options.
For very small rooms we use the Senheisser SP20 Usb speaker, it is really excellent at the price (about £100). We tried lots of alternatives and found this really gave nearly as good sound as speakers that cost £300+.
For our largest rooms we found the Logitech Group, even with extender mics wasn't good enough. It's really the speaker output that doesn't give sufficient volume, and there isn't an option to put it through external amplification. Instead we're been using the Vaddio Easy USB with ceiling mics and speakers (http://www.vaddio.com/product/easyusb-mixer). It's not SRS Certified, some comes with some risk, and far more expensive, but it's absolutely amazing. We have rooms that regularly have meetings with 30-40 people and the Vaddio plugged into the SRS provides a great experience.
