I've got an Elgato Thunderbolt dock, the first version. I've been in touch with Elgato support for months about a recurring issue: I have to power cycle the dock (unplug and reconnect power cable) to get the display to work when beginning to work (after waking Macbook from sleep and powering display on).

They've sent me a replacement dock and Thunderbolt cable, but still no dice. Anyone else have this issue? I'm wondering if the second version of this dock would be more reliable, or a different dock.

When I pull the dock out of my setup, and just use the Macbook with my external display, I never have any problems. But once the dock is connected between display and MBP, it works fine once I get the connection going, but almost every time I have to power cycle the dock.
