For everyone facing this issue. it's not a fault with the dock. Apple decided not to support MST (Multi stream transport) which is necessary for DP protocols to power multiple monitors. But there's a workaround for Mac's that would let you use two monitors (Intel Macs and M Pro/Max chips only, physical limitation on M chips, non pro/max ones). One of the monitors should go into the DP/DP over USB-C/HDMI port and the other monitor should essentially be connected to the Thunderbolt-3 port on the farther side of the dock (not the other type C with DP on it), this way one monitor is powered using Thunderbolt-3 (you can use a Type-C to DP cable) and the other one to the native display output pin.

Honestly, this is easily one the most resourceful videos I've seen on YT ever. I find so many cut it short. light on details, forcing everyone to ask all these q?s in the comments section. This is great: you showed footprint, you plugged it in, tested configs... I literally got all my answers. BTW, I find it super interesting that this video is titled w/ the Mac in mind, yet all these PC laptop questions in the comments. So weird. Anyhow, cheers dood.

Thanks very much @dailybatman, I try not to be too boring to listen to. To answer your question not really, however usually its due to external factors that could cause slow network speeds, not usually related to dock hardware. Factors that could cause slower then expected speeds would be older or damaged network cables, limitations set by switches and routers. I even had recent incident where massive speed different using different browsers on the same computer and turns out it was the organisation proxy limiting particular browser type speed.

Its worth noting that the 2x display port arent really full ports, they are just two halves of the multilink displayport. What that means is if you want to run 2x4k@60Hz monitors, you will need to put one monitor on one of the display port sockets, and the other you will have to get a TB to DisplayPort cable, and plug it into the passthrough TB socket.

I agree this dock is very expensive my suggestion's are to do a search for your local computer stores around you. In Australia I found our computer stores selling it for AU$350-400 which is cheaper than Dell Australia RRP$495. I use this site a lot in australia which compares pricing for computer stores in australia staticice.com.au

I was able to make two external DELL monitors work (DP & HDMI with Dongle) with the Mac book pro (touch bar). The monitor with DP cable goes into 1 of the DP ports and the monitor with HDMI (with a dongle) goes into the usb-c port in the back that has power icon on the docking station. I did not directly connect the HDMI cable to the docking station. If i do that it gives mirror display on the monitors.

Hi Glogsplat, welcome to my videos, before you drop some serious money at this have a look at a OWC thunderbolt 3 dock I have been recommended these work far better with Macs in mind. They were pretty expensive but this WD19TB is actually more expensive then the OWC so I do suggest to have a look at that.

@@BsianTech Thanks for the recommendation. Just looked into it, it does certainly seem like a better device for Mac to use straight out of the box, especially considering the prices are so similar. Dell is having a sale on the WD19TB right now putting it down to $372.75 so it is cheaper right now than it usually is. Did you have many issues setting up your Mac to work with the WD19TB or any other Dell docks or was it a relatively smooth process overall?

@@glogsplat Oh if it is on sale atm then the WD19TB be a good alternative. As the video shows it works straight out of the box if you just using one external monitor. We still waiting for Displaylink to update the drivers for the mac to try make it work more than one monitor for the mac.

Hey man amazing review! I'm confused on the power button on the dock. What does it do if it you couldn't actually get it functioning? Also you think the battery or something will overheat if I don't unplug or somehow turn off the dock thru the power button? Thanks!
@BsianTech 5 жыл бұрын
Hi @Anmol Thiara welcome to my videos. Thanks for the feedback. The power button on the dock mirrors the same function your power button does on the laptop (provided it is a supported model, most cases it will) eg. if you have set your power button on your laptop to sleep in Windows then the power button on the dock will do the same. Most laptop batteries for the last decade won't overheat (if it isn't a faulty battery) if it is constantly plugged into the dock even if it is shutdown or running as most laptop batteries have smart charging built into it. Hope that helps your questions =).

Phenomenal Video!!!! BRILLIANT!!! I I must get a Dell dock for work related reasons. I have (2) 4K monitors. Should I get the WD19, WD19S (either 90W or 130W) (no audio jack?) or the WD19TB or WD 19TBS. So sorry all these names are difficult to track!! My work issued laptop is a Latitude 5420. The compatibility chart re docking stations from Dell says WD19/19s are supported and that WD 19TB/TBS is recommended. Which of these docks will give the resolution for (2) 4k Monitors? Thanks in advance!!! (Thinking ahead- my future laptop will probably be a lightening cable laptop.) I am also having a hard time understanding whether my Latitude 5420 is thunderbolt or not because it has (two Thunderbolt 4 port with DisplayPort Alt Mode/USB4/Power Delivery). I would appreciate your help to clarify!!!!
@BsianTech 2 жыл бұрын
Hi @belle mm, if you are looking to run dual 4k monitors then only the WD19TB and WD19TBS is what you are after. The non-WD19 can only go 2k for dual monitors. As for which to go WD19TB vs WD19TBS its practically the same dock just S version has no headphone jack that's it. The Latitude 5420 has thunderbolt 4, it doesn't look like you can get a non-Thunderbolt version of the USB-C port on them so that will save you research on that. You can refer to this dell page on the WD19TBS on the 4k support for the different number of monitor configuration, www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-au/dell-wd19tbs-dock/wd19tbs_user_guide/display-resolution-table?guid=guid-cb54f38b-163a-41bf-8b2e-3e6f3835d2ea&lang=en-us . I hope this helps clarify and assist in the search for a docking solution for you.

Can you use the thunderbolt 3 port on the back as the primary connection to computer? The reason I ask is because I want to position the dock further away from the computer than the dock's hardwired cable allows. And I can't seem to find a TB3/USB4 extension cable anywhere! (at least one longer than 6 inches)

Hi Stretch, thanks for this really good question. I was curious and tested this out myself on the WD19TB and can report that if you plug in a Power+data thunderbolt 3 cable to the back thunderbolt port on the WD19TB it "WILL NOT" make the dock work, it won't charge nor will it pass through USB or ethernet or display ports to the computer, therefore the thunderbolt port at the back of the dock is not an upstream thunderbolt port. So you must use the hardwired USB-C cable on the WD19TB. Sorry unable to find a solution for your situation.

Great video, but i have two questions. 1. I have notebook Precision 5540, Dell dock station WD19TB and the Desktop PC. I've plugged my monitors and input devices into Dockstation and connect dockstation to notebook via Thunderbolt. Works great but if i need my Desktop PC than i should replug all cables to PC which is pain everytime. I've already spend almost 400$ on dockstation and dont want expensive solution atm. My PC doesnt have Type-C/Thunderbolt port so i cant unplug dockstation from notebook and plug into PC. The question: is there some PCIe card with Thunderbolt port/USB-C that can used for connecting with dockstation and can transfer power and etc. from PC to dockstation, monitors and take input info from mouse and keyboard which are connect to dockstation? Or do i even need PCIe? May be there is easier solution, some cable smth like VGA to type-c port for connecting to dockstation? So in the end of the day i can just plug/unplug 1 cable between 2 systems. 2. If there are no any solution from question 1. what is the cheapest KVM for my solution?

Hi Jack Zhang, first off just comparing the non-thunderbolt versions of the docks which is the WD15 and WD19 only. Boiling it down to the major real difference if you don't compare the different types of ports both have for monitors if you are running any 4K monitor get the WD19 it will have proper support due to the port performance increase where as the WD15 will only support a single 4K @ 30Hz via the miniDisplayport or HDMI. I hope that helps.

@@vasilyobmanov650 Shouldn't be a problem for your laptop to get all the interface working just remember to plug the dock into the thunderbolt port at the back of the laptop and not the USB-C port on the side. The other thing I would be worried about only for the dock is it might not have enough power to charge your Alienware R5 as your laptop will more than likely pull more than the 90W as it isn't an official supported hardware if it was it would be 130W. The WD19DC can do 240W being dual cables but again official supported systems. As I'm not sure the configuration and your power adapter you have, more than likely even if you have the WD19TB plugged in you will still require to plug your normal power adapter to the laptop to charge it properly.

Hi Andy leung, welcome to my videos. Both of the computers you mention shouldn’t have issues displaying dual extended 1080p @ 60hz monitor via the dock. Just make sure you plug the dock into the thunderbolt port on the matebook x Pro, it should be the USB-C port that’s furthest away from the headphone jack. One the new XPS 7590 there is only one so no confusion there.

So you need to connect the second monitor to the back thunderbolt port on the WD19TBS, you might need a convertor from DisplayPort or HDMI to USB-C.
