    Thank you Sir! I had this dock now for months and I couldn't figure out how to get dual extended monitors without hooking up a HDMI to my MacBook Pro for the second monitor. I have just added a new USBC to Display Port cord to fix this and only have a single connection to my MacBook. Bravo Sir!!!

    Thank you so much for this video! Everything I was reading on Apple's support forums suggested that you simply could not use multiple external displays in extend mode, and I was almost ready to believe them! The tip to connect one of them through USB-C was just what I was looking for!

      It is, once you have the thunderbolt port you can daisy chain it which is kinda what you doing for the second display

    Hi, Thanks for all your excellent reviews. I and many others are having issues driving three monitors from this dock via the two DP ports and the HDMI port. One of the monitors connected via DP goes black for a few seconds several times a day. No errors are shown or logged. A replacement dock from Dell and changing the cables made no difference. The only solution has been to buy a TB to HDMI cable and use that instead of one of the DP ports. But it's annoying we can't enjoy the full functionality of this dock. I'm using an XPS 17 9730 laptop with U2515H monitors but others have had the same issue with this dock using other laptops and displays.

    8:29 this pro shot really helped me identifying what I have done wrong. I had the USB-C at the wrong location. In that case the screens are mirrored. So for a year or so I used to directly connect to mac, but this was really annoying as I always had to remove to cables when I switched laptops.
    Thank you so much for this video, very helpful!

    The actual board between the WD19TB/s and WD22TB4 are identical on the inside with the exceptions of the TB3 vs TB4 interface. The newest one is missing the audio codac chip for the headphone and micorphone sockets. DELL does sell a customer upgrade kit for the WD19TB/s, allowing you to take it upto the WD22TB4 spec. DELL's docks does have a fan inside the unit, for the majority it's very quiet.

    this is supposed to be really good. that's real.
    but if 'hdmi to hdmi' or 'USB-C to hdmi' is connected to dock together, your monitors doesnt show.
    so you have to prepare 'hdmi to hdmi' or 'USB-C to hdmi' with 'DP to hdmi' if you wish to watch 2-3 monitors.

    At 13:55 you say you need the WD22TB4 to run a MacBook with two external extended displays, but you can also use a WD19TB, which are about the same price as the WD19S on eBay at the moment.

      I have made both, when I referring to the word "need" I meant at the time of recording you can only buy new from Dell. WD19TB is no longer available to purchase from Dell directly. I have made a video few years back demonstrating the WD19TB too.

    thank you, that is some quality information and video! i have an m3 max macbook pro and I'm not sure if the WD22TB4 will charge the 140W that it requires or the WD19DCS is a safer choice for charging, do you have any toughts?

    • @BsianTech
      @BsianTech  8 месяцев назад

      Thanks @kalifelipe appreciate the feedback. Unfortunately the WD22TB4 will only supply 90W to non-Dell devices, so you will be left with WD19DCS but there is a catch to the WD19DCS, it isn't a thunderbolt dock (yes I have made given feedback to Dell to request for the DC to be made thunderbolt but yet to see it). Because the WD19DCS isn't thunderbolt it won't do dual extended external monitor display. If you are after dual monitor extended desktop mode display you are better off with the WD22TB4 and then plug in the supplied apple power adapter plus the WD22TB4 together. Don't we wish Apple produce a docking station for their high end Macbook Pros to help their power users!

    It’s starting to feel a bit of a rip-off that premium Thunderbolt 4 docks don’t have 2.5 gig ethernet and stick with the standard 1 gig… It’s extremely useful for home / office data copying across your network to a NAS or media box. You can keep all your data in the loft and not have hard drives all around you for video editing.

    Hi! Thanks for your Hardwork!
    I have a question. What happens if rather than using the dock with a laptop you try It with a desktop I think a precisión 3240? Or a phone .
    How does that works. If you think It can fry a phone, you just tell me about It, so I dont end up one day killing my phone with a dock station.
    At the moment I am saving for a wide monitor, then I Will think about buying a Dock.

    • @BsianTech
      @BsianTech  Год назад +1

      Thanks @motomoto576 for your praise. Answering your question if you hook the WD22TB4 dock to a desktop it will just be a port replicator of USB-C/thunderbolt if you using it to convert/add more Displayports/HDMI to the onboard desktop display output then it will but I would say your better off using a non-powered port replicator to achieve the same results for cheaper cost. As for connecting the phone to the WD22TB4 it will work as I have tested this and being honest here it is a bit shaky I would say about 50% of the time it will detect the external monitors connected to the dock via the android phone. I had to unplug and re-plug the dock to the phone until it will recognise the monitor through the dock (this would be regardless if the monitor was connected HDMI or Displayport or USB-C/thunderbolt) again cheaper and better option is to get a non-powered port replicator. As for the charging the phone it won't kill your phone the phone these days are smart enough to manage the power delivery to charge it battery. Also the WD22TB4 USB-C cable encoded protocol support to tell device what to step up or down the power delivery.

Find the Intel Thunderbolt software from the Windows system tray (near the clock on the taskbar). Right click on the Thunderbolt icon and select View Attached Devices, Find the WD22TB and Approve Attached Devices. Hopefully once that is done it should be working straight off.

      You need to connect the second monitor to the thunderbolt port on the WD22TB4 (located on the back of the module section of the dock), you will have to use a convertor of HDMI to USB-C or DP to USB-C for the second monitor if it doesn't have USB-C natively.
