Dell Docking Station Wd19dcs Performance

Exactly what I needed to work from home with dual monitors.

I am happy with this, but did find that the cheap DAC and ethernet USB dongles I have perform better in sound and speed respectively than the internal audio and ethernet ports on this. Was hoping to not have to use the dongles.

I purchased this to use with a Surface pro and everything worked incredibly well, I have a curved 1440p 120 hz monitor and a 4k60 monitor running off it. I didn't even think much of it until I went to play some videos from Amazon prime in the background and was limited to Standard Definition because it is not HDCP compliant. That is pretty much the dumbest limitation I have seen on a $200 professional dock. I cannot even fathom how Dell thought that should not be included. Just WOW. 3 stars off because content is basically completely limited through this if you want to watch it.

I liked the long usb-C cable and overall design. Had a bit of pain with monitor connections, but with the new DisplayLink version, all works fine (Windows 11). So far recommend it.

The product I received was not functional. Any charging cord plugged into it would automatically turn off.
