WD19, U3419W, U2414H, full resolution support?
Hi,
How do I go about setting up the two monitors I have (UW3419 and U2414H) with the WD19 dock I have with their respective native resolutions.
Currently, I have the U3419W connected via USB-C and the U2414H via the Display port behind the dock.
The U2414H will be in portrait mode so I can read PDF and terminal session with ease.
No Events found!

@kindrudekid You might not have enough display bandwidth available to run both of those displays at their native resolution through a regular WD19, assuming you'd want the standard 60 Hz on both displays. You didn't specify what system you're using (always a good idea to provide basic technical info when asking for technical assistance), but if your system only support DisplayPort 1.2/HBR2 over USB-C, you definitely won't be able to run those two displays at 60 Hz. DP 1.2/HBR2 systems when connected to a USB-C dock that sets up the USB-C link to also support USB 3.0 only get 2 lanes of HBR2, which is enough for a single 1440p 60 Hz display or dual 1080p 60 Hz displays. The single 1440p display scenario MIGHT allow 3440x1440 60 Hz (not sure because documentation doesn't typically cover ultrawide resolutions), but 3440x1440 and 1080p together would be too much. If your system supported DisplayPort 1.4/HBR3 over USB-C, then you should have enough bandwidth for that setup. Two lanes of HBR3 is enough bandwidth for 4K 60 Hz, and a single 4K display is actually slightly more total pixels than 3440x1440 + 1080p.

Were you able to get 60hz on the ultrawide monitor through the dock?
