P159 / Dock and display connections / Guide

Read a dock resolution table without guessing

Physical outputs, rendering engines, exact models and observed requirements are separate evidence.

The useful distinction

Read the model suffix, labeled output and exact monitor input.

Claim inspection dates: 2026-10-03 · Independent review pending

Guide note · not an individual product specification

The useful distinction

Understand the requirement.

Transport, output combination and graphics evidence choose the row. [C159A]

The Latitude 7440 external-port page does not establish a complete SKU-specific GPU display budget. [C159B]

Bounded facts, visible unknowns

Specifications and limits

Read a dock resolution table without guessing facts and limitations
Workflow boundaryOne host, one dock, direct independent display paths only. [C159A] [C159B]
Verified device listNot included. Check exact device and accessory documentation.
A boundary, not an omission to guess around.

Matching a recorded mode combination means the requested scenario appears in the inspected table under the stated conditions. It does not measure signal integrity, monitor timing, graphics allocation or bandwidth.

Before you connect

What to check

  1. Identify host, dock and monitor models.
  2. Keep native, software and shared-resource findings separate.
  3. Record the unknowns before preparing a report.

Missing rows stay unknown

A combination absent from the curated table is unassessed, not necessarily unsupported. The tool does not extrapolate higher refresh rates or assume that every lower timing is valid.

Separate software and native video

Native link-table arithmetic is not used as a proxy for DisplayLink performance. Mixed docks need evidence for both engines, with no sum of marketing maxima.

Your next step

Move from the form to the requirement.
