Precision 3561 (integrated graphics) with WD19TBS: resolution too low on 2nd monitor
Hi community,
I recently bought a precision 3561 laptop. 11th generation I7 inside. It has *NO* extra graphics card.
It runs windows 11.
If I connect my EIZO flexscan with resolution 1920x1200 to the HDMI port of my laptop, it works great.
The monitor is recognized and its driven in the optimal resolution.
But, if I connect the monitor to the HDMI port of my (also new) WD19TBS, the monitor gets a maximum resolution of 1920x1080, making the screen very ugly.
I updated the firmware of both my laptop and my dock, but same result.
Contacted Dell technical support, but the only answer was: it should work...
The send me this link https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/nl-nl/000130291/dell-thunderbolt-dockingstation-wd19tb-wd19tbs-gebruiken-en-problemen-oplossen
The bios layout of my laptop is a bit different, but I followed as good as possible.
Installing the thunderbolt drivers failed.
From Thunderbolt™_Software_20220202185518.log:

Can somebody give me pointers how to diagnose what is wrong?

Finally got the solution myself.
Apparently the HDMI port on the WD19TBS is limited to 1920x1080.
I bought a good displayport cable and connected the monitor via displayport. And voila...
Side note: never got Dell's Thunderbolt driver installed. But the installed driver is good enough. Meaning: in my case it worked out of the box
