WD19TB dock - connect 2x FHD + 1x 4K monitor
Hello,
I am planning to buy the WD19TB dock for work.
Will the dock support 2x FHD + 1x 4K monitors without any problems?
Will the refresh rate remain 60 Hz or less?
Can I connect it to other Windows laptops as well (like Asus) and not just to my Dell laptop?
And most important, I hope it will extend the displays and not mirror them?
Thanks in advance for any help.

No one can answer without knowing the exact system models and whether they have Thunderbolt support. Note that the vast majority of systems with Intel GPUs can drive a maximum of three simultaneous displays, so running three externals will mean disabling the internal display screen.

@ejn63 The answer should be simple for somebody who knows the capabilities of the dock.
I did not ask what my laptops are able to do, I asked what the dock is able to support.
Can it support 3x 4K - obviously not, can it support 3x FHD - it can, but can it support my specific requirement - that has to be answered.

And in order to answer that correctly, the system matters as much as the docking station. If you connect it to a system that can handle the monitors, most likely yes. If you connect it to an Inspiron 3000 or Latitude 3000 series, no.
