Sitting On the Dock of the Bay

My work laptop came up on the schedule for replacement, so I figured I may as well get it done. The new laptop arrived this afternoon and I managed to get everything installed, moved over from the old machine, and ready to go. It was a triumph, I say, a triumph!

Until I hooked it up to the dock and to the monitors on my desk.

It turns out that the USB-C dock that they shipped me can't support 1920x1200 monitors. Many docks will, but not this one.

I have sent off an email asking nicely for a different dock.

We'll see how this goes.

Seems odd. Why does a USB dock care about monitor size? Is it the data rate?

Apparently, so. Maximum they support is 1920 x 1080 on this dock. Since I need 1920 x 1200, it's a bit annoying.
