Dell supports current and previous dock families for the exact Latitude 5550, including a practical WD19S two-screen route, with configuration-specific charging caveats.

For Dell Latitude 5550, choose WD22TB4 or current WD25TB4 / SD25TB4 for a supported Thunderbolt path, or WD25 for a simpler current USB-C desk. WD19 / WD19S with the 180 W supply is the strongest documented legacy choice: Dell's dock table gives two Full HD 60 Hz displays on an HBR2 link, two QHD60 on HBR3, and dual 4K60 only with HBR3 plus DSC. Those are dock/link ceilings, not a promise for every Latitude 5550 configuration. Dell documents 60 W, 65 W and 100 W computer adapters, so the 90 W-delivery WD19/S 130 W package, UD22 and HD22Q retain charging-capacity warnings. WD19DC/DCS must use one host lead only.
Dell's refreshed exact-model row supports these Thunderbolt options, and the computer provides two Thunderbolt 4 ports with DisplayPort and Power Delivery.
Check first: Connect one supplied host cable directly. Check the selected dock's output map; the matrix does not certify a particular two-, three- or four-screen desk.
Dell supports this exact pairing and publishes its combined display table, making two DisplayPort screens a documented reuse path.
Check first: Begin with two Full HD 60 Hz screens. Higher combined modes require the applicable HBR3 or HBR3-plus-DSC path, which must be confirmed for the actual configuration.
WD25 is a current exact-supported USB-C option with up to 100 W; WD19DC/DCS is also listed for existing fleets.
Check first: For WD19DC/DCS, use one host cable only and do not expect its 210 W dual-cable mode. Verify delivered power against the computer's adapter configuration.
Go to the documented exact setup
Still unknown: The exact HBR and DSC path, installed processor/graphics option, monitor EDID, mixed resolution and refresh combination, cable condition, present BIOS and dock firmware, sleep/wake behavior and field reliability remain unknown. Dell's matrix and display table are manufacturer documentation, not a Connect Your Dock hardware test.

Use the exact dock and power supply named below. These are documentation-based starting arrangements, not hardware tests or a guarantee of combined screen modes.
Windows 11; exact named model and dock configuration. Other operating systems and hardware variants are outside this route review.
Before connecting: Conditional wiring example only: verify the exact host link and display table before using both screens. Start with two Full HD 60 Hz DisplayPort monitors; this is not a tested desk configuration.
Still needs confirmation: Exact monitor combination, firmware, sleep/wake and charging under your workload remain unverified.
