Hi,
Is the docking station Dell WD19 K20A compatible with the MacbookPro 14-inch 2023 M2 Pro? I just get the Macbook and want to use it with the docking station I already have for daily work. I mean if there will be any negative effects or combination of those two devices is safe to use?
MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 2023)
For a Mac to support up to TWO displays on ONE port out of the Mac, the port, the cable, and the first device you connect (Dock or Display) MUST be genuine Thunderbolt devices. USB-C has only half the data pathways of Thunderbolt, so it is not supported on a Mac for multiple DISPLAYS.
So if you though you could connect TWO displays using this USB-C Dock, forgetaboutit.
Otherwise, is is a perfectly ordinary Dock.

yes, that's right.
Users who connect a second display expecting it work work find it can only provide EXACTLY the same picture on the second dock-connected display.
My recollection is that it uses a common chip for its Ethernet, so it is likely to be supported without a kerfuffle.
You shouldn't use it with MacBook Pro. I've heard several issues using Dell WD19 K20A with MacBook Pro.
can you share some more info? What were the symptoms?
So if I would use only one display then nothing bad would happen yep?
Thank you for help!
