I have the same question - I just received my T550 today, got the Pro dock, and I am waiting on a 3440x1440 monitor. Hoping that everything works...

My model has a FHD screen.

I am currently using an external UHD monitor via the mini Display port and everything is working fine.

My Intel HD 5500 driver version is 10.18.14.4029.
