  1. DisplayLink not working properly with MacBook Pro M3

    Hello,

    I’m fairly new to macOS and just got a MacBook Pro M3 this week.

    I’ve connected it to my Dell D6000 docking station using USB-C, which is hooked up to two external monitors (one via HDMI, one via DisplayPort). I’ve already installed the DisplayLink Manager app and enabled the Screen Recording permission, but my external displays only work after I log in — there’s no image at the login screen.

    Has anyone else run into this issue or found a workaround?

  2. Advanced USB DisplayLink deployment with mixed GPU environments (Intel + NVIDIA + DisplayLink) – driver conflicts and performance tuning

    Hello DisplayLink Support team,
    I am deploying a DisplayLink-based docking station system for a large enterprise environment (approximately 300+ users) using laptops with mixed GPUs (Intel iGPU and NVIDIA dGPU).
    During the deployment, I encountered complex issues related to:
    Driver conflicts:
    When the laptop switches between Intel and NVIDIA GPUs (e.g., when turning on/off the dGPU or changing performance modes), DisplayLink monitors sometimes lose signal or flicker for 1–2 seconds.
    Some docking devices (Dell D6000, Targus DOCK190) require DisplayLink Manager and NVIDIA Control Panel to be installed in parallel, but after updating the GPU driver, the video performance dropped dramatically.…

  3. Auto-Adjust Resolution When Docking

    It would be great if DisplayLink could automatically detect and apply the preferred resolution and scaling settings for each connected monitor when docking or undocking a laptop. This would save time and ensure consistent display quality across setups.

  4. Support for Dynamic Resolution Switching Based on Active Display in DisplayLink Manager

    Currently, DisplayLink Manager maintains a fixed resolution across all connected displays, regardless of which display is active. This limitation can lead to suboptimal Steal Brainrot Game visual experiences, especially when using high-resolution monitors for detailed tasks and lower-resolution monitors for general use.

    Proposed Feature:

    Implement dynamic resolution switching in DisplayLink Manager, where the resolution of each connected display adjusts automatically based on its usage. For instance:

    When a high-resolution monitor is the primary display, it operates at its native resolution.

    Secondary monitors adjust to lower resolutions when not in use, conserving system resources.

    Benefits:

    Improved performance and responsiveness, particularly on…

  8. Recommendation: Optimized support for 4K and 5K displays

    Hello DisplayLink,

    I would like to suggest improving the performance and stability when using 4K or 5K displays via DisplayLink connection, especially when running multiple displays or graphics-heavy applications.

    This will help the experience be smoother and take full advantage of the high resolution of modern displays.

    Thanks to the DisplayLink team for listening to your feedback!

  9. Add official NFR (Not For Resale) license option for partners and testers

    It would be helpful if DisplayLink offered an NFR license program for partners, reviewers, and developers. This would make testing and showcasing products easier without needing a full commercial license.

  10. what logs/debugs are you willing to share that need to be collected to support DisplayLink engineering from the front end?

    When deploying DisplayLink-enabled docks to over 200 Windows 11 PCs in an enterprise environment (with multiple 4K monitors, USB–C PD, and 802.1x networking), how do you ensure that: (1) the DisplayLink driver is always automatically updated and compatible with different GPU/host controller versions; (2) any changes from 802.1x policy or from dock firmware updates do not cause the device to lose display connection or become “no signal”; (3) there is a quick fix when some machines report “USB device not recognized” or “DisplayLink device lost video signal” without having to reinstall the entire driver or replace the dock – and…

  11. Have you migrated from macOS to Linux?

    Hey I've been using a Macbook from my employer for a few years and I had many ups and downs moments with macOS. I find the standard applications really good like mail, calendar, and keynote. The performance of the M series CPU has no equal, specially for notebooks Geometry Vibes. But at the same time I'm a developer and being on Linux is also so good, the window management, being able to use Docker without a VM, and so on.

  12. Need Help: Screen Flickering Error with Windows 11 and Docking Station

    I am having an annoying issue with the external monitor randomly flickering when using a DisplayLink splitter.

    This happens intermittently but more frequently when I have resource-intensive applications open or I am screen sharing via Zoom.

    The second external monitor (or both external monitors block blast) occasionally flickers (turns off and on for 1-2 seconds) and then automatically recovers. The frequency is 5-10 times per hour.
    Usually occurs when the CPU/GPU is under heavy load or when performing graphics tasks.

  13. Issue with DisplayLink on Windows 11 – External Monitor Not Detected

    I recently upgraded my laptop to Windows 11 and have been using a DisplayLink docking station to connect multiple monitors. Everything worked fine on Windows 10, but now one of my external monitors is not being detected at all.

    Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

    Reinstalled the latest DisplayLink driver from the official space waves website

    Updated Windows 11 to the latest cumulative update

    Checked all cables and connections (HDMI & USB-C)

    Restarted the docking station and laptop multiple times

    The monitor still shows “No Signal,” while other connected monitors via the same dock work fine.

    Has anyone else experienced…

  14. DisplayLink dock

    Hi everyone, I’ve been using a DisplayLink dock daily as part of a mixed workflow where I switch between a lightweight laptop for travel and a more permanent dual-monitor setup at home, and while the system works reliably overall, I’ve noticed a couple of areas where it could evolve to fit real-world use even better. In my case, I bounce between coding, video calls, and occasional gaming, and each activity needs a different combination of refresh rates, resolutions, and monitor arrangements, but every time I reconnect, I end up manually fixing orientations, scaling, and performance settings. I’d love to see…

  15. Can DisplayLink add per-monitor color calibration support?

    I’m wondering: Is it possible for future DisplayLink wheelie life drivers to support per-monitor color calibration (ICC profiles) so each DisplayLink-connected screen can use its own accurate color profile?
    Thanks!

  18. I think the honeymoon phase has ended. The issues I'm having with my Mac Mini M4

    Hey guys!

    First of all, I have to say I love the performance of my base model Mac Mini M4. It’s fast, takes up minimal space on my desk, and runs Adobe apps better than any Windows machine I’ve ever had — even those with 32GB of RAM.

    But I’m having some issues that are driving me nuts.
    First, my monitors: I have a 144Hz monitor that only works at 60Hz — if I try 144Hz, it keeps flashing on and off. I’ve tried different cables (HDMI to DisplayPort, 8K HDMI, etc.), but no luck. My second monitor is connected…

  19. Please Add an Option to Disable or Customize the DisplayLink On-Screen Display (OSD)

    I would like to request a new feature regarding the on-screen display (OSD) messages that appear when connecting or disconnecting DisplayLink devices. These pop-ups can be distracting, especially during presentations, screen recordings, or when switching between workspaces.

    Details / Concerns:

    Could you please add an option in the DisplayLink Manager to disable the OSD notifications entirely?

    Alternatively, the ability to customize the OSD (position, transparency, duration, or size) would be extremely helpful.

    Many users find the current OSD intrusive, and having control over it would significantly improve the user experience.

    This feature would benefit professionals who require a clean visual…

  20. Add Per-Monitor Color Calibration and Gamma Controls in DisplayLink Manager

    I would like to request the addition of per-monitor color adjustment controls within the DisplayLink Manager software. Many users work with multiple monitors—often from different brands—and notice mismatched brightness, gamma, or color temperature when using DisplayLink adapters.

    Details / Reasons for the Request:

    Currently, users rely on built-in monitor menus, which are often limited, inconsistent, or difficult to configure precisely.

    Some monitors connected through DisplayLink cannot be calibrated properly due to hardware limitations.

    Adding software-side controls for:

    Brightness

    Contrast

    Gamma

    Color temperature

    RGB gain/balance

    would greatly improve multi-monitor color consistency.

    This feature would be especially valuable for designers, video editors,…
