MacOS BigSur - M1 support: works great, but it would be really helpful to have the "looks like 2560x1440" option available for 4K resolution
use now a DisplayLink capable hub to use an 2nd external monitor on a M1 MacBook..
works great, but on that screen I can only choose between "Looks like 1920x1080" or the full 4K resolution - which is not really good to read on that monitor.....
Would be really great, if the "Looks like 2560x1440" resolution (scaling of UI) would be supported in one of the following updates.....
Would be great to have HiDPI support for all display resolutions the M1 Macs support for the 1st external monitor
DisplayLink Manager 1.8 Alpha is adding an alternative way of adding 2560x/3008x missing scaling modes from M1/M2 silicon.

Hi, @Alban, can you please share updates on 1440p HiDPI mode? 4K native without scaling is rarely used because the fonts are tiny.
I would be happily keeping and recommending your product if this is delivered in 2021. Frankly, if it's not going to be delivered, I would send it back to Amazon as returns.
Billy.

Based on this submission, you can best see the company's approach to its users. The problem covers an absolutely basic function of the platform and yet no one responds. This type of constraint should be resolved as P1 and all other work should be abandoned before such a problem is resolved. My $7k computer setup with a station for another $350 does not support scaling the interface to 2560x1440! This whole situation is an unsavory joke and the DisplayLink team doesn't even deign to respond to the pleas of users.
You should be ashamed of yourself as a company and privately as a person because the work you do is of little value if you abandon user supportive tool even works.

2 weeks now until my new mac arrives which supports multiple native displays. Apple created new hardware in less time than this request has been outstanding.

@okv unfortunately mine is given by the company and I cannot change so easily, therefore it would be great if they finally fixed this

Well I've fixed my M1 with displaylink problems I hope. Ordered a new Mac that will natively drive 2 displays so I can remove displaylink. Now just need to wait the month until delivery.

Hello, Anyone know how to get the real max resolution. I had a Lenovo Dock and my 2nd display only show 720 and 768 but it does support 1080p. There's any solution for that?

So looks like no forums any more. Maybe want to remove the tab from this page when you remove the information that Displaylink 1.5 was going to deliver 2560x1440 HiDPI.

Seems displaylink forums are now dead. Webserver gone.

What is the current state for M1?
v1.5 Clearly doesn't solve this, so please remove the comment about it. -

This is a really big core functionality gap. 1.5 clearly doesn’t address for m1 platform. Can we have an update if this is planned for a future sprint?

@Yo Han Hong, if your monitor is native 2560*1440 you can try Display Menu to force it to 2560*1440. However if do this on a 4K display, it's really fuzzy.
