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

shared this idea
DisplayLink Manager 1.8 Alpha is adding an alternative way of adding 2560x/3008x missing scaling modes from M1/M2 silicon.

@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.

Can we remove the notes about DisplayLink Manager 1.5 beta 2 adding new modes because the topic is M1 and the 1.5 release did not deliver this on M1. Seems out of place completely.

well looks like a bit more wait to get a new M1 to get dual displays. ;(

Think the response here is that this request will never be fulfilled either because of Apple issues or Displaylink issues. Close to a year after the request so looks like its never going to happen. Just waiting and hoping the m1x has 2 display support to remove the need for this 3rd party use.
