Support rotation on M1 Macs
Update to enable rotation to work correctly on M1 Macs.
DisplayLink Manager 1.6 or newer (https://synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/downloads/macos) on macOS 12 Monterey now enables display rotation on Apple M1 computers (details in https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1984314 )
For issues with this new functionality, please reach out to Technical-Enquiries@Synaptics.com so the team can investigate through a technical support ticket.

I found a work around. It's not the best, but it is functional and good for my needs programing/reading etc. There is a small inconvenience with the displays switching monitors, but it only occurs when removing or adding a display after initial setup. All external monitors work in clamp-shell mode. and i have no mouse lag between monitors
The workaround
1. Connect Display link to MB port (1).
2. Connect monitor 1 (horizontal) to display link via HDMI.
3. Connect USB hub to MB port (2).
4. Connect monitor 2 (vertical) to USB hub via HDMI.
5. Connect power to MB via USB hub
6. Connect external SSD via display link
7. (optional) Connect Ipad via sidecar to MB for a third extended monitor and controller using touch screen/pencil featuresHere's a list of the equipment/systems i'm running
- MacBook Pro M1, Big Sur 11.2.2
- Ipad Pro 12.9 (2020)
- Monitor 1 (horizontal) Samsung 34-Inch SJ55W Ultra-wide
- Monitor 2 (vertical) LG 27" 27MN60T-W Class FHD IPS Monitor
- Plugable USB 3.0 and USB-C Dual 4K Display Docking Station with DisplayPort and HDMI for Windows, DisplayLink Manager 1.3.0 (Build 56.111)
- Uni USB C Hub 4K, USB Type C 6-in-1 Adapter with 4K HDMI, 100W Power Delivery, 2 USB 3.0, Micro/SD Card Readers, Thunderbolt 3 Compatible and MacSanDisk,
- SanDisk 1TB Extreme Portable SSD (1050MB/s)
- Logitech MX Keys Advanced Illuminated Wireless Keyboard for Mac
- Logitech M720 Wireless Triathlon Mouse
Hope this helps as a workaround until Apple and DisplayLink work this out.

curious when support for rotated screens will be available. Right now I am in a catch 22. I need the clamshell closed, which only works on a legacy DisplayLink driver- I have a 35" monitor which won't take the legacy resolution and can't rotate my 27" even though the resolution is OK. When do you presume this will be available?

Why is this marked as completed when it clearly doesn't work? Without this feature - display link is nearly useless for me.

+1. My experience with displaylink and the M1 has been 9/10. With screen rotation it would be 10/10
