Hello DisplayLink Support Team and Community,
I am a software developer utilizing a multi-monitor setup powered by DisplayLink (DL-6xxx series). While the overall experience is great, I would like to propose an optimization (or inquire about a workaround) regarding UI responsiveness in IDEs (Visual Studio/JetBrains) when hardware acceleration is active.
Current Setup:
OS: Windows 11 Pro (Build 22631)
DisplayLink Driver: v11.x (Latest)
Hardware: [Insert your Docking Station model]
Monitors: 2x 4K Monitors at 60Hz
The Goal/Ideal: I am looking for a way to prioritize "latency over throughput" specifically for text-heavy applications. In high-DPI environments, there is a slight "input lag" when scrolling through thousands of lines of code or using heavy plugins like Visual Assist/ReSharper.
My Questions / Suggestions:
Direct Flip / MPO Support: Are there plans to improve Multi-Plane Overlay (MPO) compatibility to reduce the composition overhead on the secondary displays?
Selective Refresh: Is there a registry tweak or a setting in the DisplayLink Manager to prioritize the refresh rate of the "active window" area to ensure zero-lag typing?
Legacy Header Handling: Does the current compression algorithm handle static text-based UI differently than video content to save CPU cycles?
I believe improving the "snappiness" for professional workstations would make DisplayLink the undisputed choice for developers.
Looking forward to your insights or any beta driver suggestions.
Best regards,
