3 Monitor Support on Chrome OS
As DisplayLink support is not embedded in the ChromeOS 51 build and later, you should add 3+ monitor support for ChromeOS. At this point someone would only be able to run it off of a Chromebook/Chromebox with higher ram (8-16GB+). But adding this support would mean A LOT more business use cases being satisfied.
1 voteDisplayLink imposes no limit on the number of DisplayLink enabled displays that can be connected on Chrome OS from R51 onwards.
Any limitations found will be OS restrictions rather than something added by DisplayLink.

I need to switch back and forth between two computers and am wondering if I can do so using the same Display Link set up? Has anyone tried

Fix the Linux driver so that it doesn't use 5-15% CPU when my DisplayLink device is _unplugged_.
When unplugged, I consistently (and continuously, not just short spikes) see the DisplayLinkManager process take up 5-15% CPU. I don't understand why it's using so much CPU when there's literally nothing for it to do. It's really hurting my battery life & performance.

TrayIcon should always display if installed
Suggestion: The DisplayLink Manager TrayIcon should show even if the hardware is not detected. In that case, it should provide links to helpful KB articles (or better yet, include the troubleshooting steps offline).
That would have saved me about three hours of troubleshooting a 3rd-party (LizTek) product before I finally stumbled on this site.

HI, Let customers decide WHEN to install new drivers. (Automatic driver update messes up my 4 + 1 monitor trading station.) Thanks.
(the automatic updates re-arrange and resize everything on my screens causing me headache. The driver should be updater when no windows left opened / programmes running.)
1 vote8.0+ will cause the software update to happen over the next reboot, rather than immediately while you are working.

Problem with new version 7.9M3 - Office Protected View
I encountered a Problem with the new version 7.9M3 when opening Office documents from remote Location. I had to remove the "Protected view" functionality or alternatively store the document first on the local drive to be able to open the Office document.
26 votesYou can download our latest version (7.9 M4) which fixes the Office protected view bug from http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/sla.php?fileid=177
Thank you for your patience whilst we did the testing.

Use secondary graphics adapter for rendering as well
Laptops with two graphics adapters (Intel HD + dedicated) would highly benefit, if DisplayLink would render the data with the stronger graphics adapter as well.
30 votesThis idea has been surpassed by the architecture update now available for DisplayLink in Windows 10 Anniversary update. The OS now has an interface for DisplayLink graphics to use the GPUs, and DissplayLink no longer has control over the GPU it can use.
This either makes the idea “complete” or “declined”. I’m marking “complete” assuming the OS now does this for the DisplayLink driver.

Windows 10 with 7.9M3 (Yoga 900)
When windows 10 with 7.9M3 on a yoga 900 goes to sleep and is connected to the dock, it doesn't come back.
Also, if I unplug the dock when the laptop sleeps, when I wake it up nothing works anymore.

Don't require drivers to be installed for disabled display adapters
I have a machine with an integrated display adapter and a PCI adapter running Windows 10. The integrated controller is not supported by Windows 10 and I have disabled it using device manager (I don't have an option to disable it in BIOS). When I attempt to install the DisplayLink core software, it re-enables the disabled adapter and then tells me it cannot install the software because there are no drivers for the adapter that I had disabled.
2 votesThis is implemented on Windows 10 Anniversary Update onwards.

Bring back the forum link under Driver Downloads.
This product poses difficulties on nearly all platforms and your users need a place to discuss this and collaborate. Your attempt to remove the forums (that still exist at http://www.displaylink.org/forum/) has not gone unnoticed, and at face value appears to be a step in the wrong direction.
From the top of this page: "However members of the DisplayLink team are active on the DisplayLink Forum, where your question may already be answered."

Can you fix the issue with dual graphics cards?
I have had a problem with your displaylink products for months now, it's causing my entire OS to hand. It seems I'm not the only one, I found the below forum post showing multiple people have the same issue.
http://www.displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=63963I've tried cleanups, reinstalling the latest drivers and all I could think of. The only way I can get the system to stop crashing is if I always reboot my PC right after I disconnect display link each and every time which is ridiculous. I wouldn't buy a laptop if I wanted to reboot 5 times a day.
There is…

Support Windows 10 Mobile Continuum
In the MS world, Disply Link support is good when running Windows on a laptop or a tablet. When it comes to Windows phones. it is the opposite: nothing, nada.
Ask Microsoft, They are so in need of trendy feature to boost their market share in mobile phone business, I am ready to bet they would finance the development.
83 votesA driver for Continuum was done and demonstrated. However, for phones, it will need your phone manufacturer to integrate the driver as the phone does not behave like a desktop Windows.
