DisplayLink is lagging on Macos Sonoma
As soon as I connect my single 1080p display to my M1 Mac the whole system starts to lag, the mouse, the animations and the funny thing is that this is not only on the extended display but on both. Plus one thing that I noticed is that if I shut the lid of my mac and only use the external display the system is smooth again. I think an M1 Air should at minimum handle a 4k extended display.
Note: I have tried the Alpha build for the manager and it's still awful.
6 votes1.10 Alpha 2 is now available on the website to correct this on macOS Sonoma advanced beta. Please use any release from 1.10 Alpha 2 onwards.

Silent uninstall of Windows DisplayLink Driver 7.7 M4 without rebooting computers?
How can I silently uninstall the DisplayLink_7.7.M4.exe application? I am packaging the software for Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 SP1 Configuration Manager, I set the uninstall string to "MsiExec.exe /X{099F2D54-39A8-470C-A3DA-E2F123F5A6D7} /NORESTART /qn Reboot=ReallySuppress" but the computers are still rebooting. Any ideas on how to silently uninstall it without causing a reboot?
1 voteThe reason a reboot is needed is that the DisplayLink graphics driver is uninstalled. It is not possible to complete a graphic driver uninstall on Windows without rebooting the system. This is a Windows restriction.

Create a working support contact address
Although I got a response to my question from Kaisa/Kate K requesting more details, the sender address is broken when I try to respond - I just get an error from MS 365 and hence can not reach her with the details!

Addressing DisplayLink Challenges on Mac Mini M4
As a tech enthusiast, I believe that the integration of DisplayLink technology with the Mac Mini M4 presents both opportunities and challenges. While DisplayLink offers the ability to connect multiple monitors and enhance productivity, users often encounter issues such as driver compatibility, screen flickering, and resolution limitations. These challenges can hinder the overall user experience, particularly for professionals relying on seamless multi-display setups.
In my opinion, Apple should prioritize better support for DisplayLink in future macOS updates to ensure smoother functionality and greater user satisfaction. Improved collaboration between DisplayLink and Apple could lead to a…

Ubuntu drivers eating a lot of CPU. Not always but at least 50% of the times
I have actually a very slow PC because of this:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
1541 root 20 0 2343424 51804 2624 S 111.9 1.4 198:49.14 DisplayLinkMana
in other words, DisplayLinkMana(ger) eats a lot of CPU. from 50 to more than 100%sometimes not.
I think this is an issue, that should be fixed.
Thank you.

Night shift and True tone on macOs
I think it's a big miss not to have Night shift and True tone.
For those who have an external monitor without a brightness sensor or want the same colors as the internal monitor.
Working at night is difficult without this feature.Please add support for these functions for MacOs

to integrate a PAUSE function into your firmware, that freezes the displayed content anc can eb activated/de-activated by keyboard.
Freeze functions on classical projectors were very popular, in particular for people facilitating workshops or holding seminars. With the introduction of LCD screens this feature disappeared. Display link could easily re-introduce this. Ideally, hitting a (user-definable) key combination would turn PAUSE on and off. In addition the status (frozen / unfrozen) should be displayed with the application icon.
Please go ahead :-)

Add Debian support in general. As most Linux distros are based on Debian that would make your tech work on most Linux distros.
You don't have to reinvent the wheel: https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian
That also would make it easy for Deepin Linux to adapt the drivers. Deepin is Linux distro #1 in China! Just think: Deepin + Lenovo (Thinkpad)

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.

DisplayLink Problem in Windows 11: No External Monitor Found
I recently updated my laptop to Windows 11, and I've been connecting numerous displays with a DisplayLink docking station. On Windows 10, everything was operating smoothly, but now one of my external monitors is completely unrecognized.
What I've attempted so far is as follows:
updated the DisplayLink driver from the official Space Waves 2 website until it was installed again.
installed the most recent cumulative update for Windows 11.
examined all of the wires and USB-C and HDMI connectors.
restarted the laptop and docking station several times.
While other monitors attached to the same dock function properly,…

It is possible to use product relying on the DisplayLink DL-6950 ICs before the OS loads provided the UEFI BIOS includes, or the pre-OS side loads, the DisplayLink UEFI GOP driver. The driver is available to all laptop manufacturers. We encourage you to ask for this functionality from your laptop vendor so they inbox it.

Question About MacBook Display Behavior
My MacBook works wonderfully overall, but I’ve noticed something odd. When I connect it to my external monitor, the scaling sometimes looks a bit off and certain apps don’t fit the screen perfectly. It’s not a big issue since everything still functions well, but it would be great if this could be improved in a future update. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a fix on the way? Wishing you all the best!
