add wireless charging to docking stations
Would be nice if docking stations like "HP USB-C/A Universal Dock G2" would include a wireless charging pad. So that you can charge your phone/etc on top of the docking station.

Does DisplayLink support macOS / Windows / Linux?
DisplayLink has good support on both Windows and macOS, allowing users to easily connect multiple displays via USB. For Linux, DisplayLink support is also available, but often requires manual configuration and can be more limited depending on the distribution and driver.

Ubuntu driver 5.3.1 bug
You should correct the Ubuntu driver to create the support frame buffer /dev/fb1
In the last version 5.3.1 installed in Ubuntu 20.04 it's not created.
Without the /dev/fb1 is not possible to set up a multihead system with loginctl.1 vote -
True HDR & 10-bit Color with Per-Monitor ICC Color Management (Windows / macOS / Linux/Wayland)
Please add full HDR (HDR10/HLG) and 10-bit color support to DisplayLink pipelines, with per-monitor ICC color management across Windows, macOS, and Linux/Wayland. Today many DisplayLink setups are effectively SDR/8-bit, leading to banding and inaccurate colors for creators and analysts. Proposed capabilities: (1) end-to-end 10-bit path with HDR metadata passthrough and correct EDID handling; (2) OS-level integration so each DisplayLink monitor can use its own ICC profile (including factory LUTs); (3) a simple on/off toggle with automatic SDR↔HDR switching and safe fallback; (4) minimal added latency and no reduction of max resolution/refresh vs current support. This would unlock accurate color work…

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.

what logs/debugs are you willing to share that need to be collected to support DisplayLink engineering from the front end?
When deploying DisplayLink-enabled docks to over 200 Windows 11 PCs in an enterprise environment (with multiple 4K monitors, USB–C PD, and 802.1x networking), how do you ensure that: (1) the DisplayLink driver is always automatically updated and compatible with different GPU/host controller versions; (2) any changes from 802.1x policy or from dock firmware updates do not cause the device to lose display connection or become “no signal”; (3) there is a quick fix when some machines report “USB device not recognized” or “DisplayLink device lost video signal” without having to reinstall the entire driver or replace the dock – and…

Enable automatic driver updates to occur whether or not a dock is connected.
I manage a large Windows 10 client environment, and we prioritize keeping drivers up to date. Ideally, I want the latest driver for a DisplayLink (DL) dock to be installed automatically whenever I connect to it. However, from what I understand, this isn’t the current behavior.
Currently, when a computer connects to a DL dock, the driver activates automatically. If Windows Update runs and driver updates are enabled, it will update the DL driver—assuming a newer version is available.
I imagine a scenario where I could bypass Windows Update entirely. Why can’t I configure the system to check for driver…

Enable visual accessibility settings for partially sighted users
Both Windows & macOS have tools for applying colour filters to a screen to enable partially sighted users better access to these devices.
These settings are enforced on monitors directly connected to theses devices and were previously supported on prior versions of DisplayLink when using a Mac but are not working currently.
Is there a plan to leverage the built-in OS tools to enable this in the future?

DisplayLink does not design, manufacture or sell any end product, we are a semiconductor company. To discuss hardware replacement, please contact the manufacturer of the units.

Please make a disclaimer for Video Editors. Thanks!!
usb 3.0 to hdmi on Mac OS 10.14 makes the external monitor image considerably darker. It is unusable for editing as the image is drastically compromised and does not represent the true output.
1 voteThe device you are using today does not do colour correction, nor does it change brightness or contrast. I recommend you change the settings of the display itself.

DisplayLink Issues After macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 Update
After upgrading to macOS Sequoia 15.4.1, I noticed that DisplayLink Manager no longer works as expected. External monitors connected via DisplayLink are not being detected, and the DisplayLink Manager app either fails to launch properly or shows no connected displays.
Before the update, everything was working normally with the same hardware and configuration. I’ve already tried the usual steps such as restarting the system, reinstalling the latest version of DisplayLink Manager, and re-granting permissions under Privacy & Security (Screen Recording, Accessibility, and Input Monitoring), but without success.
It seems likely that the 15.4.1 update introduced changes that affect DisplayLink drivers…

Hi everyone
Hi everyone, I'm facing a persistent and difficult multi-factor issue with DisplayLink Manager on my Mac that
seems to involve macOS security features, driver behavior, and potential USB host controller compatibility. I’ve boiled it down to the points below and would appreciate any deep diagnostics or testing ideas:
Environments tested:
• macOS Sequoia 15.x and Tahoe 16.x on Apple Silicon (M1/M3 Snow Rider 2) — similar symptoms across both.
• Multiple docks (USB-C and Thunderbolt variants).
• Dual / triple monitor setups via DisplayLink.
Is there an official Apple-signed entitlement bundle or kext requirement (beyond Screen Recording) for persistent…1 vote -
Repeatedly disconnecting and reconnecting (STILL)
I'm running an ASUS ROG G56jk-EB72 Gaming Laptop with the latest version of Windows 10 (As of 11/12/2015) 64-Bit. CPU: Intel (R) HD Graphics 4600 & GPU: Nvidea GeForce GTX 850M. Trying to project onto two additional Insignia displays using two Targus USB 3.0 to HDMI HDTV Video Adapter. So I spent about $300 for the displays and $160 on the video adapters and this doesn't even work. I am beyond frustrated. All of my drivers are up to date. I followed the steps as instructed by the troubleshooting page; "How to fix your DisplayLink product from repeatedly disconnecting…

stop update the displaylink driver automatically
My surface pro connect a USB displaylink to external monitor, however, the driver version 7.9M3 & 7.9M4 have problems to display correctly with some web sites, for example, http://www.ifeng.com when browsed by Microsoft Edge. The driver version 7.9M0 has no such problem. I tried to reinstall version 7.9 M0 several times, but it keeps update it to 7.9M4 stupidly! Suggest: reminds users of the new version driver available, let user decide if he/she wants to upgrade it! It's really stupid to update automatically without
1 voteIt’s not “stupid” but necessary due to changes in Intel graphics drivers your machine uses. We do not put any update in Windows Update as critical unless we absolutely have to.
Please create a support ticket with your log files so we can investigate your particular case. Details on support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/544810-how-can-i-report-windows-installation-issues-to-di

touchscreen support
The screen connected to my displaylink device (Toshiba dynadock) is touchscreen capable. It works beautifully with my Windows laptops but when I connect my Nexus android tablet to the dynadock, the touchscreen capabilities of my screen are ignored.
2 votesThe touch screen controllers are separate from DisplayLink and there is no touch screen technology built into our ICs.
Touch screen support is enabled by customers integrating DisplayLink and a touch screen controller into the same product.
This means that the drivers for the touch screen controller differ between products and are not part of the DisplayLink driver.
For touch support on Android, the touch screen drivers would need to be integrated into the Android OS, and this is not something DisplayLink can do as we do not own the OS on phones or tablets.
