  1. Support for Dynamic Resolution Switching Based on Active Display in DisplayLink Manager

    Currently, DisplayLink Manager maintains a fixed resolution across all connected displays, regardless of which display is active. This limitation can lead to suboptimal Steal Brainrot Game visual experiences, especially when using high-resolution monitors for detailed tasks and lower-resolution monitors for general use.

    Proposed Feature:

    Implement dynamic resolution switching in DisplayLink Manager, where the resolution of each connected display adjusts automatically based on its usage. For instance:

    When a high-resolution monitor is the primary display, it operates at its native resolution.

    Secondary monitors adjust to lower resolutions when not in use, conserving system resources.

    Benefits:

    Improved performance and responsiveness, particularly on…

  2. MacMini M1 with 11.2.2 (Bigsur) Displaylink not working

    Working with a Mac Mini M1 with Bigsur installed (11.2.2) with Displaylink 1.3 without success.
    The system works well with 2 monitors. I've tried several combinations: Using one hub and even using the USB-C port from a Blackmagic Ultrastudio mini. All connections from the Hub work (if only two monitors connected). Experimented with many different monitors and adapters USB-C -> VGA / USB-C -> HDMI / USB-C -> DVI. The displaylink is approved in the Privacy Settings (recording and acessibility).
    Tried also installing displaylink on a macbook intel and it seems that it does not work also. Although macbook intel …

  3. Add firmware / version information to the Dock Management Tool

    While the firmware update is Silent, in large scale deployments it would be useful to know / be able to report on the Firmware version.
    This would enable admins to rule-out old firmware as the cause of faults and detect where an older client is still in use.

    If this information is readily available it could be added as another command in the Dock Management Tool, or in the Support Info Tool

  4. Would You Like DisplayLink to Support Wireless Docking with Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7?

    Hey everyone, I’ve been thinking about how DisplayLink technology could evolve beyond wired USB and HDMI setups. With the rise of Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 offering low latency and high bandwidth, wouldn’t it be amazing if DisplayLink supported wireless docking? Imagine connecting your monitor, keyboard, and peripherals seamlessly without a single cable!

    I’m curious — do you think a wireless DisplayLink dock would be stable and fast enough for everyday productivity or even light gaming? What potential issues do you think might come up (like latency or interference)?

    Would love to hear if anyone else would be interested…

  5. Please add: Xenarc Model # 708TSU to your list of not supported devices

    my original post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/graakc/cannot_get_display_link_with_a_708tsu_monitor_to/

    But after reading your support page (which, duh, I should have done in the first place) I understand why my device is not working. Has a fricking storage device in it with the drivers.

    Please add: Xenarc Model # 708TSU to your list of not supported devices

  6. DisplayLink 'Screen Sharing' on Mac Hides All Notifications by Default

    On MacOS, "Allow notifications when mirroring or sharing the display" is turned off by default. Since DisplayLink uses the screen-sharing process for external monitors, this causes all system/app notifications to be hidden by default. A regular user might not know why this is happening or how to fix it.

    DisplayLink Manager should either warn the user upon setup or not use the Mac screen-sharing process.

    Default Notification Center Settings:

  8. Add upgrade logic to the Linux installation scripts

    I had version 1.1.62 of the Ubuntu driver installed. When I tried to install the new driver, I got errors saying the EVDI module was running and I needed to reboot to continue the installation. After reboot, I got the same error again.

    After looking into the running DisplayLinkManager process, I ended up dropping into /usr/lib/displaylink and running the install script there with the uninstall option:

    me@mine:/usr/lib/displaylink$ sudo ./displaylink-installer.sh uninstall
    DisplayLink Linux Software 1.1.62 install script called: uninstall
    Distribution discovered: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
    Uninstalling
    Removing EVDI from kernel tree, DKMS, and removing sources.
    Stopping DLM systemd service
    Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/graphical.target.wants/displaylink.service.…

  10. Dual screen setup: Laggy vertical screen +DisplayLinkUser Agent eating 100% CPU with a MBP 2019 Intel

    Hello,

    I have 2 external monitor DELL AW2721D which are QHD (2x 2560x1440p). Both are plugged using HDMI. I can't close my MacBook Pro because you don't support clamshell on Intel Based MBP (sad). It's plugged on a StarTech Dual 4k universal docking station USB-C 100W.

    One is horizontal, the other is vertical (90° rotation).
    The horizontal screen position monitor runs smooth (moving windows around, moving cursor).

    PROBLEM: the rotated monitor (90°) is extremely laggy. Even moving the mouse feels laggy.

    I've noticed that DisplayLinkUser agent is eating up to 100% of the CPU when moving a windows in that…

    DisplayLink technology doesn’t have any restriction on layout or aspect ratio. I suggest you open a technical support case with your details with tecnhical_enquiries at displaylink,com to check that you don’t hit a hardware limitation from your adapter.

  12. Seamless Multi-Monitor Profile Switching

    Allow users to save and instantly switch between display configurations (resolution, orientation, scaling, and arrangement). Perfect for users who dock and undock their laptops frequently or switch between home and office setups. Lighting plays a central role in slope rider’s 3D aesthetic, with dynamic shadows and color changes that emphasize the curvature and slope of each track.

  13. Suggestion: Improve the Multi-Display Experience

    Hello DisplayLink,

    Here are some suggestions for improvements:

    Personalized Display Profiles: Save and quickly switch between display configurations.

    Automatic Display Detection: When connecting a new display, suggest optimal settings.

    Optimized Multi-Display Performance: Reduce lag when running heavy applications.

    Hopefully, these features will make the DisplayLink experience smoother. Thanks for listening!

  14. Troubleshooting DisplayLink Performance Issues with Multiple Monitors

    Hi all,

    I’m experiencing some performance issues when using multiple monitors with DisplayLink on my setup. Everything works fine initially, but after some time, I notice significant lag and screen flickering on the extended displays. This happens primarily when I have several applications running or when I’m switching between windows frequently.

  16. Ethernet Android OTG

    I know the on board Nic doesn't work with Android. I will tell you however that if you use an OTG Android Nic and plug it into the USB port it works fine. I wonder if that will help with allowing the on board to work. Is it that it's not an OTG supported Nic. If so how could we change that?

  17. Fix Autostart DisplayLink Manager

    I tried to apply the setting for autostart for macOS, it didn't work: https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1964953-enabling-disabling-displaylink-manager-autostart-v

    I had to apply a configuration profile in Jamf with a Login Items and Managed Login Items payloads to get this to work. In the Login Items i added: /Applications/DisplayLink Manager.app/ and in Managed Login Items i added the Team Identifier: 73YQY62QM3

    Please fix the issue or updated your documentation for how to officially enable and disable autostart.

  19. Have you migrated from macOS to Linux?

    Hey I've been using a Macbook from my employer for a few years and I had many ups and downs moments with macOS. I find the standard applications really good like mail, calendar, and keynote. The performance of the M series CPU has no equal, specially for notebooks Geometry Vibes. But at the same time I'm a developer and being on Linux is also so good, the window management, being able to use Docker without a VM, and so on.

    I'm wondering if you have migrated to Linux from macOS or the other way, and how you're feeling with…
