  2. 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?

  3. Automatic Refresh Rate Optimization for Multi-Monitor Setups

    I’d love to see a feature that allows DisplayLink to automatically detect and optimize refresh rates for each connected display. This would make multi-monitor setups smoother, reduce screen tearing, and improve overall performance — especially for users who switch between work and gaming environments.

  4. Auto-Adjust Resolution When Docking

    It would be great if DisplayLink could automatically detect and apply the preferred resolution and scaling settings for each connected monitor when docking or undocking a laptop. This would save time and ensure consistent display quality across setups.

  6. Adaptive Refresh Rate Optimization

    Introduce automatic refresh rate adjustment based on the connected display’s capabilities and the system’s workload. This would reduce latency during gaming or video playback while conserving power during idle or low-motion use. Overall, geometry dash is a brilliantly designed game that combines rhythm, timing, and precision into a challenging yet highly rewarding experience that keeps players coming back for more.

    Driver issues with OS 26 with M2 - Constant screen refresh when returning from Standby when laptop is closed

    I even did a complete reinstall by erasing the entire OS and rolling back My MacBook Pro M2 from OS 26.2 to 26.1

    I tried all of these models on the following computers using the same Asus monitors and monitor cables. Add device models are attached in the images. All are using the latest DisplayLink Drivers (15.0.0 Build 22)

  8. Enhancement Request: Improved rendering for "Overlay" windows in IDEs (Visual Studio/VAX)

    Hi Team,

    I’ve been using a DisplayLink-enabled dock for my development workstation for several months now. Overall, the stability is impressive. However, I’ve noticed a specific behavior when using Visual Studio alongside Visual Assist (Whole Tomato).

    The Issue: When DisplayLink is driving multiple high-resolution displays, the "Quick Info" tooltips and "Member List" dropdowns (standard UI overlays in IDEs) occasionally exhibit a slight flicker or a 100ms delay in rendering compared to the main code editor window. This seems to be related to how the Desktop Window Manager (DWM) handles transparency on non-primary displays connected via USB.

    Suggested Improvement:

    Optimization for…

  9. MacBook Air M1

    I have a HP G2 dock that I use with my work HPG7 laptop. I wanted to use my MacBook Air M1, purchased recently with this dock.
    I downloaded the display link driver, as recommended by a few website and within a few minutes, I have extended desktop from my MacBook Air onto my 2x HP E243i monitors.
    I can even close the MacBook Air and still use the monitors and USB peripherals.
    It's the same experience as my HP G7 laptop

  10. Wacom display tablet on Android

    Using a DisplayLink dock I have connected a Wacom One Display Tablet to a Google Pixel 3a mobile running Android 12. I have used both the DisplayLink Presenter and Desktop app. The display works however, the stylus input, while recognized, is not calibrated for both portrait and landscape. When using a mouse, the pointer is displayed on the mobile screen but, not the external display.

  11. MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1 is managing the display directly, rather than using DisplayLink Manager.

    Macbook Pro system is controlling display not Display Link Manager and can only extend to one display
    You should try block blast; the colorful interface and fun missions make it easy to get hooked.

  12. 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?

    The 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.

  13. DisplayLink Not Working Properly with MacBook Pro – External Displays Only After Login

    Hi all,

    I’m having an issue with DisplayLink on my MacBook Pro (M3) when connected through a docking station. I’ve installed DisplayLink Manager and granted the required permissions (e.g., Screen Recording), but my external monitors only start working after I log into macOS — there’s no display at the login screen.

    Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Is there a setting or workaround to get the external displays to show from boot/login screen, or does this require a driver update from DisplayLink? Any suggestions would be great!

    Thanks in advance!

  14. Built-in per-monitor performance

    Hi DisplayLink team,
    I’m currently using DisplayLink software version 11.1 on Windows 11 (23H2) with a USB-C docking station, and overall the experience has been smooth and reliable for multi-monitor work.
    One idea I’d like to suggest is adding a built-in per-monitor performance or status indicator within the DisplayLink Manager. It would be helpful to quickly see which Slither io displays are using DisplayLink, their refresh rate, compression status, and whether they are operating in optimal mode, especially for users with multiple docks or mixed GPU setups.
    Thanks for continuing to improve DisplayLink; it’s an essential tool for productivity setups…

  15. 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 more robust solution, empowering users…

  16. Enable Automatic Display Configuration Sync Across Multiple Devices

    Please add a feature that allows DisplayLink to automatically sync display configuration settings (such as resolution, orientation, arrangement, scaling, and refresh rate) across multiple connected displays and devices without manual setup each time.

    What this would do:
    Right now, whenever I switch between docking stations or connect to different laptops, I have to manually reconfigure display settings for each display — same arrangement, same scaling, same orientation — every single time. A sync feature would remember my preferred layout and apply it automatically, making transitions much smoother wacky flip.

    How it should work:

    Save display configuration per device profile.

  17. DisplayLink on Steam Deck or Handheld PCs – Anyone Tried It?

    Hey everyone,
    I’ve been experimenting with portable setups lately and was wondering — has anyone successfully used DisplayLink on a Steam Deck (or similar handheld PCs like the ROG Ally or Ayaneo)? I'm curious if it's stable enough to run multiple external monitors via USB-C when docked.

    A few questions to get the ball rolling:
    1. Did the DisplayLink drivers install properly on SteamOS or did you have to switch to Windows?
    2. How’s the performance — any input lag or graphical glitches?

    On a side note — I tried running Geometry Dash
    on one of the external displays just…

  18. Can DisplayLink add per-monitor color calibration support?

    I’m wondering: Is it possible for future DisplayLink wheelie life drivers to support per-monitor color calibration (ICC profiles) so each DisplayLink-connected screen can use its own accurate color profile?
    Thanks!

  19. I think the honeymoon phase has ended. The issues I'm having with my Mac Mini M4

    Hey guys!

    First of all, I have to say I love the performance of my base model Mac Mini M4. It’s fast, takes up minimal space on my desk, and runs Adobe apps better than any Windows machine I’ve ever had — even those with 32GB of RAM.

    But I’m having some issues that are driving me nuts.
    First, my monitors: I have a 144Hz monitor that only works at 60Hz — if I try 144Hz, it keeps flashing on and off. I’ve tried different cables (HDMI to DisplayPort, 8K HDMI, etc.), but no luck. My second monitor is connected…

  20. Multi-Monitor Profile Switching

    Hi DisplayLink Team,
    Please consider adding a feature to save multiple monitor layouts and quickly switch between them. This would help users who often connect to different setups.
