  1. 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.

  2. 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…

  3. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. 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!

  6. 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…

  7. 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…

  8. Add Fine‑Tuning Color Calibration Controls for Individual Displays

    Created by Wheelie Life
    I’d love to see DisplayLink Manager include more advanced color calibration controls for each connected display. Right now, adjusting color balance, gamma, or temperature requires using the OS settings or third‑party tools, which isn’t ideal when fine‑tuning multiple monitors connected via DisplayLink.

    A built‑in calibration panel could allow users to:

    Adjust RGB levels, gamma curves, and color temperature per display

    Save custom color profiles for different workflows (photo editing, video, general use)

    Easily apply consistent color settings across all attached screens

    This would be especially helpful for creators and professionals who rely on accurate color representation…

  9. Multi-Monitor Profile Switching

    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.

  10. 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.

  11. Audio/Video profiles and shortcuts.

    It would be helpful to have keyboard shortcuts for specific display profiles. I connected my dock to multiple monitors and would like to change the profiles as need. Everything has be done through menus now. When you have multiple settings to change, its cumbersome.

  12. 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!

  15. Make driver updates happen automatically, regardless of whether a dock is attached or not.

    At my helm is a sizable Windows 10 client infrastructure. We prefer to keep drivers informed. I would prefer to have the most recent driver installed on a displaylink (DL) dock when I connect to it. To the best of my knowledge, this is not how things are done nowadays.
    Nowadays, when a computer connects to a DL dock, the driver is automatically enabled. If Windows Update checks for updates, it will update your DL driver. assumion that driver updates are enabled and that a more recent driver is accessible.

    Envision a world where I could skip the Windows update…

  16. Feature Suggestion — Better Bandwidth Display and Power Info

    I am new here and I want to share a idea about DisplayLink features that maybe help many users. I often use DisplayLink with multiple monitors and sometimes it is little hard to know exactly how much bandwidth and power each display connection use. If software can show clearer info about real-time bandwidth and power usage, this will make setup more stable. In my work I am doing preliminary estimating for project planning, and I often check details before final decision. Sometimes I even look at guides like this one: https://tylerestimating.com/preliminary-estimating-services/
    to understand how small details change the final outcome.…

  17. Recommendation: Optimized support for 4K and 5K displays

    Hello DisplayLink,

    I would like to suggest improving the performance and stability when using 4K or 5K displays via DisplayLink connection, especially when running multiple displays or graphics-heavy applications.

    This will help the experience be smoother and take full advantage of the high resolution of modern displays.

    Thanks to the DisplayLink team for listening to your feedback!

  18. Suggestion: Automatic Screen On/Off Timer

    Hello DisplayLink team,

    I would like to suggest an automatic screen-on/off timer feature based on working hours or usage habits. This will help save power and protect the screen's lifespan when using a multi-monitor setup.

    Thanks, DisplayLink team, for always listening to users' opinions!

  20. Why Proxies are Essential to Manage Multiple Social Media Accounts

    Hello. For marketers, influencers, or agencies, proxies act as digital shields that separate accounts, keeping them secure and untraceable to a single user or location. This is vital for scaling campaigns or managing clients without risking bans or connection overlaps. Proxies also help automate processes across different profiles safely and efficiently. To dive deeper into why they’re essential, check out this article: https://www.europeanbusinessreview.com/why-proxies-are-essential-to-manage-multiple-social-media-accounts/ It’s a great resource to explore before choosing the right proxy strategy for your social media management.
