  1. Please Add an Option to Disable or Customize the DisplayLink On-Screen Display (OSD)

    I would like to request a new feature regarding the on-screen display (OSD) messages that appear when connecting or disconnecting DisplayLink devices. These pop-ups can be distracting, especially during presentations, screen recordings, or when switching between workspaces.

    Details / Concerns:

    Could you please add an option in the DisplayLink Manager to disable the OSD notifications entirely?

    Alternatively, the ability to customize the OSD (position, transparency, duration, or size) would be extremely helpful.

    Many users find the current OSD intrusive, and having control over it would significantly improve the user experience.

    This feature would benefit professionals who require a clean visual…

  2. 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…

  3. issue on my MacOS device

    I'm having an issue on my MacOS device and could use some help. My system has recently become slow, especially when launching apps or switching between windows. I’ve already tried restarting and closing background programs, but the problem persists. What steps should I take to diagnose and fix this performance issue on MacOS? Block Blast

  4. Is there a way to decompress DisplayLink data on another device?

    I would love to be able to forward raw DisplayLink data to another device (running a host OS like Linux/Windows) and decode that data on the device for a live PiP sort-of display. This could enable devices that allow hosting other devices' displays on one single master device. I am a hobbyist looking to create a proof-of-concept device that allows me to control another device from mine. (Focusing on high-ish performance and not using existing tech like Wireless transmission, or other non-native solutions) DisplayLink seems like a perfect candidate currently, since the data is compressed and forwarded to a SoC…

  5. DisplayLink dock

    Hi everyone, I’ve been using a DisplayLink dock daily as part of a mixed workflow where I switch between a lightweight laptop for travel and a more permanent dual-monitor setup at home, and while the system works reliably overall, I’ve noticed a couple of areas where it could evolve to fit real-world use even better. In my case, I bounce between coding, video calls, and occasional gaming, and each activity needs a different combination of refresh rates, resolutions, and monitor arrangements, but every time I reconnect, I end up manually fixing orientations, scaling, and performance settings. I’d love to see…

  7. Issue with DisplayLink on Windows 11 – External Monitor Not Detected

    I recently upgraded my laptop to Windows 11 and have been using a DisplayLink docking station to connect multiple monitors. Everything worked fine on Windows 10, but now one of my external monitors is not being detected at all.

    Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

    Reinstalled the latest DisplayLink driver from the official space waves website

    Updated Windows 11 to the latest cumulative update

    Checked all cables and connections (HDMI & USB-C)

    Restarted the docking station and laptop multiple times

    The monitor still shows “No Signal,” while other connected monitors via the same dock work fine.

    Has anyone else experienced…

  8. 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.

  9. Add official NFR (Not For Resale) license option for partners and testers

    It would be helpful if DisplayLink offered an NFR license program for partners, reviewers, and developers. This would make testing and showcasing products easier without needing a full commercial license.

  10. 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!

  11. 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!

  12. 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.

  13. Advanced USB DisplayLink deployment with mixed GPU environments (Intel + NVIDIA + DisplayLink) – driver conflicts and performance tuning

    Hello DisplayLink Support team,
    I am deploying a DisplayLink-based docking station system for a large enterprise environment (approximately 300+ users) using laptops with mixed GPUs (Intel iGPU and NVIDIA dGPU).
    During the deployment, I encountered complex issues related to:
    Driver conflicts:
    When the laptop switches between Intel and NVIDIA GPUs (e.g., when turning on/off the dGPU or changing performance modes), DisplayLink monitors sometimes lose signal or flicker for 1–2 seconds.
    Some docking devices (Dell D6000, Targus DOCK190) require DisplayLink Manager and NVIDIA Control Panel to be installed in parallel, but after updating the GPU driver, the video performance dropped dramatically.…

  14. Option to enable automatic DisplayLink driver updates regardless of dock connection status

    I manage a large Windows 10 client environment, and keeping drivers up to date is a key priority for us. Ideally, I’d like DisplayLink (DL) drivers to update automatically—whether or not a dock is currently connected. stickman hook

    From what I understand, this isn’t the current behavior. When a computer connects to a DL dock, the driver activates automatically, and if Windows Update is allowed to handle driver updates, it will install a newer version when available.

    However, I’d prefer an option to schedule automatic driver checks and updates independently of Windows Update—perhaps daily, weekly, or monthly—so that systems remain…

  15. USB Device Not Recognized Errors When Connecting DisplayLink Hardware

    Many users ( include me) experience a “USB device not recognized” error when connecting DisplayLink-enabled devices such as docking stations, external monitors, or adapters. This issue can be frustrating because it prevents the connected display or peripheral from functioning properly.

    I had been thinking for a long time about finding my soulmate or just having some fun. And [url=https://www.dating.com/blog/miss-you-quotes/]missing you quotes after breakup[/url] gave me such a wonderful opportunity.

  18. Feature Request: Option to Prioritize Performance Mode for Gaming & Animation

    I’m new here and just started using a DisplayLink-powered docking station with my laptop (running Windows 11). First off — I’ve got to say, it’s been great being able to connect multiple monitors through USB-C without the usual cable chaos!
    However, I’ve noticed that when I run certain 3D Geometry Dash applications or lightweight games (like indie rhythm or animation tools), the display sometimes lags slightly — not enough to break things, but just enough to feel off when timing or motion precision matters.
    So I had an idea for a potential feature request:
    👉 Add a “Performance Mode” toggle…

    The game’s intentionally bad graphics and distorted sound effects create an eerie atmosphere that mixes humor with terror. This odd blend gives baldi's basics its unique identity—it’s both funny and frightening. Behind its simple appearance lies a clever parody of old educational software, turning nostalgia into something deeply unsettling.
