  2. Last version of DP Presenter for Android (4.2.x) is sluggish!!

    Version 4.0.x worked fine, even if resolution was limited. The new version is sluggish as hell (I am using a 3840x2160 monitor, but I don't care about hi-res, I want a usable experience).
    Please fix or, if anything, add a setting in the app to set a maximum resolution.

  3. Enhance Installer Compatibility with Automated MDM Deployments

    In enterprise environments utilizing MDM solutions like Jamf Pro for macOS device management, software installations often occur during automated workflows such as PreStage enrollment. These installations run in a root context without an active user session. 

    Currently, the DisplayLink Manager installer includes a post-installation script that attempts to launch the application using:

    currentuser=$(/usr/bin/stat -f %Su /dev/console)
    launchctl asuser $(/usr/bin/id -u "$current    user") /usr/bin/open "/Applications/DisplayLink Manager.app"

    This approach fails when no user is logged in, leading to installation errors in automated deployment scenarios.

    Proposed Enhancement:

    Modify the post-installation script to check for an active user session before attempting to…

  6. Code-sign and notarize DisplayLink Manager for macOS so it passes Gatekeeper checks and can be reinstated in Homebrew.

    The DisplayLink Manager app for macOS is currently failing Apple's Gatekeeper checks due to missing code signing and notarization. This prevents smooth installation and usage for macOS users, especially those installing via Homebrew, the widely used macOS package manager.

    Because of this, the DisplayLink Manager cask was deprecated and removed from Homebrew’s repository:

    Please update DisplayLink Manager for macOS so it is:

    1. Code-signed with a valid Apple Developer ID.
    2. Notarized via Apple's notary service.

    Once this is done, Homebrew maintainers have indicated the cask can be reinstated, restoring…

  9. make your drivers work with MacOs, or dont sell them!

    Why is it after purchsing two of your devices I still can't get my MBP to recognise there's a thunderbolt device attached (says only USB 3.1) and rather than show an extended screen, it blinks on and off (both screens) and chimes a particularly noxious chime? I didn't pay too much money for this device, which has never heard of PnP and cannot find a KEXT at all.

  10. Support for 4k displaymode 1920x1280

    Please add display resolution support for BenQ 4k developer displays:
    https://www.benq.com/en-us/monitor/programming.html
    https://www.benq.com/en-us/monitor/programming/rd280u.html

    The RD280U has a native display resolution of 3840x2560, which is
    a 4K resolution of 1920x1280.

    The DisplayLink driver 1.11 (macOS) currently only supports
    1920x1080 and 1920x1440.

    1920x1280 is missing.

  11. Allow sharing of multiple screens for NDI Scan Converter

    I think this is a DisplayLink limitation, but just installed a Startech 102B multilink for 2 x HDMI extended displays on an M2 Macbook Pro. Displays work great, but unable to send both to NDI Tools Scan Converter. Can only do one or the other. Need to present both a powerpoint slide (extended display 1) and notes (extended display 2). thank you for your consideration!

  13. 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.

  15. Ipad

    Apple iPadOS — Using Driverkit add support for iPadOS for Displaylink. The iPadOS may not be able to handle dual screens but if using Displaylink I could have the external screen split over two screens this would be great also.

  16. Support for 2304x1296 resolution (macOS)

    I’m using an OWC Dual 4K HDMI adapter on macOS Sonoma and while it works rather well driving my 4K displays, what I’m missing on the displaylink-connected display is support for 2304x1296 resolution (scaled) - it’s otherwise available when the display is connected directly.

    It’s a very nice middle ground between the size of UI elements and sharpness, and the adapter only provides scaled resolutions of 2560x1440 (a bit smallish and fuzzy) and 2048x1152 (sharper, but too big still). Thank you in advance for accommodating this request, which I hope is not too complex to implement, at least among experimental…

  19. Integrate memory of arrangement of separate spaces for different displays

    At the moment after unplugging external displays then reconnecting them the locations of different multiple spaces on the different displays are mix up and jumbled. In other words it seems display link does not remember which applications and which spaces were assigned to which display once the monitors are disconnected. Thereby needing to rearrange and reorganize all spaces everytime you disconnect from you external displays.

  20. macOS: Invert colors on all monitors via DisplayLink Manager

    When using latest macOS (currently 14.1.1) and DisplayLink Manager (currently 1.10) via Anker 563 (would apply to any DL device), it would be nice if when one does 'Invert colors' in macOS as per below, DisplayLink Manager applies this setting to all external monitors. Presently, this functionality only works on the laptop screen only, not any external monitors connected via USB-C to HDMI out.
