Note the "Processor" model details in the "System Summary" section, as some graphics drivers are referenced by the processor model

In addition, the DisplayLink Manager Application installation process should not be executed while the installation file is located within any type of cloud storage drive (such as Microsoft OneDrive, DropBox or Google Drive) mounted as a local physical storage volume. C. macOS does not have permission to access the location of the DisplayLink Manager Application installation file. The following list describes the features present in DisplayLink Manager version 1.8.0: Login screen extension status Windows, Mac, or ChromeOS—This HDMI adapter for monitors is compatible with Windows 10/Windows 11—more adapters can be added to connect up to 8 monitors. On macOS 10.14 or later, more adapters can be added to connect up to 4 monitors. On ChromeOS can connect up to 2 monitors. Driver installation is required You can rotate the orientation of the DisplayLink-connected displays within the ‘Displays’ macOS System Preferences application. Computer Gaming: most 2D and 3D games require hardware graphics acceleration which is not supported by the Silicon Motion Graphics software, games may not launch correctly with the graphics adapter connected to the computerMac laptops running macOS 12 Monterey or newer can be used in one of two ways when used in conjunction with a DisplayLink-based product. Within Google’s list, the column ‘User ABI’ refers to the type of CPU, where ‘x86_64’ refers to an Intel or AMD CPU while ‘arm’ refers to an ARM CPU. Uninstall any and all software with 'Silicon Motion' in the title that is present from within the Control Panel > Programs and Features (Apps and Features in Windows 10). If an entry is not listed in the Programs and Features application, the driver was likely installed automatically by Windows Update. Please then move on to the next step of installing the latest recommended driver

Important note – the contents of your screens (displays) are not being recorded. This setting just enables the DisplayLink driver to access the information generated by the system’s built-in graphics adapter to generate the image shown on the DisplayLink-connected displays. *** Any time a USB 3.0 device is connected to a laptop system, there is a potential that the USB 3.0 connection can generate interference that can affect the performance of the laptop's built-in Wi-Fi adapter. This is a roundabout way of saying that if you have a Mac or a USB-C iPad, it’s a good idea to buy this official multiport adapter from Apple directly. It lets you plug in a charger, hook up a screen, and connect one USB device. If that one USB device is a small USB hub, you’re essentially set, although with the popularity of wireless keyboards and mice these days, most people probably only need one USB port anyway. Display Rotation on Silicon Motion graphics adapters is supported on Apple Silicon based devices only (M1 and M2 Processors) running macOS 12 or newer. Display Rotation is not currently supported on Intel based Apple devices. Yes with macOS 11 Big Sur, macOS 12 Monterey, and macOS 13 Ventura on Apple CPU-based systems (an external power source must be connected to the Mac)

Apart from support of up to 5K at 60Hz, you’ll also get Gigabit Ethernet, two USB-A 3.0 ports, USB-C 40Gbps, and USB-C PD (Power Delivery) for fast charging from a suitable power supply. This is of course an optional feature, and is not required to use DisplayLink devices. However, this option is useful in certain situations, such as when only DisplayLink-connected displays are connected to the host Mac. Automatic startup

Beta support available via 3rd-party application f.lux starting with DisplayLink Manager version 1.7.1**** Change the video format to YU12 or YV12 (OBS on Raspberry Pi does not support MJPEG at this stage). In rare instances, Windows applications that use a technology known as OpenGL to draw the image shown on the display will attempt to direct OpenGL related tasks to the Silicon Motion-based virtual graphics adapter, and not to the 'real'/'physical' GPU within the laptop.There are many different ways to convert a USB to HDMI. In this section, we will discuss how to convert a USB to HDMI. This method includes using an HDMI adapter. USB to HDMI adapter

The second way is with the laptop lid closed, with the laptop's built-in internal display disabled. This is known as closed display mode or 'clamshell' mode. If you encounter an error where the DisplayLink Manager App is running and you cannot close it please continue with 4B-4E below: When a Plugable DisplayLink device is not working as expected with a Windows system, the best practice is to disconnect the device from the host system (and remove it's external power source, if it has one) and perform a 'clean' manual installation of the latest version we recommend of the required DisplayLink software driver to help ensure both are in a good state. To do so, please follow these steps: A sure bet is buying a native USB Type A to HDMI adapter such as this great little unit from StarTech. This uses DisplayLink technology, which is a software-based solution. Therefore it’s not a great way to use applications such as video games, but if you want to connect to a 4K UHD screen to watch movies, do a presentation, or general productivity, this is an excellent solution. UPDATE 5/24/2022 - To the best of Plugable's knowledge, the unexpected behavior described below has been resolved by the macOS 12.4 update. While the issue has been resolved, the information below has been retained for historical reference.For best performance, Plugable recommends using our DisplayLink-based products with Chromebooks that were released in the year 2020 or later. Be careful when it comes to the exact USB standard an adapter uses. Today’s most popular type of adapter is a USB-C to HDMI converter, but Thunderbolt adapters use the same physical connector as USB-C devices. In most cases adapters that support Thunderbolt 3 or 4 will also work with USB-C (at a slower total speed), but some adapters only work with Thunderbolt. The DisplayLink Manager Application should not be installed on an external storage drive, or to any type of cloud storage drive (such as Microsoft OneDrive, DropBox or Google Drive) mounted as a local physical storage volume. Unfortunately, Macs are currently limited to 4K at 60Hz, but this adapter offers a lot of future-proofing for a price we frankly can’t believe. Best of all, by all accounts, it’s built to last as well. If it weren’t for the small sacrifice on Mac, this would be the best all-round solution you can buy right now for the money.
