What Products Require DisplayLink Drivers to Function?

  • At this time we use DisplayLink USB Graphics chipsets in all of our USB 2.0 and 3.0 graphics adapters and docking station products. These products require DisplayLink drivers to function correctly.
  • These drivers may be installed with or without the hardware present yet. The final configuration will then be completed automatically when hardware is plugged in.
  • Please be aware that it is perfectly normal to have your monitors briefly flash black once or more during installation and a reboot may be required to complete installation.
  • Currently only some of our USB-C docking station products, and none of our Thunderbolt 3 products utilize DisplayLink technology.
  • The following products do not require DisplayLink drivers: TBT3-UDV, TBT3-UD1/TBT3-UD1-83, TBT3-DP2X/TBT3-DP2X-83, TBT3-HDMI2X/TBT3-HDMI2X-83, UD-CAM, UD-CA1/UD-CA1A, or USBC-MD101.

Mac Important Information

  • Before installing an updated DisplayLink driver on Mac, previous versions must first be uninstalled followed by a system reboot.
  • Please note, macOS 10.13 and later requires users to manually approve 3rd party extensions (drivers). Step-by-step instructions for doing so can be found in our blog post here.
    For DisplayLink drivers, sometimes they need to be uninstalled and reinstalled before they will show up in Gatekeeper to approve.
  • For users of macOS Sierra (10.12), please read our blog post here regarding known-issues and workarounds.
