![]() This is technology is useful for quick build-up and teardown of multiple monitor setups, sure, but as a replacement for mature technology already in place on Macintosh systems, this is a solution in search of problem. I doubt any application will be able to use the processors dedicated to transmitting video over USB. Present GPU technology provides multiple dedicated processors for use not only in graphics applications, but for users of OS X and the forthcoming 10.6, the regular OS will make use of those GPUs. The problem with this is that the technology for PCIe and AGP is so much more advanced for similar prices and you are not using compression technology. If you want dedicated hardware to accelerate the compression, you're talking about another $300 or so. Also do ensure that your USB drivers and BiOS. In the case of computer-to-monitor configs, your CPU will be doing the compression of information to transmit over the USB network. CATALINA: We strongly recommend you have a fully up-to-date macOS Catalina before installing DisplayLink driver. USB Monitors begin at around $300 and you have to have software in place. YMMV with the legacy driver though, as they claim it's only supported up to Catalina. ![]() Alternatively, the software can be downloaded and installed from the DisplayLink website following the steps below. I have been using the so-called legacy DisplayLink USB Graphics Software in Catalina and was fully expecting to have to switch over to DisplayLink Manager instead after upgrading to Big Sur, but so far it's working as normal on the legacy driver. The investment in technology is expensive. The following section shows you how to install DisplayLink USB Graphics software on the following OSes: Windows 7-10 macOS Android Ubuntu Windows 7 to 10 operating systems DisplayLink software can be installed from Windows Update. ![]() The premise is that rather than transmitting video information over AGP or PCIe you would do so over USB. DisplayLink (formerly Newnham Research) is a semiconductor and software technology company, owned by Synaptics, that develops the DisplayLink USB graphics. ![]()
