Benefits of Using the DisplayLink macOS App for DisplayLink Technology on macOS



*If you are experiencing technical difficulties with the most up-to-date DisplayLink download, we recommend uninstalling and installing the Catalina Beta 2 download and checking for any security setting changes. For more information on these steps, visit our troubleshooting page.


DisplayLink Manager provides a convenient way to enable your DisplayLink dock, adapter, or monitor on macOS. The app combines DisplayLink's latest driver with features that streamline the setup of mutliple displays with up to 4K resolution. Version 1.3 of the app can be downloaded from the DisplayLink website, and requires macOS Big Sur 11.2 or any version of macOS Catalina, according to the release notes.

This problem comes from older version (R11 and before) of macOS InstantView is not compatible with upgraded MacOS Ventura 13.0. SMI had update macOS InstantView to support MacOS Ventura 13.0 from R12 release. There are two ways to solve this problem. One is downloading the latest macOS InstantView from Website. Another one is changing System Setting.


If have installed a previous version of the DisplayLink driver, please uninstall it and then reboot your system before proceeding.1. Download the latest driver for macOS 10.14 Mojave from here -> 2. Navigate to your Downloads folder and double-click on the DisplayLink driver download

How the 720-S differs from the 740 is that the 720-S is a much sleeker and lighter model--meant for easy portability--and the 720-S also lacks the 1.2-megapixel webcam of the 740. When not in use or while in transit, the 720-S folds up to only about an inch thick at its thickest point, and it weighs less than a pound. A single mini-USB jack is located on the back of the unit, hiding underneath a rubber cap. The display's only controls are power and brightness. The display can be rotated for either landscape or portrait modes. I didn't like that the tilt wasn't adjustable--especially since I felt that the display tilted too far back when in portrait mode.Unfortunately, I already sent the 740 back to DisplayLink, so I didn't have a chance to do a side-by-side comparison of image quality. As far as memory goes, however, the image quality is comparable--meaning that the display has decent image quality, but suffers from a somewhat muted and grainy appearance (presumably from the touch-screen elements of the display) and not so great color accuracy. Once again, I was pleasantly surprised by the display's performance when playing back video, as I didn't see any noticeable lag--not that I would actually use a 7-inch display for watching video.The install disc comes with 32-bit and 64-bit drivers for Windows XP and Vista; however, I was unable to get the touch-screen driver to work properly on my HP Pavilion Elite m9550f testbed running 64-bit Vista. Ultimately, I wound up using the same 64-bit driver that DisplayLink sent me last April for the review of the Mimo 740. Even though the driver from April had a newer version number, I wasn't able to install it on top of the driver I had already installed from the disc--I had to use Windows' System Restore to reset the OS back to before the driver was installed. I finally got the touch-screen driver working, but it was a painful and time-consuming process. (BTW: A beta driver is available for download from the DisplayLink site for Windows 7.)Mac drivers are not included on the disc, but can be downloaded from DisplayLink's website. As I recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard, the only available driver that works on the new OS is a beta. The driver installed fine and I was up and running quickly on the Mac... Well, the display portion anyway... While the Mimo touch-screen monitors come with the touch-screen drivers for Windows, you actually need to purchase the Mac touch-screen drivers separately ($30). I still had the Mac touch-screen driver from April, but I was unable to get it to successfully install under Snow Leopard. (My iMac still has Leopard on it, but the system is currently at the shop getting fixed, so I didn't have a Leopard system available for testing.)All-in-all, the 720-S did what it is supposed to--at least under Windows. Since I really don't utilize the touch-screen functionality of the display, however, I would probably be better off with the less expensive, non-touch-screen 710-S version. The 720-S sells for $229.99, while the 710-S (which I did not evaluate) costs $149.99The other DisplayLink device I had a chance to play with was the HP USB 2.0 Video Dock. This is actually quite an ingenious device for those who want a simple docking station with external monitor support--where the only connection between your laptop and the docking station is a single USB 2.0 connection. The HP dock includes a four-port USB hub, VGA out, DVI out, 100Mbps Ethernet, mic-in, and headphone-out. Unlike the Mimo monitors, the HP dock is not USB bus-powered, so it requires an external power source.The HP dock's drivers are stored on the device itself, in built-in flash memory; they installed easily and I was up and running in no time. I connected an Ethernet cable to the device's network jack, powered speakers to the headphone jack, a few USB peripherals to the USB hub, and a monitor to the DVI port. Keep in mind, the only connection between my Windows testbed system and the HP dock was a single USB cable. Yet with only this single connection, the HP dock was simultaneously providing network access, sending audio to the speakers, connecting to the USB peripherals plugged into the USB hub, and sending video to a second display. Video response appeared very quick with no noticeable lag. Needless to say, I was very impressed with how seamless the HP dock worked.Despite having two different video-out ports, only one can work at a time--you can't use the device to send video to two external displays simultaneously. The HP Dock supports resolutions up to UXGA (1600x1200) or WSXGA+ (1680x1050).The HP Dock does not come with Mac drivers, but I decided to see what would happen if I connected my MacBook Pro to it. Surprisingly, the video out, audio out, and USB hub all worked! (The DisplayLink driver was already installed from my testing with the Mimo 720-S, and the USB audio and USB hub capabilities are already built into the Mac OS.) The only thing I couldn't get to work with the MacBook Pro was the HP Dock's Ethernet connection--but as nearly all laptops these days come with wireless NICs, that is not a showstopper (albeit, the 100Mbps Ethernet connection will be faster than an 802.11a/b/g/n connection). The big caveat here, however, is that the video response was noticeably slow with plenty of lag--of course, I was using the HP Dock for an unintended purpose, so it's not fair to ding it for this.The HP USB 2.0 Docking Station measures 1.1x8.66x3.2-inches (HWD) and weighs 11.32-oz. HP was selling it for $129.99, but they've just added a $32.50 instant rebate, bringing the price down to $97.49.DisplayLink devices currently have a number of limitations, such as lack of OpenGL support (i.e., Windows 3D screensavers don't display on DisplayLink monitors), known issues with some full-screen motion video playback, and they can't be used as a primary display (a small 7-inch display could be ideal for media sever). But, overall, I've been relatively impressed with the DisplayLink devices I've looked at. And with Wireless USB and USB 3.0, it will be interesting to see what sort of DisplayLink products we'll see in the near future. Stay tuned...


Good job on the manual. Included the note in the manual that you might need a mirascreen cable (usb c to hdmi) if your phone is not listed as compatible (samsung, oppo, huawei, and smartisan). You might want to check out displaylink cables as another option as well. It's a different chipset for the cable. Watch some youtube videos if you are unsure. 2ff7e9595c
