Do you have to use that displaylink software with terrible framerate and latency compared to native?
I tried to get 3 monitors working on a work Mac with a new triple DisplayPort dock and had a terrible time, I went back to my Linux desktop since I can easily get smooth 165hz native performance on three monitors
- dmitrygr 3y agoI have a 4K monitor connected via usb3 displaylink and it gets 60fps.
- chris_wot 3y agoYeah, the key here is you must use a DisplayLink adapter. Most laptops other than Apple MacBook Airs don’t need this to have more than one extra monitor.
- dmitrygr 3y agoBut they cannot last 20h on a battery, win some, lose some
- thorncorona 3y agoi find the latency is pretty bad even though it’s 60fps
- SkyPuncher 3y agoI use a dual DisplayPort doc then connect one monitor directly. I'm running 2x 1440p and 1x 1440p ultrawide this way. This is a work setup, so I don't really need massive performance. It's all 60hz and no noticeable latency. I don't believe that triple DisplayPort works well with mac. I believe two is the limit.
