I just searched the forum as I am also experiencing lag on both of my Sequoia 15.3.1 Macbook Pro 16-inch 2023 M2 Max laptop's external monitors after just adding a wavelink wl-ug75pd1-dh with DisplayLink running the latest available DisplayLink Manager 1.11.0 Build 28 (I have tried both with and without the experimental higher res modes enabled with no difference). It is especially noticeable when zooming out mission control to show all windows, but even just moving the mouse around often stutters or lags and is incredibly annoying, there is always some cursor lag, but sometimes it gets really bad.

I just checked and both of my external monitors are already set at 60Hz.

I just submitted my support tool logs and am waiting to hear back ��

Hi daubstepper,

Sorry the workaround didn't help in your case. Just checking recently reported issues to take a look into the your report, but unable to find it. Did you follow this instruction How to report macOS issues to DisplayLink and send the report together with the logs to technical-enquiries@synaptics.com?

Regards,
Szymon

Thanks for the email address. I did attempt to send the logs in three different times using the workflow in the app, but that appears to be buggy (please fix that), and despite saying they were sent, I am guessing they were not. I just attached all three log zip files to the email to the address you provided.

EDIT: Lol... and just got this error back, I guess I will try just sending the one latest log file and hope for the best...

I have M4 Mac Book PRO with 24 GB RAM. Plugable USB C Triple Display Docking Station
 
I have the same issue in mouse and keyboard lag and screen refresh lag and move the screen accross monitor lag. Everyone compalin in many website. Display link does not with Mac. Mac only works with the default set of monitors allowed by design without any issues . MAC M4 supports 2 external monitor . M4 MAX PRO supports external 3. waiting for any solution from displaylink. I tried many docs with 3 monitior support all has the lag issues with MAC except MAC M4 MAX(I hope)

Hi vpkraja,
Have you tried using DisplayLink Manager 1.12.0?
If it doesn't solve your problem then please contact us directly, where we can assess where the problem lies after you send us the logs.

I tried the below docs . This issue is not related to Dock it is related to displayln

I tried different resolutions and refresh rates. When I tried two monitors with non-DisplayLink docks, It worked without lag. So the verdict is that the Macbook PRO M4 will work naturally with Two monitors, not with 3. Even if you use DisplayLink, it seems to work with unusable lag.

The details are there in Apple website.

The only solution is to buy a MacBook Pro M4 Max, which by default supports three external monitors without a DisplayLink dock
