I've been reviewing options so I thought I'd share them with everyone. If you have any other suggestions, please share.

For the 2017 and newer Macs, a Thunderbolt 3 to Dual HDMI 2.0 Adapter for about $90. You could leave the display link hardware connected for the Ethernet, USB etc.

For the 2017 and newer Macs, the CalDigit TS3 Plus can drive two 4k monitors with the use of a Thunderbolt 3 to Dual HDMI 2.0 Adapter. This combo would replace the display link hardware at a cost of about $390.

For the 2017 and newer Macs, a Sonnet Radeon RX 570 eGFX Breakaway Puck would add an eGPU and the ability to connect to four monitors. $600. They have a 560 for about half the price but it's not on Apples supported hardware list.

For the 2017 and newer Macs, you can build your own breakout box. Boxes start at $200 and you can choose your own graphics card from a supported list. Probably looking at $700 on the low end all up.

Our display link hardware was very reasonable in comparison!
