DisplayLink Forum - View Single Post - Enforcing video output without monitor detection

Hi James,

thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, DL-1xx does not support the required monitor resolution. From technical point of view, DL-3xxx & DL-5xxx should be able to provide a signal without a previous monitor detection. It's just a matter of driver implementation. I hoped, that there is kind of hidden debug feature, in order to omit this limitation of the driver GUI.

To me this means, that I have to sell again my new DisplayLink hardware in order to buy a laptop with native DisplayPort output based on an Intel GPU. Because Intel/Windows drivers support manual graphics configuration. That's too bad.
