I've been using a Display Link with a 2018 MBP for 1 month with no significant issues until yesterday when the same thing happened to me:

I went to watch Rings of Power on Amazon Prime and was met with a black screen whilst the audio played in the background.

I thought I was going mad, I tried Chrome, Edge and Safari to no avail. After hours of googling I've found that it's tied up with HDCP, essentially Apple are preventing people from broadcasting paid media...

What a useless product. Off I go to Amazon to give this 1 star...
