3x PBP on Samsung G95NC 57" — one DisplayLink display showing black bars around the i

Hey all, hoping someone has run into this before.

Setup: SIIG triple 4K docking station (DL6950 chip) connected to a Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57" monitor running in 3x Picture-by-Picture mode. Each of the three PBP windows should be 2560x2160.

On my Windows 11 laptop, two of the three windows work fine, but one of the DisplayLink-driven windows shows a black box/border around all sides — like the image is correct but shrunk down and centered with black space around it. Changing the resolution doesn't get rid of it, and changing the monitor's aspect ratio setting just stretches/distorts the image without removing the black bars.

Oddly, when I plug the exact same dock and cables into my Mac instead, all three PBP windows work perfectly with no black bars. So it seems tied to something Windows-specific.

What I've tried so far:

Uninstalled DisplayLink software completely and reinstalled fresh from the DisplayLink website (not just Windows Update)
Ran the DisplayLink cleaner/uninstall tool before reinstalling
Tried different resolutions in DisplayLink Manager
Updated to the latest driver version

None of that has changed anything — same black bars every time on Windows.

Has anyone dealt with something like this before? Any settings I might be missing, or is this just a known limitation? Happy to provide more details/screenshots if it helps. Thanks!
