Dear DisplayLink macOS users,

As we previously advised, we are aware that installing macOS version 10.13.4 will cause DisplayLink connected displays to go blank after the OS update, with the latest DisplayLink driver release 4.1 installed.

Extended displays continue to work as expected in macOS 10.13.3 - this is why we recommend remaining on macOS 10.13.3 or earlier at this time. Functionality such as Ethernet and audio, where implemented, is unaffected on macOS update.

DisplayLink has committed significant resources to finding a way to restore extended mode display support in a future release of macOS.
We have made solid progress towards identifying a solution, however our team needs to complete more work before we can communicate a release plan for a driver that will restore extended mode displays.

In the meantime, DisplayLink driver 4.3 Beta 2 enables clone mode, but not extended mode, displays in 10.13.4. Users who have already updated to 10.13.4 should install that driver.

We will update you on this thread as soon as we have further details to share.
Thank you for your continued patience and we appreciate your feedback and support.

Kind regards,
Alban

Hi Alban,
Thanks for the update.
I think MANY of us would be willing to work with DL as even Alpha testers if it helps you know more about what works, what doesn't, and what needs to be addressed as you work out a solution. Many hands make light work.
