Anyways, back to the screen freezes. I can consistently reproduce it with the method outlined below:

1. Click on the time in the menu bar, and click "Open Date & Time Preferences"
2. Uncheck "Set date and time automatically" box, and change the date to sometime in the past.
3. Save the date, and all DisplayLink monitors freeze.

If you can't reproduce it with the above steps, let me know, and I'll upload the report to OneDrive and share the link with you.

Thank you computerguru,

This bug is very, very interesting. I could reproduce with your steps, I think the key step is the somewhat overcomplicated animation on the "Set date and time automatically" setting.

I wonder what is happening there. Thank you again, we'll look into this and let you know.

About the maximum number of displays on Mac four DisplayLink screens is the maximum. On Windows you should be able to go beyond four on most systems, the guys at Plugable have gone crazy and connected 14.

Regards,
Carlo
