External monitor flickers on and off occasionally with DisplayLink & D6000

I'm having a similar problem with my MacBook Pro 16-inch (AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 4 GB) in additional to the issue of not being able to reach the Odyssey G9's full resolution at all (5120x1440@240hz) with a D6000 docking station.

I'm only getting 3840x1080@120hz when using the D6000, yet I'm getting 3840x1080@60hz when using apple's official HDMI-to-USB-C adapter. Even though it's 60hz, animations look flawless when compared to the 120hz that I'm able to get through the D6000 DP-to-USB-C.

I have updated the drivers using a windows machine and have installed the DisplayLink manager 1.1.0 (Build 54.91) with no luck at all in fixing neither the flickering nor the max resolution issue.

I also tried playing with the PC/AV options on the monitor but also didn't succeed at improving the resolution or the refresh rate.

I tried using two DP 1.4 cables, both the one that came with the Odyssey and one from CableMatters, same problem.

I just need to know if this issue can be resolved with a future update or do I need to look for a different docking station, DP-to-USB-C cable, or something else.

Sincerely,
FS
