To expand further, DisplayLink has a list of all the docking stations based on DisplayLink technology here --> https://www.synaptics.com/products/d...cking_stations

It does not appear that any of these products provide a USB Type-C or Thunderbolt 3 video output port that would be compatible with your LG 5K display --> https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27...hd-led-monitor

Further to this, the LG display you are using has a maximum resolution of 5120x2880. According to the information provided by DisplayLink here --> https://support.displaylink.com/know...lution-support that resolution is not supported by their technology via a single video output port.

With that said, one way to connect both displays to your Mac would be to connect the LG display directly to one of your Mac's Thunderbolt/USB4 ports.

You could then connect a USB adapter based on DisplayLink technology to one of the downstream USB Type-C ports built-in to the LG display. You could then connect the Acer display to the USB adapter.

This combination will have the LG display being driven by the native video output capabilities of your Mac, and the Acer display being driven by the DisplayLink adapter. As an added bonus, the LG display will also charge your Mac.

Thanks a lot for the reply.

I can find an adapter with a vga/DVI on one end, and a USB A on the other.

I can now the only thing I need to find is a USB-A to USB-C cable or converter. Correct?
