Thanksd!

DisplayPort is a video output protocol (more information here --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort and here --> https://www.displayport.org/)

DisplayLink is a USB video technology that uses a combination of DisplayLink specific hardware within the product and a software component on the host system in order to provide video output via a USB data connection.

Although the names sound similar, they are very different technologies.

If you would like to find a product based on DisplayLink technology, DisplayLink maintains a fairly comprehensive list here --> https://www.synaptics.com/products/d...ylink-products
