MacBook Air M1

Hello,

I have an external LG UltraFine monitor connected via one of my two USB-C ports.

In the second USB-C port I plugged in a Plugable 11-in-1 USB-C Hub. I have a Lilliput A11 field monitor that I connected via HDMI to the Plugable Hub.

I have DisplayLink Manager 1.9.0 installed and was under the impression this would allow me to have a 2nd external display (the Lilliput A11) as a work-around to the Apple M1 limitation of allowing only one external display.

Unfortunately, it does not work and the Lilliput A11 is not receiving any signal.

I added a power pass-through to the Hub, but that did not make a difference.

Did I misunderstand what was possible with DisplayLink Manager? Am I using a Hub that is not supported and switching to a different device would work? Is this a limitation of the Lilliput A11 monitor?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Tyler
