This monitor does not declare to support the 1920x1080 resolution, the list of supported modes is

Our current Mac drivers don't risk resolutions not supported by the display. The best solution would be to get a DisplayLink based product that supports the display native resolution: 1920x1200.

you're correct-- after looking the max resolution for the monitor is 1920x1200. when will the display link driver support this resolution?

when i purchased the display link based solution i own there were no list of supported resolutions so I assumed it would behave like any other video card and support any resolution the monitor supports up to a maximum. this is a bit disappointing.

It's not a driver issue, there are different DisplayLink chips that can be in the products you can buy and the main difference between them is the maximum supported resolution. This information is usually reported by the vendor, which brand was your DisplayLink device?
It looks like you have a DL165 based product, which supports a maximum resolution of 1920x1080. You would need a DL195 based product that supports up to 2048x1152 and usually costs a bit more: http://www.displaylink.com/displaylink_hardware.php
