I'm in 100 percent agreement. I just upgraded to Yosemite and so many things are broken. I'm not sure how a company like Epson can have drivers ready for 10.10 but a company like Display Link cannot even write drivers for Mavericks and earlier when we're already on Yosemite. Yeah that's right Displaylink, Epson had their 10.10 drivers ready the day the OS was released like it should be. |

Bravo, I couldn't have said this better. I totally agree with this point of view.
A great hardware product with great potential is ruined by ignoring software (the stuff that makes the world go round). I will personally never buy a Displaylink product again. And where applicable, I will from now on advise against using Displaylink products. |

Hi All,
I would be extremely surprised if printer drivers were affected by the bugs introduced in the graphics APIs since Mavericks. Carlo |

I side with Apple on this one
Displaylink gurus,
So I see that the official word is Apple is blaming third party drivers. You have one of two options here: 1.) Fix your driver 2.) Use another framework. (I.E. piggyback off an existing technology) I am a huge fan of your devices. When I saw them perform on Windows I was blown away. I have wanted one of these devices for over a year now. Read between the lines here. I blame you and solely you on this one. Is that bad? Not really. It is actually a GOOD thing if you read (past tense) between the lines. Apple has a great technology already for this very thing. I am debating if I should have spent the $$ and upgraded my Apple TV 2 and gotten a second AppleTV 3. I may actually move away from this for the Mac and move to Apple TV. :-) It's redundant though. I'd be hooking my monitor into the device then wireless sending a signal to it over airplay. It's fast. it supports OpenGL... Now if only someone was capable of making a device that could do airplay over HDMI... you know like streaming a video signal to a device. Too bad your device doesn't steam video to a device over USB 3.0. Man if it did then you'd be one step closer. Oh well. I will wait for a better driver. In the mean time.... see my next post. Keep making great products too. This still is - hands down - an incredible piece of technology. |

I have many, many (almost a dozen) DisplayLink products. Last week I purchased a portable HDMI (yes, portable) monitor and haven't looked back. My MBP Retina happy again

@DLNinja: That sounds awesome. How is the DL performance on your OS version? Wasn't aware of an HDMI portable like that.
