There is a problem with max. resolution for the Dell U2713HM on displaylink with mac.

I can only see 1920x1200. The monitor is connected as single monitor via DVI (stock cable) or HDMI (2160p ready cable). Resolution should be 2560x1440.

Driver is the newest 2.2.

OS is Mavericks.

Is it correct, that this combination should work?

Which DisplayLink adapter do you have? I'm pretty sure only those based on DL-3500 chipset support 1440p resolution - The one I have that uses that chipset has a DisplayPort output, instead of DVI/HDMI. Most DVI/HDMI adapters max out at 1920x1200 as you experienced.
