Using a DELL D6000 and a Targus DOCK570USZ together

[Roberto Fonseca]

Hey all,

I have a DELL D6000 and a Targus DOCK570USZ on my setup. I'm willing to use both on my 6 Full HD displays. I've connected both but my Macbook Pro doesn't show all 6 displays. It shows only the 4 connected to the Targus dock.

Does anyone have any tips to have both working together?

To the best of my knowledge, DisplayLink supports up to a maximum of four external displays on a Mac host. I would suspect this is why only four displays are working.

EDIT - I located the reference for this detail --> https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1932214-displaylink-manager-app-for-macos-introduction-in

At the very bottom of the page under item '7. Current DisplayLink Manager app scope and limitations':

"macOS supports a maximum of 4 virtual displays whatever their technology. Virtual displays are defined as displays not directly connected to the graphics card (GPU) (=not HDMI, DisplayPort or USB-C),"
