Ok, I downloaded DisplayLink USB Graphics Windows Driver 5.4 M1 http://www.displaylink.com/support/downloads.php
I still have no idea why version 5.4 M1 is more advanced than version 5.5, that's pretty confusing for end users I'll give it a try though |

As soon as I read "The screen might flash for a few moments", I know it's downhill from there. After that, I tried playing videos in MKV, MP4... and they ALL fail. Even plain old AVIs that don't have fancy codecs, everthing fails. It seems like it might be a problem only with Windows 7, I have no idea I AM GOING TO RETURN THIS ITEM WHILE I CAN This software is destroying my Nvidia experience The worst part is that this DisplayLink-5.4.28638 supposedly fixes this issue I know the 260 driver was released October 15th, so today is exactly one month after that. Should I wait for yet another software update, or should I return the item? I have no idea what to do know, but one thing is certain, I hate spending $160 on a product that has so many bugs I can't play videos anymore, that's ridiculous The ONLY reason I bought this is to play videos and watch them on my living room Last edited by rafarataneneces; 11-15-2010 at 06:01 PM. |

Hello.
I can confirm this error only happens with VLC VLC is my favorite player, that plays MKV, MOV, AVI, MP4... pretty much everything As soon as I launch VLC, Windows Aero changes to basic, but I can't play the video VLC works 100% great without Display Link enabled I tried playing videos on iTunes and Adobe Flash Player, they work but with VLC, something weird happens |

ok
f*¢k YEAH!!!! Go to VLC Tools -> Preferences Click on Video select Output chose OpenGL video output (default is DirectX) restart Now VLC works with DisplayLink Tested with Windows 7 64-bit, Aero enabled, now everything works Last edited by rafarataneneces; 11-15-2010 at 06:38 PM. |

5.4M1 not helping: was 5.5 uninstalled first?
I'm sure this is the case, but for those who have installed 5.4 M1 and found it's not helping, could someone confirm that the 5.5 driver was uninstalled first, before installing 5.4 M1? (to make sure you're really getting the 5.4 M1 bits).
Sorry, just want to confirm 5.4 M1 isn't solving the issues ... |

Hi!
It works for me... finally! VLC runs only proper on OpenGL. Uninstalled old Displaylink first, then the old Nvidia Driver. After that I installed Nvidia Driver 260.99 and then the DisplayLink 5.4.28638 . Did a full reboot between every uninstall-install step. |

I returned my item to the store, I really don't like something messing with my DirectX plus, Display Link never helped me solve my issue, I solved the issue myself, I discovered how to run VLC, so the tech support is pretty lame However, I was indeed impressed by the technology, so who knows, maybe I'll give it another try next month Please post your experience here with DirectX applications (players, games...) I appreciate your support, I might buy the item again in December if the issues are fixed Now, for the record A CHEAPER SOLUTION is to buy HDMI to CAT6 adapter sells for $45 in Amazon 75 feet of CAT6 sell for $8 at amazon I am going to do that, I have no problem going to Home Depot, and installing small clips that will hook my wires to the corner of my walls, making the white CAT6 cable almost invisible to the eye Then I don't have to worry about adding another layer of software that will prevent me from enjoying my current games, etc, etc So far my experience with Display Link is negative plus cable is rock solid quality and sound |
