My setup with the 2018 MBP uses a Henge Stone hub. It powers the computer and gives me 3 USB ports, gigabit Ethernet, audio, USB-C (for a backup hard drive) and DisplayPort all over a single connection to the MBP. For the second monitor I use a $20 HDMI adapter. Henge recently released a firmware update that solved some earlier issues with the 2018 models. With my previous setup that used DisplayLink on a 2011 MBP, the CPU usage would go through the roof when active content was displayed on the secondary screen, and some apps wouldn't display properly. This setup completely solves that. |

For me, the whole point of this setup is that I have dock attached to one thunderbolt cord and two monitors to that dock, also ethernet, some usb3.0 devices etc. And it's just one cable. I know I could connect two monitors, taking up two slots but I don't want to do that.
If DisplayLink cannot provide this functionality i'll switch to other vendors if there are any that offer this. But on the driver page, the black announcement claims that this will be fixed with release of Mojave final driver. Starting to doubt that. |

You sometimes have to fiddle a bit with options in the AirPlay menu on the menu bar, but it will eventually work.
Not sure where all the whining came from, how about 'Thanks for taking the time Alban, sounds like we are getting there for users that can upgrade to Mojave'. I'm looking forward to it, especially the promise of improved performance. |

I believe I paid for this product. If this was opensource implementation then sure, but in this case it's someone's job to make this work.
So thank you ofcourse, but fix your product. |

Although new 5.0 driver for Mojave has come out it doesn't solve black screen problem on MBP 2018. The quote from release notes:
