i use a Dell D6000 with Displaylink chip. there is 1 monitor connected via displayport. i use this with a macbook 16" from 2019.

the following behavior:
i can connect and disconnect the macbook from the displaylink, everything works.
if i now unplug the macbook and take it with me somewhere else, then open the lid - then i am in a strange intermediate state which i have captured here once on a video.

the touchbar reacts. offers me the possibility to mirror or extend the display. but nothing is shown. the actual screen remains black.

Just the current case is from my macbook 16" from 2019. a few weeks old.
but the behavior also happened with the previous model with 15" from 2017. Both under catalina and under mojave. only slowly it annoys me so much that I consider not to use another displaylink product anymore.
