Troubleshooting
External displays are not detected.
Ensure the DisplayLink driver is installed correctly and is the latest version. Restart your computer after driver installation. Verify that the HDMI cables are securely connected to both the converter and the monitors. Try connecting to a different USB port on your computer.
Displays are not outputting 4K@60Hz resolution.
Confirm that your computer's USB port supports the necessary bandwidth (USB 3.0 or higher). Ensure the connected HDMI cables are rated for 4K@60Hz. Check your operating system's display settings to select the correct resolution and refresh rate. The host computer's graphics processing power also plays a role.
Laptop is not charging when connected via USB-C PD.
Verify that your laptop supports USB Power Delivery over its USB-C port. Ensure you are using a compatible USB-C power adapter (minimum 65W recommended for charging and optimal performance). Confirm the USB-C cable connecting the power adapter to the converter supports PD passthrough.
Poor video performance or stuttering.
Close unnecessary applications running on your host computer to free up CPU and GPU resources. Ensure the DisplayLink driver is up to date. Reduce the resolution or refresh rate on one or both displays if your system is struggling. Check for potential overheating of the converter or host computer.
