March 13, 24 - Posted in: 2024, Tech Talk by Kevin Quinn, Thee DocKtor

Targus has validated the new DisplayLink Manager Graphics Connectivity Release 1.10.1 for macOS Sonoma 14, Ventura 13, and Monterey 12 including M1, M2, and M3 based Macbooks. The release is available online for applicable Targus Truly Universal Docking Stations.

Targus validated Release 1.10.1 with Targus Media Access Control (MAC) Address Clone Docking Station Utility (TMAC) and it will function with any Targus Universal Docking Stations models DOCK1XX, DOCK3XX and DOCK5XX.

macOS Limitations

- Protected content from iTunes and other players is not visible on built-in graphics when DisplayLink screens are connected. (17087)
- The list of available resolutions and the default resolution for 4K displays depends on the type of connection (HDMI or DisplayPort).

To see a more complete list of resolutions, follow these steps:

1. Open the Displays preference in System Preferences.
2. Go to the preferences panel for the DisplayLink screen.
3. While keeping the option (alt) key pressed, select the "Scaled" option for the list of resolutions.

- Manual Ethernet speed setting is not retained across reboots. (20973)
- Since macOS Ventura 13, USB Restricted Mode protection is enabled by default on Apple Silicon MacBooks. This requires users to explicitly allow new USB peripherals, including Targus Universal Docking Stations.

- It is not possible to unlock the MacBook via Apple Watch when screen saver is running/enabled.
