Standby and Hibernate, Shut Down and Restart
When the adapter is connected to a computer and an external monitor, if the computer goes into
standby or hibernate mode, the external monitor display goes blank.
When the computer returns to an active state, the external monitor display keeps the same
settings it had before the computer went into standby or hibernate mode. However, if the
secondary monitor was set for extended mode, windows that were previously on the external
monitor will not move back to that secondary monitor. Also, if the secondary monitor is in
extended mode and the computer requires a login after standby or hibernate mode, the login
screen appears on the primary computer monitor, not the external monitor.
If the computer is shut down, restarted and logged in, again the secondary monitor returns to the
same mode as it was before shutdown.
Inferred Modes
Some modes in the DisplayLink GUI are shown with [ ] around them.
This occurs when connecting a monitor with a preferred mode higher than the maximum
supported resolution of the DisplayLink device.
In this case, the preferred resolution of the monitor cannot be supported. However we add lower
resolutions of the same aspect ratio to be tried with the monitor. Modes in square brackets [ ]
imply that these are modes not reported by the monitor, but have been made available by the
DisplayLink software for you to try.
