Talk:DisplayLink

Created this wiki article today
I added this page today after reading this article on Engadget where a reader mentioned there was no DisplayLink article on Wikipedia. I used the DisplayLink website for reference, but tried to stick to the "just the facts." This is my first Wikipedia article so hopefully it's been done correctly. slackbus (talk) 18:37, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Actual product information for general users?
Would someone with more knowledge on display link be able to put a little more information on the actual product for general users? I can try to do it once i understand the product myself. Vasant56 (talk) 13:49, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

How does this compare to the X Window System?
How does this compare to the X Window System? Apparently this product is simply a network-transparent Window System that uses USB by default and runs on Microsoft Windows. It kludges around MS Windows' lack of a clean Window System protocol by directly scraping the Graphics Framebuffer. X did it better 20 years ago, and still does! 218.248.64.145 (talk) 17:54, 18 May 2010 (UTC)


 * General users want to know simpler stuff like: how does it help me right now step by step? what if I suspect it's malfunctioning and how do I turn it off if I don't need it?  I tried to "End process tree" from Windows Task Manager and it came right back, so what is the service that keeps calling it back?  It says it's a system tray item, but I don't see it in my system tray. It says it's a UI, but where are the settings, where is the UI?  And yes, I do want to know how this compares to xwindows, and other remote windowing systems commonly used on mac, linux and citrix.  24.225.67.218 (talk) 17:32, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

FPGA vs semiconductors
The sentence "...signalling a change in the company's business plan from FPGA-based systems to semiconductors." does not make sense, as FPGAs are constructed from semiconductors. There is no attribution added here, so I am left to speculate that perhaps this refers to a shift from FPGA to ASIC-based semiconductor electronics? Nordithen (talk) 16:20, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
