I am using a Dell docking station to connect to dual monitors and I am only able to see duplicate displays on both screens instead of an extended display. On the windows machines i am able to do this but not on the MacBook Pro.
Hi, SBRose… maybe i can help you ? is this the Dell docking station you are speaking of ? https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-ca/000124312/dell-thunderbolt-dock-wd19tb-and-apple-usb-c-hosts… what model/year of manufacture is your MacBook Pro ? If it’s one of the ones with an M1 chip in it… dell says it won’t work for extended displays due to a limitation of the M1 chip… here’s a link for that info : https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-ca/000181877/industry-standard-compatibility-with-dell-usb-type-c-and-thunderbolt-docks-wd19-wd19s-wd19tb-wd19tbs-docking-stations… here’s a link to the latest DisplayLink drivers for Mac monterey and Big Sur : https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/downloads/macos…
well, i tried… didn’t think i was successful though… dell doesn’t support mac stuff as a general rule…

5K display with 1 HDMI 2.0 input and two DisplayPort 1.4 inputs.
Macs do not use downloaded profiles/"Drivers". Macs query the display and the display responds with its capabilities.
Most Dell docking stations can not handle more than one large display, so you need to provide model information for your docking station. Also, EXACTLY what cables and adapter are being used to drive this. Mention each and every cable, adapter, and dock in order for the computer to the display.
Are you doing high-performance operations on this display such as Video Editing or Gaming? or simple stuff like spreadsheets. stock quotes, and program listings?
I need drivers for the Samsung Odyssey G9
