Apple Intentionally Disabled HiDPI on M1 Macs to Push 4K Monitors Sales
I've had great results with BetterDummy[0] for my M1 make with a non-4K external monitor.
It's free and open source with an optional Pro version. I've been using it longer than the Pro version has been around, so I'm not familiar with what advantages it may have over the free version.

You might want to try BetterDummy to add a virtual display to the Mac if there is not a physical one already connected. Might solve the black screen issue.

After 2 and a half hours, I finally managed to get MacOS to recognise my LG Ultrawide as a HiDPI display. Thank you to the developer of OneKeyHiDPI for letting me have properly sized UI elements and scaled text at native 4K resolution!

Displaylink and Ubuntu on M1
So I'm currently on Ubuntu 22.10 with Mesa and asahi-edge kernel. You need both to allow using primary GPU as source output. I'm using evdi 1.13.1 with the correction to set the module to the 1.12.0 to run the script displaylink from Synaptics for Ubuntu.

Help needed: Can't install DisplayLink Drivers for my dock. Fedora 37 Kernal 6.2 Evdi 1.12.0, RPM Release isn't working
The RPM version never worked for me. It's only useful for getting the services installed. After that clone the repo from https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi and change to the devel branch. Run make and sudo make install. If you use SecureBoot you also need to sign the resulting evdi.ko with your key. After that restart displaylink.service or reboot and it should work. At least it did for me. I's been a while since I had to use it.

Multimonitor Issue - Hardware or Driver?
I'm afraid this might be a hardware issue, maybe with the cable. I don't have a second cable to swap out unfortunately. A new one won't be here until Saturday. And it seems like a hell of a coincidence for the cable to fail when there's other issues reported within the last few days that seem very similar.
