In these cases usually the best thing is to make sure the primary screen is driven by the built-in GPU. So if you're only using the AOC as external, go in System Preferences->Displays->Arrangement and make sure your internal screen and not the AOC has the menubar (drag it on it if it's not).

Hi Carlo, I think I need to clarify - By "primary" monitor, I mean only monitor. I also have no internal screen- I am using a Mac Mini.

So to summarize, I am hoping to use the AOC monitor as the only monitor with a Mac Mini desktop. The monitor works fine with another display connected (apple cinema display via HDMI), but when it is the only monitor, that is when I experience these problems.

Any ideas?
