Hi there -

I would also like to know about the fix and/or workaround. I'm using the Sony Vaio Pro 13 with the same AOC monitor and have the same issues. The monitor works fine on my old Dell Win XP laptop with USB 2.0. However, the Vaio Pro 13 only has USB 3.0 ports.

I was able to get the monitor to display without flickering or freezing/refreshing by using a hub. The 3.0 portion of the Y cable is plugged into the 2.0 hub which is then plugged into a 3.0 port of the laptop. The 2.0 plug from the Y cable is plugged directly into the other 3.0 port of the laptop (the port that is capable of charging).

At first glance, everything looks great. The menu bar and desktop look perfect. However, when I drag something from the laptop to the AOC monitor, the quality and aspect ratio are not maintained. Whatever I drag to the monitor appears grainy and the size of the window I moved over increases dramatically... if it only occupies 25% of my laptop screen, it expands to at least 75% of the screen when moved to the AOC monitor.

My DisplayLink drivers are up to date.

I hope this helps w/ your fix and possibly a workaround in the meantime!
