I have a mid-2015 15" MacBook Pro running the latest public OSX (10.13.3). I installed the latest public DisplayLink driver and plugged in my AOX 1659WFUX. The display works, but the DPI isn't right:
- the laptop's retina display switches to make everything a little larger (I'd guess 10%) when the external monitor is plugged in compared to not attached. No idea why it changes the built-in display.
- the USB monitor shows text, etc. that are pretty small (for a 16" 1080P display). Yes I know I could switch to 'scaled' on the settings but that changes the resolution into a blurry mess. It seems that somehow the DPI of the external monitor is wrong and should be using a much lower value.

Any ideas?
