HP Monitor 1600x900 thinks it's showing 1440x900

Hi,

Just joined the forums to say that I'm coming across this issue, and hopefully can help nail it down a little.

I've just bought a whole bunch of HP 20" monitors for my workplace, and I'm finding when giving users new Windows 10 laptops, the Displaylink drivers (even the newest ones) are making the displays blurry...

But it seems to happen only on these monitors with their native resolution. All other monitors that I have are fine.

Interestingly, the resolution is 1600x900, but when I look at the monitor menu itself (using the buttons on the front of the monitor), it thinks it's showing 1440x900, which may explain the text blurring. This is when connected via VGA with a docking station.

When connected via VGA straight into the VGA port of the laptop and not the docking station, the display is fine, the monitor reports 1600x900, and everything is sharp.

The monitors are the HP ProDisplay P202.

This seems to DEFINITELY be a DisplayLink driver issue.

Hopefully someone can respond - and let me know if you need some more info.

Thanks!
