Display issues - USB 2.0 to DVI Display Adapter

tawoyinka · 03-15-2014, 02:04 PM

Hey guys I have been searching through to see if anyone has had the same issues as me - been trying to resolve this for hours...

I am two monitors through a lenovo docking station where my laptop sits - one screen connected via vga works completely fine; the other screen is using a USB 2.0 to DVI external display adaptor but the screen is all messed up (discoloured / yellow/blue like in colour, flickers as I hover my mouse over it - I basically cannot use it)

Anyone had this issue before? I feel like there is some sort of compatibility issue I am not aware of - if so would like to sort out before I go off and buy another adapter...

I am using Lenovo T430 laptop and windows 7

Hi,

This sounds like a hardware issue. Which Lenovo docking station do you have?

Is your setup as follows?
Dock > VGA cable > Monitor
Dock > USB cable > Adapter > Monitor

Can you attach the output of this tool?
