Troubleshooting
1. The cursor has disappeared
If the status remains in the extended mode but the docking station is disconnected, the desktop will still extend to the add-on monitor. The cursor may not be found on the primary monitor. If it happens, connect the add-on monitor through the docking station again or keep moving the mouse.
2. Video playback in extended mode
If the video or DVD playback quality is poor or low performance in extended mode, play it back on the primary monitor instead of the add-on monitor.
3. In Extended Mode, the add-on monitor has a black border around the desktop
This happens when the resolutions used by the add-on monitor are greater than the resolutions used by the primary monitor. To solve the problem, configure the add-on monitor to use the same resolution as the primary monitor.
4. The add-on monitor is flickering
This is usually caused by a low refresh rate.
Mirror Mode – Increase the refresh rate of the main monitor. This will in turn increase the refresh rate of the add-on monitor, stopping the flickering.
Extended Mode – Increase the refresh rate of the add-on monitor.
Troubleshooting
5. The video does not display properly in Full-Screen Mode.
Try the following tips to improve the smoothness of video playback:
a. Reduce the resolution of the display.
b. Use the adapter in Extended Mode.
c. Terminate any other CPU-intensive applications running on the computer.
d. Some media players require DirectX hardware support to correctly operate. Try a different media player that requires less DirectX support.
e. Drag the media player to the add-on screen and close the player. Restart the player and it should open on the add-on monitor. Now try playing the media file again.
f. Reduce the hardware acceleration level of the primary display (NOT the add-on monitor) to levels 1, 2 or 3, then restart the media player. The hardware acceleration can be found by right-clicking on the desktop and clicking "Properties > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshoot."
g. The video playback may be unusual when the add-on monitor is mirroring the primary display and there is another extended screen connected to the computer. The extended screen must be disabled before the content will be cloned correctly to the add-on monitor.
