#PLUGABLE USB VGA 165 DRIVER UPDATE#

These may work (they’re likely based on standard VESA timings), but it’s a kind of “buyer beware” thing – for example, you may notice when connected to your laptop VGA that you can set higher refresh rates like 120, but you may notice the picture isn’t properly centered, etc.

The main GPU driver is offering modes/refresh rates that are beyond what the monitor specifically advertises. Here’s what’s happening: there’s kind of a philosophical difference between what your main GPU’s driver is doing and what DisplayLink driver is doing. Unfortunately, there’s not going to be a way to force the DisplayLink adapter to any higher refresh rates than what the monitor offers in it’s EDID. Thanks for your patience here on Presidents’ Day. What do you see when you open the advanced properties dialog of the monitor? Now on an LCD, I can’t notice a difference, so it would be interesting if we could make a similar change on your CRT and notice the refresh rate difference. I’m able to open advanced properties on the display and change the refresh rate setting to 75Hz. For example, running a Plugable adapter on a system with an Intel GPU, and connecting with a Samsung SyncMaster 941BW LCD monitor running at 1440x900 the default refresh rate is 60Hz.

Then other refresh rates offered in the EDID may also be offered in Windows, plus a fixed set of Windows modes (1024x768,…). By default, the DisplayLink driver will tell the DisplayLink chip to set the monitor’s one native preferred mode, and leave it at that (whether it’s 60Hz, 75Hz or other).

The DisplayLink chip itself can definitely do a 75Hz update rate on a 17' CRT (I assume your monitor is at most 1600x1200 resolution? The adapter can handle much higher pixel clocks)īut the default resolution and refresh rate is determined by what modes the monitor tells the OS (and DisplayLink driver) through the Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) it returns. Thanks for posting! I can give some background, but whether a higher refresh rate can be offered, depends on a combination of factors.
