Apple plug-and-play driver for AOC monitor

I just purchased a new 23" AOC monitor to "clamshell" with my macbook. I have purchased the appropriate cables to connect with my macbook to discover that the monitor software doesnt have a mac driver and the AOC website says to download a Mac Plug and Play driver to work with the monitor. The monitor turns on but mirrors my macbook and jumbles up my desktop. I am unable to locate one of these "drivers" with apple's help. Is anyone familiar with this issue that might be able to recommend a solution? I would hate to take my brand new monitor back.

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Yes, when I got it I was told DVI was fine (and I'm sure it is) however it failed to mention it only came with the anceint VGA cables, not DVI (but it does have a DVI port). I will try and stop somewhere and pick up a DVI cable and cross my fingers that it works. I'm guessing going through two adapters it's not too happy.


Thanks again! Will cross my fingers tomorrow 🙂

Having read this thread, I was a bit apprehensive before hooking up my AOC i2367F monitor. As it turned out, my preliminary prep was far more than required: both on a PowerPC G4 and on a new retina-screen PowerBook it was plug and play all the way, no driver download and only autotuning with the presets. It's not in the same league as Apple's monitor, but for $140 I have no complaint. I don't know what additonal drivers others feel that they need.

mine is even weirder - i have a Macbook Air and hooked it up via thunderbolt VDI adapter for VGA connected to the AOC 2350 S about 6 weeks ago - took a bit of fiddling but works wonders


i dropped my MACBook and had to pay 590 US for a new Thunderbolt and USB port on the back right - paid sorted


now i plug in my HDI to the thunderbolt port and i get "no signal message" - thr port is working we tested it in the apple store


ive downloaded the AOC :driver zip" (i didnt have to use this before) but how do i get it to run or install ? if i double click on the zip filr i just get 4 files none that are "actionable" when i click or double click


the only other option is that the VGA/ VDI adapter has shorted ? thats why im getting a no signal message....

wasting loads of time and really frustrated !!!

I have a similar problem. My AOC monitor suddenly stopped working and just says HDMI no signal. It had worked perfectly before until one day when I connected it it stopped my laptop screen from working. Now whenever I start up the laptop the screen does not turn on until I close the lid and open it up again after a few minutes. My monitor still doesn't work though.

Also happened to me, the first time I connected the monitor, It's only 800 x 600 and I was expecting a 1600 x 900 resolution and doesn't have any options on the system preferences, the only option is the 800 x 600 resolution. I tried restarting the monitor, disconnecting and reconnecting it, this time I saw the other options to make my screen resolution to 1600 x 900
