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)

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

Just got a new macbook pro and also had a problem connecting my existing AOC monitor to it. After a bit of searching (during which stumbled upon this thread) found this page with iOS drivers: http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/osx. The monitor started working after installing and restarting.

Trying to set up an AOC i2353PH monitor and it says there is no signal. Any direction you can give for Ed and me would be helpful! Will be calling the company tomorrow.

I finally found a solution by updating to the latest driver and it is working fine now. You should be able to fine it here: http://us.aoc.com/support/downloads

Hope this helps.

How do I install the drivers from the .zip file?

Just double click the zip file and follow the instructions. Should be just like downloading any software.

At the bottom under "support" this is needed for 10.8 and 10.9 and if you have upgraded from 10.8 to 10.9 you will need to re install the driver.
