Q: 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)

Can you post a link where it says on the AOC website to download a Plug and Play driver? I can't believe they got it that wrong.
A P&P driver is something that comes built-in to the monitor, hence the name. It eliminates the need to download a driver because the driver is already inside the monitor and the act of plugging it into the host computer causes the display's driver information to be read automatically. The whole point is to avoid having to download and install drivers, so if the website really says that, it's wrong.
