FAQ
VL-U3VH-S Recommended USB 3.0 xHCI host
VL-U3VH-S is base on USB 3.0 transfer architecture, so we have very high dependency in xHCI host performance. But there are many variant USB 3.0 host in the market. For getting better user experience, we recommend you running VL-U3VH-S under the following USB 3.0 host.
Why is the screen resolution only 800×600?
Our VL-U3VH-S only operate at 800×600 when it’s connected to the PC at USB 2.0 speed. Make sure the computer has a USB 3.0 port. USB 3.0 ports have an “SS” next to the USB symbol and most have blue plastic centers. If the computer does not have a USB 3.0 port, the maximum resolution will be 800×600. If the computer has USB 3.0 ports, make sure to connect the device to one of those ports. If the resolution is still 800×600, try different USB 3.0 ports.
Please check the following to see if something caused this issue:
- Check if your system display adapter driver is installed properly.
- If you have DisplayLink devices installed in your system, please remove the driver from Control Panel Programs and Features since these kind of devices may influence the performance.
- If you have the adapter connected to a USB 3.0 Hub, connect it directly to a USB 3.0 port on your computer instead.
- Out of date USB3.0 xHCI hosts may have some compatibility issues due to the specification. It could cause either blank/blinking screen, or only low resolutions supported. Please connect the device to the latest USB 3.0 xHCI hosts.
