Hi Philip, if it's a DisplayLink device it needs a DisplayLink driver. It's a matter of the communication protocol used over USB rather than the display technology (LCD panel or projector lamp). FYI, the projectors I deal with do not use the DisplayLink protocol.
About you problem, it sounds like a resolution problem.
I read that the the optimal resolution for your USB monitor is 1920x1080, but your laptop resolution is 1366x768. So I guess the monitor (or the driver) is not upscaling the image. And maybe it is not able to do that at all.
BTW I don't have any Displaylink device and I don't use Windows at all so I am afraid I won't be able to give any further advice.
Ciao, Antonio
