AOC Monitor

I have an iPad 8th generation and I have a AOC e1659fwu monitor. I keep getting the messages that my iPad does not support this accessory and the is not enough power to support this accessory. How can I get this monitor to work on my iPad?

iPad usually uses AirPlay 2 to an AirPlay 2 receiver, or via an adapter to an external display.

Connect iPad to a TV, projector, or monitor with a cable - Apple Support

I don’t know what the maximum supported resolution might be, and don’t see it in the tech specs.

iPad (8th generation) - Technical specifications

I suspect it’ll be at most 2160-by-1620.

I don’t think this’ll work. You could try connecting to this USB monitor via a powered USB hub, as it would appear this monitor is trying to draw (too much) power from the iPad. But the bigger problem is the lack of DisplayLink support. This monitor lists host software installation requirements, and the manual does not list any available iPad software, and does not list iPad support.
