I have the Targus USB 3.0 universal docking station (same one shown on the DisplayLink homepage as being "DisplayLink Certified" for USB 3.0) - but my laptop only recognizes it when it is connected to my USB 2.0 port on my laptop (Samsung NP700Z5A-S0AUS). It appears to function when connected to 2.0 port (e.g. extend across dual monitors, audio works fine, etc.), but when I attempt to stream video for Netflix (for example) the performance is very spotty. This is especially noticeable in full screen mode.

The symptoms are:
- When first start a video the audio is playing but the screen is blank.
- If I right click on the screen the video shows up as well (but not left click)
- While the video is playing it is very herky-jerky - not smooth at all.
- If I minimize the window and then maximize again, the audio still plays but the video is blank (the window doesn't fully "come back" after minimizing)

Is this related to only being on the slower speed 2.0 port? Any suggestions for how to improve this?
