It can be that it is nothing getting all the color signal from the PC, I would check all the pins at both ends of the cable first, or try it with another PC to narrow down the problem.
Please post back what you find, we do not want to open it up unless we have too, and if it is the monitor, the only way to fix it will be replacing the logic board (the board that the video cable is plugged into).

Click Start
Click Control Panel
Click Power Options
Change the setting for the monitor from a "few minutes" to "60 minutes" or to "never".

It's perfectly "normal" -- your LCD monitor is adjusting itself, automatically, to the output from your computer's video-card
(e.g., 800 by 600 by 60 Hertz).

Restart your computer in "Safe Mode", and reset the display-resolution to 800 by 600 by 60 Hertz. Then, restart,
and then everything will be OK. When it is, try to increase the resolution, incrementally.

Please check all the pins on both ends of the VGA connector, more likely to have bent pins or not seated properly.

I would get it repair under warranty ASAP, the power supply may have gone out.<br /> It will void the warranty if you open it up.<br /> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"><a href="http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums">http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums</a></span><br /> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> </span><br /> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague</a></span>

depends on your OS, in windows 7, right click on desktop and click on screen resolution.
Windows xp , right click desktop, properties

Monitors don't need drivers, video cards do - and all drivers are free. If you are asked to pay for one close that page immediately, it's a scam.
All your problem come from the fact that you are using the default VGA driver - just get the one for your pc and all will be OK.

Hello,

If your monitor is freezing up, this could be a virus problem or the hard disc on the personal computer is over loaded, meaning the hard disc is nearly full or almost full, you will need to scan your system to ensure the system is virus free, if that did not solve the problem, ensure delete unuseful program or data from the hard disc and also delete unusable icon on the screen of your monitor. this will help solve the problem.

Take care.

Press the 'OSD' (On Screen Display) button on the front/bottom of the LCD, to show a bunch of menu items. Choose "brightness", and adjust it to a darker value.

Connect the monitor to another (desktop or laptop) computer, to see if the problem "follows" the monitor.

Connect a different monitor to your computer, to see if your computer is sending the "wrong" video-output to your monitor.

One missing color could just as well be caused by the graphics card (or chip) or, if using a multi-pin interface connector, it could simply be a pin that isn't contacting anymore. The problem is, that red drive is missing.
Remove the end(s) of the video connection cable and reinsert several times to 'wipe' the contacts.
If the problem is constant and you have the opportunity, swap your Acer with another monitor or try yours with a different computer. You need to roughly locate which electronics is at fault and that is the easiest way.

THIS DEAD PIXEL.SO THIS IS NOT REPAIRABLE.IT WORK NORMALLY.DON,T FEARING.

You can check by yourself if the problem is brought by a video card. Disconnect your present video card from the motherboard. It is the hardware where vga cable from the monitor is connected to on the back of your computer. Replace it with your back up video card. (a pci or agp graphics card will do) connect the vga cable and restart your computer. If you don't have a back up video card, find in the computer a built in video card, enable this on the cmos'bios setup) connect the vga cable thru this and turn on your computer. If the lines went out then it is the video card that needs replacement. If the lines still occur despite the procedure, I suggest you bring your unit to a credible technician unless you have the skills to open your lcd monitor and find the problem in it by yourself.

Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, blown fuses, poor solder joints, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed ACER monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums
Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.

hi, have you checked running the monitor on all the outputs? dvi? vga? flickering is caused most times by bad connections either in the video cable, or on the video board, or power board inside the monitor. i know those monitors pretty well, i'm willing to bet if you opened up the monitor and looked at the power supply board, you would probably find worn/blown capacitors. this could very well account for the flickering. electrolytic capacitors store power for parts of the circuit that require lots of power to run. when they go bad(overheat) they pop up at the top, sometimes leak a little fluid. they are replaceable, need to be soldered in, and you can find them at most electronic stores abundantly, but you should check everything else first, the video cables(dvi,vga) before opening the monitor.

The resolution from your PC is too high for the monitor to display, it should be set to the native resolution of this monitor. But it is possible to the problem inside the monitor if the resolution is correctly setup.

Bro change your starting capacitor on its the same value. because some of that problem appears in your power supply components.

You need to check the power secton to see if you do have 5vdc (for logic) and 12~18vdc (for backlight inverter) in the power supply first.

Change the resolution in your PC control panel/display settings tab.

Please clarify first. Have you installed windows 7 or you had just downloaded it? Let me help you. Thanks
