First check the resolution and refresh rate for your video graphics adapter. LCDs are apt to blink when not at 60 Hz. (Recently I had another client with that issue.) For Windows 7, right click on the desktop and choose Screen Resolution. Click on Advanced Settings and the Monitor tab. (Other versions of Windows will have this in a similar area or Control Panel > System > Display in some combination. Mac and Unix have this setting somewhere as well.) Also make sure that you are set for the native resolution or one supported by both the monitor and the graphics adapter.

Next check the temperature of the system. Improve the cooling of the system if the graphics card is overheating.

I hope this helps.

I need the acer monitor drivers for windows seven al1706a

As I'm sure you're aware Acer doesn't offer a specific driver for this monitor. However, any driver for your video card that offers a 1280 x 1024 screen resolution should work. What screen resolutions does your current driver offer? If you want to update your video driver download a newer video driver from the firm that made your video chip. You can find out what you've got by launching Device Manager. (click on the start button and type device manager into the search box) If you decide to update your video driver click on Display adapters entry in Device Manager and right click on the video chip entry that will emerge as a subgroup. Select update driver software from the choices displayed when you right click. Then tell it where the driver you've downloaded is located.

Is there a function key I can use to get a full screen of a video or a you tube video.

Press F11 for full screen. N.B: After pressing F11 it will not display title bar & task bar. The best way is just click on the button. shoyo_4.jpg If not it will display in this format without showing title bar and task bar. shoyo_3.jpg

My Acer Aspire one screen flicker, I am running windows xp with 1 GB ram, I try to connect a external lcd monitor, the monitor display do not flicker. It seems that if I don't use full screen, the flicker...

Please check the refresh rate of the display. If it is more than 60Mhz, it could cause your LCD to flicker.

Go to your display options and adjust the refresh rate.

If that does not fix it, it could be a possible problem with video card.

Try updating the driver software for the integrated video card.

Good Luck Kumpadre!

I have tried all option on the Acer screen so the

The resolution is done at the PC video output setting, not at the monitor, you should set the PC video resolution to be at monitor native resolution: 1920 X 1200 @60Hz This will give the correct aspect ratio of your display.

Check connecting this cable properly, or try removing this cable see what is on screen display... if you find some message on screen

then your monitor is having no issue, but could be display card problem..or some other issue with motherboard itself

My monitor displays images in stetched full screen format

the description you gave was the long way right click on my computer, select properties then device manager, you will be in the same place but lots faster, plug and play does not identify the monitor or its compatible display resolutions, right click on the desktop select properties then display settings, go into advanced tab and look at the monitor, and the adapter, you can play with the setting until you find one that works, 1400 x 900 may not be supported by the video card(adapter) so that may be why your loosing the video settings.
hope this helps.

Driver

If you mean that you can't get the full color response and can not change the screen resolution beyond 640 X 480 and only 256 colors.
Sounds like you need to load the "Mother Board" driver for the VGA port. If you have a PCI video card, make sure your onboard video is turned off or disabled in the CMOS setup.
