Umm...usually if it is a desk top there will be buttons either on the side, front or back or even the top, one looks like a sun and another looks like a square thats normally half white and half black. they are your brightness and contrast...push either end of the buttons to adjust more bright or less bright, more contrast or less contrast.

SOURCE: Acer 19 " LCD Computer monitor

By initiating the on screen menu, you navigate to the brihghtness etc.This can also be related to contrast. Get a keyboard with zoom keys that will make it east to enlarge text.Mine is a logitech wireless S510 and its a great bargain and comes with mouse.the best solution is, however to buy a 42 inch or larger display and use that as you monitor. I can never go back!

SOURCE: brightness/contrast

Sometimes all you have to do is press the left or right adjustment buttons, one will bring up contrast adjustment, the other brightness.
 Otherwise simply browse through the menu settings.

I have no audio on P215H LCD Monitor

The audio cord is called HDMI, it's actually audio and video, now just because the monitor you have has a HDMI port does not mean your PC has one, you need a onboard video port that is HDMI or a graph card with HDMI.

Mostly good motherboards have HDMI or cards.

***** Now, the model you posted it does not have speakers so how do you except it to have audio ?

There would be HDMI on the monitor if it had speakers.

I'am trying to take apart my ACER P215H LCD monitor and I can't seem to figure it out. Do you know how?

Hi krisusn

The internal area of PC and CCTV Monitors and LCD TVs is a very unsafe working environment for an inexperienced repair person, containing capacitors that store very high charges capable of seriously injuring and even killing someone even when the device is disconnected from the mains.

As a result, PC and CCTV Monitors and LCD TVs are designed to be deliberately user-repair unfriendly. The frame, base and back cover are often held together with several hidden screws.

You do not say what the fault is that you are trying to resolve. I strongly suggest you refer any repair to an experienced LCD Monitor LCD TV Repair technician or at least add a comment or clarification to this question in case other repair options are available to the fault you attempting to diagnose and repair.

I hope this helps.

I was dusting my acer monitor and microsoft wireless keyboard and i must have hit something because now my monitor is reading sideways and the mouse wont work with it either. Can you tell me what I need to...

Sounds like you changed the orientation of your display settings from landscape to portrait.
In Windows 7 you can go to the control panel, choose display and click "Change Display Settings" on the left side.

From there choose the "Orientation" dropdown and change to your desired setting (most likely landscape)

Good luck

Place your left hand on the bottom of the monitor and your right hand on the top of the monitor.

Holding onto the top and the bottom of the monitor.

While holding the base level, GENTLY push your left hand away and bring your right hand forward.

I had the same issue with my P215H from Acer. I downloaded the drivers from the acer website and installed them. I also changed the refresh rate from 59 Hz to 60 Hz. My monitor is much clearer now.
