The resolution issue you are describing sounds like a video card driver issue. You must determine what video card or chipset you have and apply the appropriate driver. The Acer x193w monitor is plug and play, it will display whatever the OS sends to it provided it is within it display range and 1440x900 is definitely within that range.

Input not supported error

The native resolution for the x193w monitor is 1440x900. The monitor will only allow certain resolutions. You may need to create a custom resolution using the nvidia control panel.

I cannot find ideal settings are for my Acer X193W Monitor

The ideal settings for your Acer X193W LCD monitor will depend on your personal preferences and the specific tasks you are using the monitor for. However, there are some general guidelines you can follow to ensure that the monitor is set up and configured optimally.
Here are some recommendations for setting up your Acer X193W LCD monitor:
  1. Adjust the position and orientation of the monitor to ensure that it is comfortable and easy to view. You may need to adjust the height and angle of the monitor, as well as the distance between your eyes and the screen, to find the most comfortable and ergonomic viewing position.
  2. Set the resolution of the monitor to the highest supported resolution. This will provide the sharpest and most detailed image, and will ensure that the monitor is able to display high-resolution graphics and text clearly.
  3. Adjust the brightness and contrast settings to a comfortable level. The ideal brightness and contrast settings will depend on the ambient lighting in your workspace, as well as your personal preferences.
  4. Configure the color settings to match the color gamut of your primary display. This will ensure that the colors on the Acer X193W LCD monitor are consistent with the colors on your primary display, and will prevent any color shifting or mismatching between the two displays.
  5. Enable any additional display features or settings that may be available on the Acer X193W LCD monitor, such as advanced color settings, color temperature controls, or dynamic contrast controls. These settings can help improve the overall image quality and viewing experience on the monitor.

What is the recomended resolution display setting for my Acer X193w monitor

Hi there,

A computer monitor is made of pixels (short for "picture element").



Monitor resolution is measured in pixels, width by height. 640 x 480 resolution means that the screen is 640 pixels wide by 480 tall, an aspect ratio of 4:3. With the exception of one resolution combination (1280 x 1024 uses a ratio of 5:4), all aspect ratios are the same.

Hope this initial information helps. Let me hear from you again for any clarifications.

Thank you for using fixya.com

What should my screen resolution be

The maximum resolution for the Acer X193W LCD Monitor is 1440 x 90, which is a really good resolution range. It will depend also on what kind of graphics/video card and motherboard your computer has which can help determine if you can use the Acer at that maximum resolution.

Windows XP Pro. driver for the acer LCD Monitor X193W

Hi,

To my knowledge, it is compatible and certainly would work with XP. Since this monitor has both DVI and VGA inputs make is compatible for most video cards or even a built-in video of the PC. If for some reason the Acer X193W would not work with your Windows XP PC, possible reasons are:
  • Screen Resolution and/or Screen refresh Rate of the PC's Display Properties too high, try lowering them down;
  • hardware fault either on the monitor or video card;
  • incorrect/missing drivers of the video card;
  • it is being hooked as a secondary monitor and the dual/twin view is not activated.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.
