ACER AL1916S After booting my computer the screen appeared a dark shade of blue. I have checked the cables and they are fine. I have rebooted the drivers for the monitor and the graphics card (onboard intel graphics media accelerator 900) I believe the problem to be within the moniter settings. I.E the RGB settings, however it would take too long to adjust these colours mannually. I have restored the settings on the monitor to defult but they are not correct. The monitor apperars to be working properly (i.e the colour is fine withing the onscreen menu) but my windows display is poor. Could you please assist on either a solution or the correct R , G ,B settings for this monitor. Many thanks A much distressed Steve Woodward

I have an Acer AL1916 which I bought new in March 06. It became faulty when the colours changed. In addition the whole image shifted to the left a few inches (now and again). Like yourselves I thought it was the cable / PC but it was the same on a seperate unit. Concluded faulty - so back to Acer it went. They repaired it and it came back with the colours back as they should.

However, 10 months on, it's done it again. I turned it on Monday and the screens gone back to a horrible purple hue.

So back to Acer it goes again. I'm not impressed at all. Temped to fight and try and get my money back. Clearly these screens have a reoccuring fault and it sounds like you guys have the same fault.
