Monitor problem ggOk my monitor was working fine except for the fact that the color seemms lighter than usual (im using an acer lcd monitor btw) so i pressed the menu button on the monitor and went to reset thinking it would put the monitor settings back to defualt after the monitor did whatever it does when yuo click reset.. the monitor nows has transparent thick lines rolling for the bottom of the monitor to the top.. is there anyway to fix that or have ai just killed my monitor? (hard to believe using the monitors reset option would kill it lol). My temp fis was to open the monitor menu again and set the brightness as high as it can go which made the lines "disappear" (i.e theyre probably still there but the screen is so bright you dont notice them) but now sites have a wierd metallic grey look to them (better than the lines though). However after a day of those settings now i cant use my pc for more than 30 secs without the screen fading to complete white making it unable to see/show anything. The only way to fix that problem was to put the brightness down to a normal setting but now the lines are there... any idea onm how to fix this or would i have to get a new monitor?

I have the same problem It was working fine and I went in the other room for a few minutes and came back and it had scrolling vertical BAR lines on it! I've only had it for about 2 weeks bought it from a friend that only used it a couple times.... He said he had never seen it do that way before... Anyway maybe it will fix it self can figure it out I have tried every set I can think of to fix it...
Anyway your not alone.

Sounds like you have a coincidental hardware failure. The reset button usually sets the monitor to factory default which is good in most uses. A rolling pattern on the screen is occasionally due to electronic interferrence such as a mobile phone in the vacinity. As you say your screen is fading completely suggests a hardware failure and nothing to do with your pressing the reset. If your monitor is less than 3 years old (standard screen warranty) I would contact the manufacturer and they may send you a new one.

Montor has colored lines on left side

Are we talking thin vertical lines that run all the way from the top of the screen to the bottom? If so, this usually indicates a failure of the chip controlling that line of pixels.Unfortunately, there is no easy repair for this and the screen will need to be replaced.

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:

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Overall, 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. Experiment with different settings and configurations to find the settings that work best for you.

Any Drivers for ACER AL1912

With very few exceptions, LCD monitors do not require a driver. Almost always, and display setting issue is an issue with the Display adapter (Video Card) driver. The plug and Play monitor driver that is native to Windows should work just fine.

Connecting an external monitor to acer 5720

I have had this before with my Dell Latitude C540/640. I don't know the ACER 5720 but here's a couple possible fixes for you.

1. Press the function key ( "fn" key, generally a blue key or blue lettering and usually in the bottom left corner of your keyboard) and press F8 (may be a different key on your laptop, again, not familure with the acer. The key usually has either CRT/LCD printed on it, or two monitors on it, one its just an outline of a monitor and the other is filled in. This will run you laptop through the three monitor options it has. (LCD - LCD & External - Just External)

2. Try closing and opening the lid of your laptop. Sounds a bit strange but it works sometimes for me. My guess is when you close you screen it would "dim/turn off" the LCD and re-opening it convinces it to turn the screen back on.

Hope this helps!

Monitor problem

It sounds to me like your monitor is going......if the computer itself is functioning fine, and you have even reset the monitor to the default, and still having problems, I would say it's time for a new monitor. You can find reasonable ones on ebay. I got two 19" monitors off of there and I am thrilled with them. Just be sure to check the ratings of the seller before bidding or buying.
Good luck.
