Acer V173 LCD Monitor

The monitor natively features a standard 15-pin VGA port (and DVI on select dual-input models). Because modern PCs and laptops rarely have VGA outputs, you will need an active VGA-to-HDMI or VGA-to-USB-C adapter to send video from your computer to the monitor.

This error occurs when the signal coming from your computer exceeds the maximum display parameters supported by the panel. To resolve it, adjust your computer's display settings to match the monitor's native resolution of 1280 x 1024 at a 60 Hz or 75 Hz refresh rate.

Press the Menu button on the front control panel to open the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu. Use the directional arrow buttons to navigate to display settings like Brightness, Contrast, H-Position, or V-Position, then press Menu again to select and adjust the levels.

Built-in speakers depend on the specific sub-model variant. Models with "bm" in the product name (e.g., V173 bm) feature integrated 2 x 1 W stereo speakers and a $3.5\text{mm}$ audio jack. Standard models (e.g., V173 b) carry video capabilities only and lack internal speakers.

Ensure the VGA video cable is firmly screwed into both the monitor and the computer. Confirm your computer is powered on and not in sleep/standby mode. If you are using an active video adapter, verify the adapter itself is receiving adequate power.

Yes. The back of the monitor features standard VESA 100 x 100mm mounting holes. You can remove the default desktop stand and attach any VESA-compliant dual-monitor desk arm or wall-mount plate using standard M4 screws.
