acer al1916w resolution problems

[scop]

follow the steps, I'm sure that will work.

I restarted the system, mean while I have deactivated DDC / CI from Monitors' Settings Menu, then un-pluged My Monitor from CPU, and when I restarted the OS and pluged the Monitor I found the resolution 1440 x 900. Great Work,

Amazing, this fixed my problem too, so rare that these kinds of workarounds work so well!

I followed the above instructions, to clarify the procedure that worked for me, after rebooting I deactivated DDC/CI from the Acer menu (use the "menu" button), then I unplugged the cable from the computer, then unplugged the power cable from the socket. Then I rebooted the computer, and then I plugged the power cord back into the power socket and then reattached the VGA adapter to the computer (this was a laptop).

After that the 1440 X 900 resolution was back and working!

Okay darkchyld. I just purchased an Acer 20" monitor. I have the same common problem. My resolution only goes to 1280x768. I believe I need 1440x900 resolution, at least that's what my Acer 19" monitor is using. The text is horrible and I'm not getting the full use of my widescreen monitor. Please give me step-by-step instruction for everything I need to do to get my settings correct. Thank you, Summer

Solution to un-clear font at 1280x768 is: right click on desktop and select display propertiea/Settings/Advance/ Monitor then set frequency to 60Hertz
