Acer 185w80ps Driver: Tips and Tricks for Troubleshooting Common Issues



Making sure you have the correct and most up-to-date monitor driver and color profile installed is important to ensure you see the most accurate color as it was intended for the content you are viewing. Whether you are at work or at play, color accuracy will make your overall experience better.\u00a0Download and install a monitor driver and color profile on Windows from the Acer support website\u00a0In most cases, monitor drivers and color profiles are installed automatically on your Windows-based PC. These usually consist of a few files, one with the extension INF, and one with the extension ICM. The INF file is used by Windows for the main driver installation and the ICM file has the color profile for the monitor that allows Windows to match and display colors more accurately.\u00a0Here are the steps to help you download and install the latest driver and color profile.\u00a0Go to the Acer Drivers & Manuals website.\u00a0Enter your device serial number, SNID or model number. You can also use the dropdown menu to search for your series and specific monitor model number.\u00a0Select the correct operating system for the driver you need.\u00a0Click Download, which will download a zip file containing the files you need.\u00a0Unzip the file by double-clicking it. This will extract the files you will need to update your driver (.INF) and color profile (.ICM).\u00a0Right-click the Start button, and in the Start menu, select Device Manager.\u00a0In the Device Manager, open the Monitors group, and select the monitor you want to install the driver for.Right-click the monitor item, and in the popup menu, select Update driver.\u00a0In the Update Drivers window, select the option Browse my computer for drivers.\u00a0Click the Browse button, select the folder location of the monitor driver files, and then click Ok.\u00a0Click the Close button to finish the install.\u00a0","outline":["ref":"download-and-install-a-monitor-driver-and-color-profile-on-windows-from-the-acer-support-website","level":2,"text":"Download and install a monitor driver and color profile on Windows from the Acer support website\u00a0\n"],"excerpt":"Making sure you have the correct and most up-to-date monitor driver and color profile installed is important to ensure you see the most accurate color as it was intended for the content you are viewing.
