where can I download Windows 8 drivers for a P186H monitor

I'm not sure that Acer would be coming out with updated drivers for this series, it looks like it is a couple years old. Is the unit displaying at the correct resolution? A lot of times the operating system will have monitor drivers as an optional update, if you haven't checked there.

Correct Resolution of 1366 x 768 is not accepted by default driver.
It has no valid 16x9 resolution settings.
Driver installed by Windows 8 is "Generic NON-PNP Monitor.
P186H Monitor connected to an "ATI Radeon HD 2400 Series" video card according to Windows 8 "Device Manager"

Same hardware worked fine with Windows Vista Ultimate installed using Acer Drivers.

1366x768 is a 16:9 resolution, I'm not sure why it would be saying that. It doesn't sound like a problem is with the monitor though, it sounds like it might be something with the video card driver itself. The only recommendation i have is to download the drivers that Acer has on their site to see if they'll work, http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Driver/Monitor/Monitor_Acer_1.0_Vistax64Vistax86XPx86XPx64W7...
