    when i search on the acer website for the Windows 10 drivers for my Acer Predator Z35, nothing comes up!!! When i view the device manager it shows my monitor as "Generic PnP Monitor"  Im trying to enable the HDR feature in Windows 10 bc i know my monitor and definitely graphics card (1080Ti 11GB) are equipped with this feature. Yet when i try to enable the HDR feature in the display settings in Windows 10, it says no HDR capable monitor is found. Thats bc the friggin drivers are nonexistent. How can they not have official windows 10 drivers for this monitor????????  Also has anybody been able to find a way to enable the HDR in Windows 10 with my same monitor??? Thank you in advance for your help since the Acer website is useless.

    as far as i know, Z35 doesn't need drivers for windows 10.
    if you have issues on having 120HZ, please check the video cable and to have the latest GPU driver installed.

    They do work!! Try restarting after u've installed them . The moment I installed them it no longer says generic monitor, it will change to say acer predator when done correctly

    Recently bought a predator z35 and have 2 problems.  First, when I go to install the monitor driver the web site says "Before installing the Touchpad driver, please install the Serial I/O driver first."  Second, the download does not have a setup exe file so the driver cannot be installed.
