KA270H monitor not detected by Windows 11 home Is there a way to get this monitor to work

bmiksa

I have a KA 270H monitor that worked fine with Windows 10. I got a new Thinkpad E15 with Windows 11 Home and the computer cannot detect the monitor. The computer can detect other external monitors we have. The only Acer driver for this monitor I can find is for Windows 8. Is there a way to get this monitor to work with my new computer?

Did you try to install them anyway to see what Win11 will do with the Win8x driveer? If nothing or error, then right click on the Win8x setup exe file. Click properties. Click the compatibility tab. And then run the setup exe in Win11's Win8x compatibility mode.

Hi @bmiksa I don't think the problem is with the drivers, I see that this monitor supports VGA, DVI and HDMI, it doesn't mention the exact model of the E15, what video outputs does the E15 have?
Have you tried another cable?
Have you tried to select the monitor using the Windows key + P?
Thank you.
Greetings.
