    You may try changing the resolution of the Monitor and then check for the issue.

    1. Go to Settings.

    2. Select System.

    3. Click on Display and move the slider to change the Resolution.

      For reference:

    Method 2:

    You may update the Display driver from Device Manager manually and check if this helps.

    1. Click on start icon and click on “Device Manager”.

    2. Expand “Display Adaptor”.

    3. Right click on the video driver and select “Update Driver Software”. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.

    Method 3:

    Further, if there no updated drivers available on the computer manufacturer’s website, then trying installing it in compatibility mode. Compatibility mode runs the program using settings from a previous version of Windows.

    Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

    a. Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website.

    b. Right-click on the driver setup file and click on ‘properties’.

    c. Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.

    Nope, it only installs the driver pretending to be W8.

    Any chance your video card is setting something other than 60Hz vertical? Supported WXGA+ resolution is 1600x900 at 60Hz, it won't do that resolution at different frequencies.

    It sounds like you do not have a 1600x900 Acer K202HQL monitor but instead an Acer K202HQL ABD monitor that runs at 1366x768.
