Acer CB2 CB273U Quick Start Guide

To connect your Acer CB2 CB273U monitor to a laptop, use an HDMI or DisplayPort cable. Ensure both the monitor and laptop are powered on, then connect the appropriate cable from the laptop's video output port to the corresponding input port on the monitor. Select the correct input source on the monitor using the on-screen display menu.
First, check the cable connections to ensure they are secure. If the problem persists, try using a different cable. Adjust the refresh rate in your computer's display settings to one supported by the monitor, such as 60Hz or 75Hz. Update your graphics drivers and monitor firmware if needed.
Access the monitor's on-screen display (OSD) menu by pressing the menu button on the monitor. Navigate to the color settings section where you can adjust brightness, contrast, and color temperature. You can also select preset modes like sRGB, Movie, or User to customize further.
Turn off the monitor and unplug it. Use a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with water or a screen cleaning solution. Gently wipe the screen in circular motions. Avoid using paper towels, rough cloths, or any cleaning solutions containing alcohol or ammonia.
Press the menu button to access the OSD, navigate to the PiP/PbP settings, and enable PiP. Select the input source for the secondary display. You can adjust the PiP window's size and position through the same menu.
Ensure that the monitor's volume is not muted and is turned up. Check that the audio output on your computer is set to the monitor. Verify the HDMI/DisplayPort connection, as sound is transmitted through these cables. Also, ensure the device's audio drivers are up to date.
Access the OSD menu by pressing the menu button. Navigate to the 'Reset' option typically found under the 'Settings' or 'Setup' menu. Select 'Reset' and confirm the action to restore factory settings.
Check that the power cable is properly connected and the power outlet is functional. Ensure the power button on the monitor is pressed. Try using a different power cable or outlet. If the issue persists, consider contacting Acer support for further assistance.
Check the Acer support website for the latest firmware updates. Download the firmware file and follow the instructions provided, which usually involve using a USB drive to transfer the update to the monitor. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update process.
For gaming, set the refresh rate to the highest supported by your monitor and graphics card, such as 75Hz. Enable any gaming features like AMD FreeSync to reduce screen tearing. Adjust the response time settings for faster transitions, and consider using gaming mode presets for enhanced performance.
