How can I use this monitor, as a secondary monitor, and how can I set up the touch screen function?

Hi Vargamari, it's like an ordinary screen so just google to setup as a secondary monitor. USB Cable is needed for touch screen functionality. Just a printer kind of USB Cable in the monitor and to the computer. The touch screen doesn't work that well on Windows 7. I can't say for windows 8 how well it works. Hope that helps you a bit.

Its very easy to setup. It actually sets up within your operating system. I use windows 7. It works great. Its a very well made monitor. I highly recommend it. Find the setup in control panel under pen tablet touch .

You would have to buy a monitor that is touch capable since the desktop purchase does not include a monitor.

The touch function is powered by the USB cable that came with the monitor. You need to plug that in, too.

This monitor is designed for touch input. A passive capacitive stylus may work, but wouldn't offer any better resolution than regular touch input.

If you can only display on an external monitor, then I'd call it DOA. Send it back for a replacement. Acer or Amazon should have you set. Just make sure you register the Acer on their website if you plan to get a new one from them.

I'm not sure about details, but I connected to my old ViewSonic monitor (not a touchscreen) and it works great. Probably not a problem, especially if you are connecting another HP product to this computer. Computer does not come with monitor, but I chose to buy "extra computer" instead of a package with new monitor I don't need. Really is a great computer. I'm not a techno-geek, but I connected a monitor with no problem and it was very user friendly. Computer finds new hardware and allows you to adds it in a blink of an eye!!!

Hi, this notebook does not have the touch screen function. This is something I did not want however if this is a must have for you maybe you should consider another model.

Hi, I haven't actually tried this myself and don't have a spare monitor home to attempt it. But if its not displaying to the second monitor after connection the hdmi port, try going to control panel and changing the display settings. Sometimes the settings for the display remains on the main monitor only and you have to set how you want the computer to handle the second monitor. You could usually set it to duplicate the same screen on two monitors with either both on or the main one off; or it can be set to span the desktop image accross the two displays.

There are two cables that need to be plugged in. One is the hdmi and the second is a micro USB cable in the front left side of the computer wich will enable the touch screen functionality on the monitor.

You can connect to an external HDMI monitor but you cannot (as far as I know) use an external touch interface with it.

Unfortunately this is not a touch screen monitor. It is a great monitor and I've had no problems with it but a touch screen will probably cost you between $250-$500.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

Hello! The touch screen works off an optical method, if you are touching the screen in other places at the same time it will confuse the touch points you want specifically.

Julie ~the display device reads directly from your armband. You will still need to plug your armband in and sync it with your computer. Let me know if that doesn't answer your question, I wasn't sure what you meant by "replace the software that goes with the monitor"?

The DVI to HDMI cable is responsible for the display. In order for the touch function to work, you have to connect the USB cable to your system.

Make sure the VGA, HDMI, AUXILIARY & the power cord are all securely fit into each input, and then make sure your second screen is on the right mode. On your computer make sure you set up second screen and set it to display on the second screen. Good luck!

Touchscreens work with anything. All it is doing is acting as a direct pointing device. Linux does not make a difference. Linux will see a "standard monitor" and you can still touch on it
