Question 1

IS THIS a free standing monitor, i don't see the stand very clearly.  does it come WITH A STAND or does it need to be mounted?

Accepted Answer

This is a free standing monitor.  However, the "stand" is really just a kickstand attached to the back of the monitor.  This type of stand does not allow the monitor to stand completely upright, so it stands at an angle (shown in the second picture).  It also has VESA mounts, and I ended up mounting mine.

Question 2

Just purchased this monitor and hooked it up via HDMI. I can't get the sound to work. Will it play audio via the HDMI cable, or do I have to plug in the separate audio cable?

Accepted Answer

Audio over hdmi should work just fine, it does on mine. As long as you have a fairly modern gpu, or one with a s/pdif connection to it from an audio card/onboard audio you shouldn't have a problem. Have you taken a look at your available audio playback devices in control panel? (if running a recent release of Windows). Modern gpus will have their own sound cards.

Question 3

What is the full height of this monitor with bezzel? I plan on Vesa mounting so I do not nee the stand

Accepted Answer

The full height (including the clear strip on the bottom), is about 15 1/8 inches. The height (without counting the clear strip) is about 13 1/2 inches. I do not know if the clear strip is removable, but there appear to be screws holding it on.

Question 4

Does it work on Windows 10 and does it have a web cam?

Accepted Answer

Yes it works on win10, I am using it there now, and no it does not have a webcam. Bu it works good.  Only thing that I found lacking is that the tilt is done by a 'kickstand' and so it only sits at one position.  Tilt is not adjustable to accommodate a higher/lower chair or desk surface.

Question 5

Is the touch scree recessed?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is, the picture makes it look like it is smooth edge to edge, but it is not. The black edge around the outside is on top of the screen. Even though this is the case, this is a very nice looking monitor.

Question 6

Is the usb port a usb 3.0 or 2.0?

Accepted Answer

That's usb 2.0 unfortunately, according to Acer's website. There are only 2 usb ports built into the monitor, so they're more an added bonus than any sort of deal-maker if you ask me.

Question 7

Is it compatible with my Dell optiplex 620 once I upgrade to windows 10?

Accepted Answer

Heck yeah! I'm running it with Win 10 on a 5 year old Dell.

Question 8

How do you use the webcam on the device?

Accepted Answer

Ha.  Don't laugh but I didn't even realize it had a webcam until you asked.  I can tell you that the USB enables the touchscreen via Window's HID drivers --it basically 'pretends' to be a USB mouse and send Windows the proper x/y coordinates of the touch.  And as a USB developer, I can also tell you that if the monitor contains a chip that "pretends" to be a USB Hub, then simply plugging in the monitor to the PC would then allow the transfer of both the 'mouse' info as well as the 'generic camera' info on the same USB wire.  So its likely nothing complicated, just plug it in and it works. The easiest way to test the camera is to use Skype and setup the camera there. Skype should find it, and any other cameras, and ask you which one you want to use.

Question 9

Does the touch screen feature work when used with an apple input?

Accepted Answer

If the Apple device supports a USB HID mouse (most mice are this type) then it will work.  So on a Mac, yes, on a mini, yes.  On iPhone/iPad, no (sadly, Apple has yet to fully embrace the USB protocol, their phones can be a USB client, but will not host a generic USB HID device.

Question 10

I would like to know If this monitor can serve as a Drawing Tablet.
