hey all,
Usually with monitors I don't even bother with drivers, but I just bought a new 1440p Acer monitor and go figured, they have a driver on the website. I download the .zip file and extract it. I then go into Device Manager and under monitors where it says Generic PnP Monitor, i click properties and then click Update Driver. I manually point to the folder where the .inf file is located, but after I click next it tells me the best driver for my device is already installed (The Generic PnP driver from 2006), even though this newer Acer driver is from 2014. Any idea why this is happening, or how I can tell it to shut up and accept my driver? Never had this happen before. Thanks for any help in advance!
Just so you all know, the monitor is an Acer K272HUL 27" 1440p. I can give you the rest of my hardware specs if necessary, but I figured it wouldn't be in this case.
