Great monitor for the price

This is a really beautiful touch screen monitor. I'm using it with a Lenovo desktop computer. A couple points regarding the setup... First of all, when you set up the monitor you MUST use the USB cable that comes with it to connect it to your computer. There is one line that tells you to do this at the bottom of the User's Guide if you load up your CD and read it which I of course didn't do until I had problems... You will also use either the HDMI cable OR the VGA cable to connect to your computer. So 2 cables are required - not just one. I didn't realize this important fact so I had a nice dead monitor at first. Once I plugged in the USB cable it was "lights, camera, action" time! Another glitch I ran into which the manual doesn't discuss is that if you don't hear any audio, then perhaps your computer is defaulting to non-existent speakers instead of to the monitor speakers. I had that problem too. To fix that in my Windows 8.1 system, I had to change my default audio to be the monitor's speakers instead of the computer's speakers. I did this by running a search on "Manage Audio Devices". Once I took care of that I had good audio. Note that I said good audio - not great audio. I feel that the audio is rather low. I will probably end up installing a couple more speakers because I like loud speakers. I'm still thrilled with this monitor and highly recommend it. It is sleek and modern and I loooove the touchscreen. Note: I am using it with the HDMI cable and have a dedicated graphics board in my computer with 2GB dedicated ram for the monitor. One other important point that the manual doesn't tell you is that there IS a power switch - it is tucked away on the bottom right SIDE of the slender glass monitor. I found it by accident. It isn't shown in any diagrams and I didn't realize it even had a power switch until I accidentally pressed it. I hope that the above information helps someone because it took me hours to figure out all these little crucial details which are not plainly spelled out in the manual. I'm brand new to current hardware and Windows 8.1 so none of this was intuitive to me. My old system was 8+ years old and used XP. I'm happy to be in the 21st century now!
What's great about it: Touchscreen, beautiful design
What's not so great: Speakers are low volume, hinge was tight
gateway monitor 900w not getting signal has vga cable only
I don't know if this will help you or not, but I just installed an Acer monitor today that required a USB cable AND an HDMI or VGA cable. Is it possible that you need a USB cable too?
