There are a variety of problems that can happen to the display monitor of an Acer laptop. The most common problem is the screen fading or becoming too hard to see. This can be corrected by adjusting the brightness levels. Another common problem involves incorrect color, which can be resolved by adjusting the display color settings. Yet another big problem is the display freezing or appearing jumpy, which can be resolved by updating the display monitor.
