The Acer PM161Q monitor is specifically designed to be compatible with devices that support USB 3.1 video output. To use the PM161Q as a third display, ensure that it is connected to a USB-C port that supports video output. The monitor should automatically detect and display the image from the connected device if the port is compatible. If you previously experienced a "No Signal" message with another portable monitor when trying to use it as a third display, it's important to check that your current setup supports multiple displays. This includes verifying that your graphics card and drivers can handle multiple monitors and that the correct settings are enabled in your operating system to manage multiple displays. For the PM161Q, make sure it is connected to a USB-C port that supports video output. These ports are often labeled with specific icons such as DisplayPort or Thunderbolt. If you are unsure if your device supports video out via the USB 3.1 port, it's recommended to consult your device manufacturer or refer to your device's documentation. If you encounter issues or the "No Signal" message persists when attempting to use the PM161Q as a third display, consider the following troubleshooting steps: •Ensure the monitor is connected to the correct USB-C port. •Check the monitor and computer settings to ensure multiple displays are supported and activated. •Try using a different cable or adapter to ensure there is no issue with the connectivity hardware.
