Acer Monitor Driver Issue with NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti Mobile on EndeavourOS

Are you experiencing issues with your Acer monitor not displaying at 1080p75 resolution when using an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile graphics card on EndeavourOS? You're not alone. In this article, we'll explore the issue and potential solutions.

Background

I dual boot Windows 11 on my HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-cx0xxx, and I've been using the same Acer SB220Q monitor as an additional display for a couple of years now. Initially, everything worked smoothly with EndeavourOS (based on Arch Linux) and KDE. However, after a recent update on May 14th, my monitor started displaying 'Input Not Supported' when set to 1080p75.

Troubleshooting

The issue seems to be related to the NVIDIA drivers or Linux kernel updates. I'm using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers, which have been installed and updated regularly. However, I'm not sure which specific update caused the problem.

Interestingly, my monitor can display resolutions below 1080p75, including 1080p60, 1050p75, and 900p75, but not the desired 1080p75. When I try to set the resolution to 1080p75, the screen changes, allowing me to interact with windows unseen on the monitor.
