Windows 10: display driver stopped working in viewsonic monitor

Hello all, my ViewSonic monitor VG2448 is running on windows 10 and my display drivers stopped working. From where I get display drivers so that my PC starts working again?

Help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Video driver for older Viewsonic monitor

Just acquired Viewsonic VG2436wm-LED monitor, which is about 5-6 years old. Running W10 Home Premium and cannot get to native resolution of 1920 X 1080. Video driver is a generic hardware device and I saw other with similar issue, recommending run the
driver in compatibility mode. Windows update says all drivers are the latest, Viewsonic does not list this monitor on their update page. Any help getting to native resolution?

 

Viewsonic monitor compatibility with Windows 10

Hi Mark,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

I will definitely assist you.

Let's try simple steps and check if it helps in resolving the issue.
I would suggest you try updating Display driver from Device Manager manually and check if it helps. Try the below steps:

• 
  Press (Windows key + X) and click on “Device Manager”.
  
• 
  Click and expand “Display Adaptor”.
  
• 
  Right click on the device driver and select
  update.
  
• 
  Once update is done, restart the computer.
  

If the issue still persist, I would recommend you to contact Viewsonic
VA2231WM-LED manufacturer and check if they have the latest driver which is compatible with Windows 10. If the latest driver is not available for Windows 10 you can buy a new monitor which is compatible with Windows 10.

Viewsonic Driver

From what I've found to date, the "driver" you get from your monitor vendor doesn't install a h/w device driver. It installs a color profile for your monitor. I looked at a couple of drivers you listed. Look like they install a (.PAL) file (color palette). I've seen other monitor "drivers" install an .ICC file. (International Color Consortium)

If you already like the color on your monitor you don't really need a color file. Even if you can't find one, your monitor will run just fine without. Do the manual adjustments without it
