Brightness is adjusted by using the 2 buttons on the left side of the front.

I have a Dell E171FPB monitor that had the
same problem with the Main Menu coming up and I thought I would tell you
what I did to fix the problem.
1. I shut down the PC.
2. I removed the power cable and video cable from the back of the monitor.
3. I removed the four screws that hold the stand for the monitor and
slid the stand off.
4. I then removed the 5 screws that hold the back cover on the monitor.
5. I took two flat blade screw drivers and carefully removed the back
cover.
At the bottom of the monitor case, there is a small circuit board the
holds the 6 switches for controlling the display.
6. I located the button that calls up the Main Menu. It is the second
switch from the left as you are looking at the monitor from the rear.
7. I used a small solder iron and heated up the four prongs in sequence
while holding the switch with a pair of needle nose pliers. I had to
rotate this process from one prong to the other while all the time
applying slight pulling pressure on the switch pulling it away from the
circuit board.
8. Once the switch was removed, I put the cover back on and tightened
up the five screws.
9. Then I slid the base back in the slot it came from and tightened the
four screws.
10. I connected the video and power cable and turned on the PC.
With the switch removed the Main Menu never popped up again and I am so
very happy.

The trouble is probably due to failure of one or more of the switches on the circuit board that the front panel buttons operate. Sometimes they begin to act up from age and use, and sometimes they suffer from the "Windex syndrome." That's when spray cleaner has been used to clean the face of the picture tube, and some of it runs down and gets into the switches and associated parts. The best cure is to replace the switches and check the parts around them for damage or changed values. A number of vendors online offer replacement switches ("tactile switches" is what that type is called). Changing them requires skill in soldering, but it's not an impossible task. If you don't feel up to trying it yourself, you could check at a TV service shop to see what they would charge. Or, given today's low prices on LCD monitors, it might be a good time to consider replacing the CRT version you have now.

I have the same problem. I have spent alot of time diagnosing it. It is the button assembly malfunctioning.. The button assembly needs to be replaced but I have looked everywhere for a replacement part but none cane be found because none are sold. It sucks. If you take the case off you can see and remove the button assembly fairly easily. I think if your are good at soldering, the best thing (and only thing you can do) is to purchase individual replacement buttons, remove the old buttons and solder new ones onto the board. I am really bad at soldering so i will never do it. I hope this helps.
Turn on your Samsung monitor (if it isn't already.)
