Samsung synhcmaster 753s monitor

Hi,

Dear User...

You can adjust the brightness and contrast of your monitor to improve the readability of text and to make digital pictures appear more like they'll look when printed.

To improve the results when adjusting the brightness and contrast settings for your display, use Display Color Calibration. (Display Color Calibration helps you adjust these color settings and others.) For more information about calibrating your display color in Windows, see Calibrate your display.

The way you adjust brightness and contrast varies and depends on your specific display.

• Brightness and contrast buttons on the front of the monitor. Some monitors have brightness and contrast controls on the front and use the standard symbols shown in the following image.

• On-screen menu. You can change the brightness and contrast settings for some displays by using an on-screen menu, and then setting the brightness and contrast in the resulting menu. Many times, you can view the on-screen menu by pressing a button-possibly labeled Menu-on the front of the monitor.

Thanks....

jcriley, If your SAMSUNG is not to old, try to get them to replace it or do a cash+old unit for a same model refurbished unit! You may have a monitor that has a "switch-mode-power-supply" that is in partial or full shutdown mode. When very strange and weird things start to occur with a LCD fluorescent lamp backlit monitor or for that matter LCD tv/monitor I would always suspect the culprit to be the SMPS!!! Get back to me [email protected] aim or 12fixlouie on fixya after you perform SMPS evaluation test using the flashlight trick to see if the screen data is still being displayed even though the screen appears to be blank. It may only be BLACK, but not blank!! Read some of my other posts here on fixya and also visit a website www.ccl-la.com/badcaps.htm FYI !! It is run by another tech on fixya nickname "buddymc". If you do a second post, give us a little history of unit in question such as age and screen appearance just prior to BLACK SCREENof DEATH setting in! 12fixlouie

Try to wiggle the cable and see if it goes away. Seems like a loose connection somewhere. Try to factory reset the monitor from the menu.

There's nothing wrong with the monitor. Monitors remember the settings for different video modes, including horizontal position. The video mode used when the splash screen displays is a size almost every monitor can handle. Then the mode switches to whatever you've set once Windows finishes startup. As long as the display is normal once Windows is running, you really don't need to be concerned.

If you want to correct the problem, you need to put the monitor into the same resolution and use its menu functions to adjust the size and position. Try pressing F8 when the machine boots to get into the Windows startup menu. This will probably also be shifted, so you can adjust the settings while the menu is being displayed.

I would check the connections between the monitor and computer. Also the refresh rate and/or resolution might be wrong. To correct this, you will need to boot your computer in safe mode. (restart computer, right after the computer's logo appears rapidly press the F8 key until a black and white menu appears. Select SAFE MODE) once the computer boots to safe mode, the sign on screen will appear very large. Sign onto the computer once at the desktop, RIGHT CLICK the background and select PROPERTIES. Once the display properties window appears click on the last tab SETTINGS. Here is where you can adjust the resolution. Take the screen resoltution to a low setting. You can always change this later when you boot your computer normally to get a better view. Next click on the ADVANCED button click on the MONITOR tab, usually flat screens operate at a lower refresh rate then CRT monitors. I usually keep my refresh rate to 60 Hertz. Next click on the GENERAL tab. This will allow you to change the DPI setting. I usually keep mine set to 96 DPI. You may want to experiment with this as monitors vary. Once done, click on the APPLY button then OK. Restart the comptuer and see if this has improved your display. You may need to do this several times trying different settings until you get a clear display. If you've exhausted all these steps, try a different monitor or changing the cable. If that fixes the problem then you know you have a bad monitor or cable. Good luck, let me know how it turns out.

Press the [1] key & hold it for 10 seconds / till OSD Unlock appears on the screen. When OSD unlock appears on the screen , release [1 ] & press [1] or [2] key. This will unlock the OSD.
