A Monitor Problem

Luka · 07-13-2008, 07:11 AM

I've got a Samsung 713BM monitor and an ATi Radeon 9800 XT graphics card. When I turn on the computer the following message shows up: "Not optimum mode, recommended mode: 1280 x 1024, 60 Hz". I had that problem once. I solved it by unplugging my monitor from the DVI socket, waiting for 15 minutes and turning on all again. Right now, it doesn't work. I've never had a problem like that so far. It all started about 2 weeks ago. I don't know why. The worst thing for me would be to find out about my graphics card malfunction (however, I simply doubt about it). Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That is actually a common problem with SAMSUNG monitors.

Your best bet (if the warranty is still active) is to contact SAMSUNG and they will fix it for you or replace the whole thing.

Yes, looks like there's nothing else left to do, but to call Samsung. Thanks for your reply.

It's not a helping site, it's where the monitor was made.

Your post wasn't needed.

Someone close this.

Okay, I have bought something much more quality than my old monitor, more precisely, it is about the Dell 2407WFP monitor which has a diagonal of twenty-four inches, SD card reader, HDMI port and many, many more...

The best monitors are usually LG and DELL, so its better if you get one of those monitors instead of having to deal with the problem again in the future.
