SolidSapphire Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I have a Samsung SyncMaster 205bw and doesn't work on it's native resolution... it just displays a blank screen, but works properly on much lower resolutions... It works fine on resolutions like 1024x768. But as you go up towards the native resolution it just blacks out. I really need so advice on what i can do to fix this. It's so annoying because i can't use the computer at all if it won't display. (I have both the Monitor driver and the Video card driver installed. This has been going on for 6-8 months.)

+Xinok Subscriber² Posted March 30, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted March 30, 2011 Have you tried changing the refresh rate? Some monitors support higher refresh rates for lower resolutions.

SolidSapphire Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yes i have the option of 59 and 60hz and it stays on 59, When i change it to 60 it doesn't stay. It just goes back to 59hz.

Andre S. Veteran Posted March 30, 2011 Veteran Share Posted March 30, 2011 Does the problem happen with both VGA and DVI input? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/986330-monitor-blank-at-native-resolution/#findComment-593838014 Share on other sites More sharing options...
