    Monitor menu not working and monitor acting "weird"


    Hey there,

    first up sorry, i am not even sure this is the right category for this post. if it is at the wrong place feel free to move it.

    Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster XL 2370

    I am using this monitor as my second one and it is actualy doing all it has to do. there are just 2 things which are odd.

    Atleast once a day the Brightness menu pops up, does nothin, but the button on the monitor actualy greys out. I dont know why that is.
    And the monitor menu on the monitor itself, like all the buttons, even turning on and off, do NOT work at all. i press them and nothin happens. no reaction at all.

    I hope somebody can help me with that.

    Best regards!

  3. Weird second monitor behavior

    Hi all,

    I have installed Win 10 and it seems to work fine, with one exception.

    I have two monitors installed. When turning the PC on, only the main one

    works, the second one stays black. I thought it was a simple compatibility

    problem but then I noticed that

    1. If I go "Start -> Reboot" the second monitor turns on and works fine on reboot.

    2. If I let the PC "time out" so that the energy saving settings kick in and

    both monitors are turned off, when I move the mouse to resume working

    the second monitor turns on and works fine. :-O

    Some technical info, if needed: I'm using a desktop PC with Samsung

    SyncMaster EX2220 as main monitor and SyncMaster 2023W as secondary

    monitor. Both monitors appear installed on the "Settings -> Show Connected

    Device" menu. Also, I tried updating their drivers and it says that both drivers

    are already updated to the latest version. Same can be said for the GPU (AMD

    Radeon HD 7700).

    Has anyone else had this weird problem?

    Thanks a lot!

    M.

  4. Monitor menu not working and monitor acting "weird"

    Night Light Setting and Third Monitor.

    Hi Reagan,

    We would like to ask you some questions in order assist you properly:

    • Did Night light work previously on all three monitors?
    • Have you made any recent changes to your PC?
    • Are you getting an error message on the third monitor regarding Night light?
    • Is the third monitor being detected by your PC?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you performed so far?

    While waiting for your response, we suggest that you try to connect your third monitor to what you are using on the 2 working monitors to see if it is only a loose connection issue.

    Regards.
