I tried the following options and neither worked. 1) Hitting the monitor buttons as stated only got me a "digital" message and then the monitor went black as usual. Never got to any menu options. 2) Going into Safe Mode and changing the monitor settings or downloading/installing the correct driver didn't stick once you went back to the normal startup.
I didn't have another monitor handy to swap out so I had to be a little more creative. The only solution that worked for me is re-booting (F8 during startup) into the mode "Enable VGA Mode". This allowed me to go into the normal desktop with a screen resolution of 800x600. I went online, found the driver, downloaded it to the desktop. Deleted the video driver (Device Manager), installed the downloaded version, rebooted and....no problems.
I have Windows XP. Hope that helps. :)
I have the same monitor with same probelm. I dont know if this is problem with samsungs specific model but the only way to work is the follow.
1. connect your pc to another monitor and set the resolution to 1024x768.
2. set the herz to 60mhz.
3. save the settings .
4. connect your samsung monitor with your pc
You must get clear picture. I dont know why it works 1024x768 with 60hz and not at higher resolutions but this is the only way to work the samsung syncmaster 713bm
Seems like you've set a resolution too high for the monitor to display. Try running your OS in safe mode.
In Windows just keep pressing F8 before windows starts loading, and you will be able to select it.
Then set your resolution to 1280*1024 in Control Panel and restart the PC.
