Title: Whining monitor =[
Post by: PS2_-'_'-_PS2 on August 20, 2003, 02:59:26 PM: When i bring the brightness in my monitor down to under (not including) 58 (ther are no units just numbers) a high pitched whining sound starts and dissappers when i put it back past 57.

This is annoying at night because it is darker so i need to put the brightness of the monitor down =[

Monitor details: Samsung SyncMaster 151s (flatscreen)

Help me!! =]

Same with me, i dont get the option of 85 Hz though the highest is 75Hz, I e-mailed Samsung a few days ago but i have got no response yet - so i may have to phone them.

It simply means that is the highest refresh rate ur monitor can support at that resolution.

However, MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL THE MONITOR drivers!!! if u r using the default Plug and Play drivers, than you won\'t get the highest refresh rate supported by ur monitor.

I just bought a new Samsung 17" 765MB and before I install the drivers, i only get 75 Hz at 1024 x768. After installing the drivers, i get 100Hz!!!! Whoooooaaaaa!!!

of course, ur VGA card should also support those refresh rate/resolutions as well. But i think most modern VGA cards (like last 2 years) already can go very high refresh rate/resolutions.
