Hi guys,

I just encounter an very strange problem with my monitor. My monitor is Samsung 2033. I just build a new PC. Im using intergrated graphic card which is intel G33 Chipset.

When ever my screen display something black, my monitor will auto dim down like power saving mode. Here are some examples.

1. During start up the screen will dim, cos of the black backgroud.
2. Playing Dota, when i move to the explore area (black) the screen will dim.
3. Going to any website that have dark/black interface and background, it will dim too.
4. Playing Avi file which the start is black blank screen.

Have anyone come across this situation before? I tried going to the power saving menu and is not a problem from there. Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance

I would try that monitor on another computer, and another monitor on your computer and see if the problem stays with the computer, or moves with your new monitor. This assumes you have installed all the necessary drivers for your new motherboard, to include the on-board drivers.

Stupid mode? Hmmm, I can't seem to find that mode in my Samsungs.

Thanks for the update.

This was driving me insane on a SAMSUNG SyncMaster 2433BW. Enter the monitor hardware menu, below the 1st option you find: brightness, contrast and MagicBright. The MagicBright setting is what's causing this. The options to choose from are: custom, text, internet, game, sport movie, dynamic contrast. I switched from dynamic contrast 2 the custom option and it solved my prob.

Thankss... This was so annoying. I had mine on dynamic contrast as well. I took it off and now it's fine Btw I am using a SyncMaster P2350
