When you start a Windows or game, a black screen appears on the monitor and writes the message "Non-optimal mode. Recommended mode: 1280 × 1024 60Hz ". Depending on the monitor, another resolution of 1920 × 1080, 1440 × 900, 1680 × 1050, 1600 × 900 and others can be indicated. Most often, this problem of redressing occurs in old monitors, mainly the Samsung line. We will show why an error occurs and what can be done to solve this problem.
Causes of non-optimal regime
Modern games work in a fairly high resolution. For example, many of them can be safely run in 4K. Therefore, the main reason for the bug - the default game is started in the mode, which your monitor (more often square) cannot be displayed, or runs to downscale (low quality). Failure is found in Stalker, Dota 2, Resident Evil 7 and other heavy applications. An equally rare cause of curves / outdated video card and monitor drivers are becoming.
Separately, it is worth saying about the "non-optimal mode" when Windows startup. For example, you reinstalled the OS / Drivers, changed the monitor or decided to use the adapter with VGA on HDMI, and eventually got a black screen. Then we will describe solutions for all such nuances.
Correct the error when starting games
So, for beginnings, consider all the initial steps that you can perform and quickly eliminate the problem. In general, they relate to the installation of gaming parameters to the requested.
Check the video card and monitor drivers
If this failure is permanent and occurs when you first start all applications, then it should be understood that the programs cannot determine which permission will be normal on the computer. The main reason - the monitor in Windows is defined as not PNP (Plug and Play). The solution will change the display driver.
- Open the Device Manager, click on the monitor with the right button and select the update.
- Click to "search for firewood in a computer", and then select the bottom "driver from the list already installed."
- From the list, select the PNP Universal Monitor.
- After that, the driver must normally determine the range of games and, accordingly, run them without a black screen.
If Windows does not start
- Turn on the PC, press the F8 during download - it will open additional startup options.
- Select first "Safe Mode". Open the Device Manager there.
- Click on your video card right-click and choose "Driver Update" - Bottom "Search on a computer" - Bottom "Select from the list".
- Here you choose the previous version (focusing by date) and confirm and restart the system.
Another option will be the choice via F8 options "Turning on a video mode with low resolution (640 × 480)". After starting the PC, load "Control Panel", We are looking for a tab "NVIDIA control panel". If you have another video card, see the instructions on it. NVIDIA need to check the following:
- Tab "Display" – "Changing permission". Install the permission requested in the error. The frequency should be 60 Hz. Apply.
- "3D Parameters" - "Adjust image settings". Expose a tick on the third point: "With a focus on performance". All changes apply.
- The last step will be "Installing Physx Configuration". Here from the list, choose your video card and apply. By the way, it is relevant for Samsung.
Conclusion
All these above options must solve the problem "Nefth. Recommend mode. mode". In rare cases, it writes such a mistake is obtained due to adapters when modern video cards are trying to connect to monitors with VGA-input. It is only worth advising to find high-quality adapters that are lost among Chinese twins. If it does not help anything at all, it is worth checking your monitor to hardware damage in the service. In case of difficulties, write in the comments, we will try to help you.
The monitor works for a while, and then shows the "non-optimal mode" sign? And this happens even when in the settings it is this optimal mode and is exhibited? And sometimes the monitor does not show anything at all? Meet: Samsung 710N - he has this problem congenital and manifests itself with time.
Samsung Syncmaster 710N - non-optimal mode and that's it!
We will open, repair and bring to feel!
And the very first question: how to disassemble the samsung syncmaster 710n monitor without the victims? I didn't do this. From the back side, we unscrew the 4 coasting bolts and 2 screws at the lower edge on the sides.
Then use an overdue bank card (thanks, Alfa-Bank, which did not take it) and gently separate the two halves of the case.
IMPORTANT: It is not necessary to remove the front frame, but the back cover, because the front frame is fixed with one screw inside (the SAMSUNG across the inscription at the bottom). I first removed the front frame (there is power - the mind is not necessary). Here is this screw.
After removing both halves of the plastic case, we begin to remove the metal back cover. It is fixed by four screws on the side ends.
Removed the lid and enjoy the insides of the Samsung 710n monitor in all its glory: the power board, the signal board - full geekporn!
SAMSUNG SYNCMASTER 710N LOOK - GENERAL CAPC
Here we are more interested in the signal processing board, it is more green and on the right side. And even it is that the VGA cable is connected.
We are interested in the processor - the most right chip in the form of a square. It is because of it that we have an error "non-optimal mode" with any modes in general.
Syncmaster 710N processor - it is to blame in non-optimal mode
The people there are two options for fixing the problem "non-optimal mode":
- Heat the processor soldering hair dryer to eliminate unpains-isse
- Short two legs of the processor: two top legs with the right sidewall
I chose the second option because I watched an interesting movie and did not want to make a hair dryer. Therefore, we turn on the soldering iron and forward!
Important: Many microcircuits do not like long-term exposure to high temperatures! 250 degrees are considered a safe temperature of a prolonged soldering. Use an adjustable or low-power soldering iron.
250 degrees - Safe soldering temperature
After the two legs of the processor are shorted (a piece of wire or just a drop of solder - it does not matter), you need to make sure that the neighboring legs are not affected. Surplus solder are cut with a knife. This is what the healing monitor processor SAMSUNG SYNCMASTER 710N looks like
We collect everything back, turn on and rejoice! Now the monitor works in all modes and does not shift!
On the eve of the New Year holidays, he helped relatives to collect and configure an old computer, suitable only for office work. The task was to attach all the components to each other, repair or install the operating system, install drivers on devices and configure wired Internet.
In the process of setting up Ourser, the ancient LCD monitor Samsung Syncmaster 710V ordered a long time to live, removing the message to the screen "Nempress. mode. Recommended. Mode: 1280 × 1024 60Hz ». Moreover, such a message cannot be removed, shutting down and re-enable monitor and other similar manipulations can be immediately forgetting - repair is necessary.
Photo: Comp.Click (Flickr)The decision comes quickly. Responses The search issued quite a lot of response, but the best thing I seemed to be a fresh note the non-optimal mode on the Samsung Syncmaster 710V (based on Novatek NT68F63L) in a person's blog, professionally engaged in computer engineering.
As it turned out, failure of monitors based on the NOVATEK NT68F63L processor - long known to those skilled in the art, and not only Samsung is subject to it. In order to avoid the emergence of the problem, people are advised to adhere to the recommended mode of operation, namely the frequency always keep strictly by 60 Hz.
Meanwhile, before the new year, there were few days, and I soon had to leave the city. Therefore, we decided not to postpone repairs in a long box. The very next day we have (I helped my son-in-law, Andrei) there was a household soldering iron, a resistor for 50 ohms, burning eyes and trembling from impatience of hand.
The monitor was disassembled in five minutes according to the aforementioned instructions of the good man, and here our eyes appeared with a processor:
The processor was hidden under the paper sticker: Look for the inscription "Novatek" The resistor needs to solder between 5 and 6 legs - the repairman knows how they are determined, there are no marking there, but if you look in the photo, it is two extreme legs in the upper right corner of the processor (from the logo applied to the chip).
We, unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, they did not cope with the task. The ordinary soldering iron solder the two neighboring feet of the processor to the resistor, without a shorter everything and everything is almost impossible.
Therefore, taking into account the growing ceiling, as well as the zero residual value of the equipment being repaired, it was decided to enter the most barbaric way from all possible - to warm up the processor on open fire. Turning the monitor over the burning candle, we also heated the processor with a quiet trembling for a minute, it is thoroughly crying.
When everything was cooled, I collected the patient and connected it to the computer. To universal surprise, the monitor in everyday life works until now, and has passed since then without a short two weeks! I will keep you informed.
Upd.: A civilized way to treat "Bayan with Mother":
With this message, the owners of old not wide-format monitors with the aspect ratio of 4: 3 may be encountered. It can appear both during the operating system boot and during the launch of a particular game.
In this article we will try to deal with the reasons for the appearance of this message, and also tell me how to remove it.
Why does NOT Optimum Mode Recommended Mode 1280 × 1024 60Hz appear?
To understand what it means enough to translate a message into Russian. It sounds the translation like this: not the optimal mode. Recommended mode 1280 * 1024 60 Hz.
Speaking easier words, it means that at the moment the image is displayed in incorrect mode, or rather with incorrect resolution and it recommends that you set the resolution of 1280 × 1024 and the screen update frequency of 60 Hertz.
If this message appears when you start any game, then the default permission is written to modern widescreen monitors, and since your monitor is not supported, then he tells you about it.
How to fix?
If "Not Optimum Mode Recommended Mode 1280 × 1024 60Hz" appears at once while booting the operating system, then you need to start it in and to set the resolution of 1280 × 1024, after which it is boosted in standard mode. The message should aby.
Setting the resolution in the screen settings
If the recommendation change the resolution appears when you start any game, then in this case the first thing is to try to do, it is during the message displaying simultaneously buttons "ALT" + "ENTER".
After that, the game will start in the window mode and you can set the desired resolution in its settings.
In the case when "ALT" + "ENTER"it does not help, you can try to go to the label properties of the game launched and on the Compatibility tab, install the checkbox "Use screen resolution 640 * 480" and try to start the game.
