Hi guys, LCD/LED monitor experts, i need your help..

My Philips I9IEL 18.5" monitor turned full white when entering desktop.... when i first turned it on, the display is good, but after the windows logo appear, i cannot see my desktop... it turned into white screen... does anybody knows what is the problem?

I change my lcd monitor with my old CRT and it's viewing normal...

My OS is windows 7 32bit
No problem with my desktop unit..

Please help... thanks in advance!

Yep, I read it. That's really strange that it won't go over a certain resolution. I don't know what to tell you, except return the monitor if you still can. Sorry, that's happening to you, I would hate it if my 1440p monitor could suddenly only do low resolution. 🙁


In that case, it must either be the monitor or the software that is interacting with the monitor, and since you say it works well until you enter desktop, it's probably the latter. It looks like the problem in the link below is similar, if not identical to yours, so maybe you should try some of the suggestions.

@Nightman: I found out that My Philips LED Monitor has a problem, I put it back and start my computer in SAFE MODE, and its viewing normal, and I check the resolution "1024x768" default of safe mode. I set it up to lower resolution and reboot my computer.... Booting windows normally with monitors resolution 1024x768 it views normal, but then I tried to adjust the resolution again to 1280x768 it goes white again... As I tried all the resolution available (from 1280x768 to 1366x768) my LED screen turned to white and when I go high (from 1600x900 to 2560x1600) there's no problem... And my only solution is I'll stick to 1154x864 resolution... I can't play games....... I'm sure my game setting is ****x768... crap!
 

^^ I replied.....pls read, thanks!
