Let me guess, samsung odyssey? Had one of those, never again.
Friend even called me that he has fucked up his pc rebuild - his Samsung monitor was just not waking up because it literally turns off.
I've learned the hard way that there's only one decent Samsung product line - from big appliances to little electronics - and it's their phones (and even those leave questions on privacy).
That's funny, while I still buy Samsung TVs, I hate their phones. So much of what their phones can do is usually locked to only working in Samsung's apps and those are universally dog shit. The phones themselves are also often privacy and user control nightmares.
Granted, there isn't a lot of good choices for phones these days. I'm still running an old LG phone and have been looking outside Android as my next possible solution. But, I also haven't had a reason to upgrade.
Have a Samsung TV and it's by far my least favorite. Turns off at random, takes forever to switch inputs, turns on at random...
As for phones I'm eyeing the Motorola RazrFold, since they're supposedly offering it Graphene-ready
Turn off all of the Energy Saving/Eco Solution crap. It will stop turning off and you will get s brighter inage that doesn't shift in brightness.
You should also switch to Movie mode in the picture settings and set dejudder/deblur (under Motion Clarity) to 0 while you're at it so it doesn't turn everything into 60 fps with fake frames.
All modern monitors are like this now. Dell, HP, Asus...
Doesn't detect input? Instant power off. Now you have to press the menu key every 5 seconds to try and find the input for your PC.
Beyond ridiculous. I have a Dell that's like 15 years old and it stays on for multiple minutes before going into power saving. It's glorious
Typical Samsung product. Good hardware, acceptable build quality/ material selection, horrible software.
On mine you can't even select the input manually, the monitor always cycles through every input. Couldn't find anything on input 2 I just plugged in? Let's do another round of checking all inputs for 10 seconds, and again, and again.... And always finish on the input you started, or turn off if no active input is found.
Software always destroys their products.
