I had a Samsung 205BW (20.5” Widescreen) before my current Samsung 245BW.

The two share many of the same characteristics such as general button layout, inputs, OSD, etc.

One feature that seems to work a lot differently on the 245BW is the auto-adjust when using analog signals.

I work on a lot of computers via a KVM which is plugged into the VGA input, on many older computers it is hard to work on them sometimes because the image displayed on the monitor will not match up to the screen, it will be an inch off one side. On my 205BW I would just hit the auto button and it would sync the whole screen into place.

With the 245BW, it seems like no matter what the circumstances, it always just says “Auto-adjustment locked”.

This seems to be mostly an issue with older video cards but I work on enough older computers that I’d like to find a way around this. Some resolutions aren’t as bad as others but when it happens I’m left with no options as far as fixing the image.

Anyone else experienced this issue or know how to “unlock” the auto-adjustment feature?
