if this is for a Mac, you can use Safe mode to actively change display settings to something ordinary and boring inside safe mode, then ease it back up to what you wanted:
Safe Mode does a number of different things.
On older Intel Macs, hold shift at startup, but have your userid and password at the ready.
On newer Apple silicon Macs, shut down your Mac. Then as you start up again, hold the power key until the ’Startup Options’ screen appears.
A parade of unusual things happens.
• Your Mac loads just enough of the kernel to do a disk check. Then it proceeds to do a disk check. This can take an extra about five minutes.
• your userid and password are required, even if you normally auto-login. So have them handy.
• Your Mac adds ONLY a minimal set of Apple-Only extensions, Not including graphics acceleration extensions. Screen updates will therefore be wonky and slow, but it ultimately should be correct.
• Your Mac assumes defaults for as many settings as possible, including screen resolution. This is the key for re-setting the screen, but there is a little more to it: Resolution is likely to be temporarily lower and settings ordinary. Use this as a starting point to customize settings to your liking.
If you make NO changes, regular mode will just revert to what you had set before, so DO make changes!
Any changes you make in Safe Mode will "stick" in regular mode after you restart.
• after a Restart in normal mode, your Mac will take slightly longer to start up [once] because it rebuilds some system caches.
"Works in Safe mode, fails in regular mode" implies "It's something you added".

I suggest you try Safe mode before spending any money.
the overall method is simple:
start in safe mode.
make a very small change to the display settings
restart in normal mode.
your display should be back, and you can continue to make changes up to the resolution and refresh rate you prefer.
Using an adapter to analog VGA will give you an un-necessary step backward in display quality.
Hi thanks for the response I’m using a Mac Pro late 2013 I was messing about in the display settings and for whatever reason I l lowered it to 30hz then the error message appeared it was originally on 60hz so trial and error with folks help thanks
Good morning no not connected to my iPhone it’s the trash can dark tower version connected directly to my Asus monitor, thanks , I ticked the iPhone box thinking any replies I’d get a message I know I’m green learning each day. I’m thinking of changing the hdmi cable to vga just waiting on an adapter to convert hdmi to vga then change the monitor to vga port worth a go;-)
wait, is this connected to your iPhone?
If not, what device exactly? Mac Pro is generally a 42 lb silver tower computer or dark cylinder.
so is your problem solved?
if not, please ask a more pointed question.
Not yet I shall follow the safe mode instructions first later on ;-)
