There are only 16 colors shown on the screen. The screen colors have changed after changing the video card.
Windows XP : Set the resolution at the Control Panel Appearance and Themes Display Settings. Windows ME/2000 : Set the resolution at the Control Panel Display Settings.
Has the video card been set properly? There is a message that Have you installed the monitor driver?
Install the monitor driver according to the Driver Installation Instructions.
reads "Unrecognized monitor, Plug & Play (VESA DDC) monitor found". Check when MagicTune does not function properly.
See the video card manual to see if the Plug & Play (VESA DDC) function can be supported. MagicTune feature is found only on PC (VGA) with Window OS that supports Plug and Play.
* To check whether your PC is available for MagicTune feature, follow the steps below (When Windows is XP); Control Panel Performance and Maintenance System Hardware Device Manager Monitors After deleting Plug and Play monitor, find 'Plug and Play monitor' by searching new Hardware. MagicTune is an additional software for the monitor. Some graphic cards may not support your monitor. When you have a problem with the graphic card, visit our website to check the compatible graphic card list provided. http://www.samsung.com/monitor/magictune
MagicTune doesn't work properly.
Have you changed your PC or video graphic card? Did you install the program?
Download the latest program. The program can be downloaded http://www.samsung.com/monitor/magictune
Reboot the computer after installing the program for the first time. If a copy of the program is already installed, remove it, reboot the computer, and then install the program again. You need to reboot the computer for it to operate normally after installing or removing the program.
Visit the MagicTune website and download the installation software for MagicTune MAC. Check the following items if there is trouble with the monitor. Check if the power cord and the video cables are properly connected to the computer. Check if the computer beeps more than 3 times when booting. (If it does, request an a service for the main board of the computer.) If you installed a new video card or if you assembled the PC, check if the installed the adapter(video) driver and the monitor driver. Check if the scanning ratio of the video screen is set to between 56 Hz ~ 75 Hz. (Do not exceed 60 Hz when using the maximum resolution.) If you have problems in installing the adapter (video) driver, boot the computer in Safe Mode, remove the Display Adapter in the "Control Panel System Device Administrator" and then reboot the computer to reinstall the adapter (video) driver. If problems repeatedly occur, contact an authorized service center.

Storage

Plug and Play Capability This monitor can be installed on any Plug & Play compatible system. The interaction of the monitor and the computer systems will provide the best operating conditions and monitor settings. In most cases, the monitor installation will proceed automatically, unless the user wishes to select alternate settings. Dot Acceptable TFT LCD panels manufactured by using advanced semiconductor technology with precision of 1ppm (one millionth) above are used for this product. But the pixels of RED, GREEN, BLUE and WHITE color appear to be bright sometimes or some black pixels may be seen. This is not from bad quality and you can use it without any problelms. For example, the number of TFT LCD sub pixels contained in this product are 5,292,000. Design and specifications are subject to change without prior notice. Class B Equipment (Information Communication equipment for residential use) This product complies with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directives for residential use and can be used in all areas including common residential areas. (Class B equipment emits less electromagnetic waves than Class A equipment.)

PowerSaver

This monitor has a built-in power management system called PowerSaver. This system saves energy by switching your monitor to low-power mode when it has not been used for a certain amount of time. The monitor automatically returns to normal operation when you press a key on the keyboard. For energy conservation, turn your monitor OFF when it is not needed, or when leaving it unattended for long periods. The PowerSaver system operates with a VESA DPMS compliant video card installed in your computer. Use the software utility installed on your computer to set up this feature.

PRODUCT INFORMATION (Image Retention Free)
LCD Monitors and TVs may have image retention when switching from one image to another especially after displaying a stationary image for a long time. This guide is to demonstrate correct usage of LCD products in order to protect them from Image retention. Warranty Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention. Burn-in is not covered by the warranty. What is Image retention ? During normal operation of a LCD panel, pixel image retention doesn't occur. However, if the same image is displayed for a long time, a slight difference in electric charge accumulates between the two electrodes which encase the liquid crystal. This may cause the liquid crystal to build up in a certain areas of the display. Thus, the previous image is retained when switching to a new video image. All display products, including LCD,are subject to image retention. This is not a product defect. Please follow the suggestions below to protect your LCD from image retention Power Off, Screen Saver, or Power Save Mode Ex) Turn the power off when using a stationary pattern. - Turn the power off for 4 hours after 20 hours in use - Turn the power off for 2 hours after 12 hours in use Use a Screen saver if possible - Screen saver in one color or a moving image is recommended. Set the Monitor to power off with the PC Display Properties Power Scheme. Suggestions for specific applications Ex) Airports, Transit Stations, Stock Markets, Banks, and Controlling Systems We recommend that you follow set up of your display system program as below: Display Information together with Logo or Moving image cycle. Ex) Cycle : Display Information for 1 hour followed by a Display Logo or moving image for 1 minute. Change the Color Information periodically (Use 2 different colors). Ex) Rotate the Color Information with 2 colors every 30 minutes.

Avoid using a combination of characters and background color with large difference in luminance. Avoid using Grey colors, which can cause Image retention easily. Avoid: Colors with big difference in luminance (Black & White, Grey) Ex)
Recommended settings: Bright colors with little difference in luminance - Change the characters color and background color every 30 minutes Ex)
- Every 30 minutes, change the characters with movement.
The best way to protect your monitor from Image retention is to set your PC or System to operate a Screen Saver program when you are not using it. Image retention may not occur when a LCD panel is operated under normal conditions. Normal conditions are defined as continuously changing video patterns. When the LCD panel is operated for a long time with a fixed pattern (-over 12 hours-), there may be slight difference in voltage between electrodes that work the liquid crystal (LC) in a pixel. The voltage difference between electrodes increases with time, forcing the liquid crystal to lean. When this occurs, the previous image may be seen when the pattern is changed. To prevent this, the accumulated voltage difference must be decreased.
Our LCD Monitor satisfies ISO13406-2 Pixel fault Class II
