LCD Monitors

imagine monitors that adjust to you, instead of the other way around. The Samsung 43 Series displays are infinitely adjustable marvels of ergonomic engineering that provide more comfort and more productivity. Combined with ultra-thin bezels, sleek, buttonless designs, and budget-friendly price points, youll want to put one on every desk in the company. With the Samsung 43 Series LCD monitors, its not hard to imagine.
Adjustability. Versatility. Productivity.
The days of being restricted by your monitor are over. No matter how short or how tall you are, no matter if you like your monitor on the wall or on the desk, no matter if you like your monitor in the corner or right in front of you, your monitor will be just how you want it. The Samsung BX/BWX monitors offer pivot, swivel, tilt and height adjustment (excludes 2443BWX). Your neck and shoulders will thank you. And the 2043BWX, 2243BWX and 2443BW widescreen monitors offer MagicRotation software, so you can view your images in a true 16:10 landscape or 10:16 portrait orientation. Not everyone in your office does the same job or works the same way. Its nice to know theres a monitor that accommodates everyone. Samsung 43 Series monitors also fit seamlessly into every business environment in terms of connectivity. You can connect using either the analog 15-pin D-sub connection, or the digital DVI-D connection. The 2043BWX, 2243BWX and 2443BW monitors also feature two USB ports, to allow you to easily connect a digital camera, USB flash memory or other USB device.

Beautify the workplace.
While the Samsung 43 Series monitors are easy on the neck and shoulders, theyre also easy on the eyes. Functional performance doesnt have to mean utilitarian design. The 43 Series displays feature ultra-thin, 1/2" bezels finished in a rich, high-gloss black (matte finish on 2443BW). The edges are gracefully rounded, and the design incorporates simple, elegant, buttonless touch controls. And the monitors themselves are about 2-1/2" thin. Youll find yourself staring at them, even when theyre off.

Up to 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for a continually inspiring picture.
Samsung dynamic contrast analyzes picture input signals and continually adjusts brightness for optimized contrast. The result is brighter brights without blowing out the whites, and richer blacks that hold detail. With up to 20,000:1 dynamic contrast, its a constantly shifting range that always delivers the most detailed picture possible.

Conventional Samsung

Fast 5 ms response for sharp motion graphics.
Not everything you do is a spreadsheet or a still picture. You might be viewing a website with motion video. You might be watching a sales video. Whatever the case may be, the Samsung 43 Series monitors feature fast 5 ms response times, for sharp, smear-free motion video.
HDCP for display of high-resolution digital content.
The details are what separate a great idea from an average idea. And theyre what separate a great monitor from an average one. The 943BWX, 2043BWX, 2243BWX, 2443BW and 2443BWX widescreen LCD monitors give you all the detail you need. Theyre HDCP-compatible (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). So when you connect a Blu-ray player, game console or other HD source to your monitor, the content will be displayed with no disruption due to content protection. Youll be able to view high resolution video with all the quality thats intended.
Off-Timer Control saves energy and saves money.
You can set your Samsung monitor to turn off automatically at a specific time. It saves energy, it extends the life of your monitor and it ensures your Samsung monitor is operating at peak efficiency for a long time to come.

Custom Key gives you a monitor customized to the way you work.
Which Samsung picture-optimization function do you find yourself using the most? With the Custom Key, you can set it to give you one-touch access to MagicBright, MagicColor, Color Effect or Aspect Ratio Control.
Aspect Ratio Control on widescreens.
With Samsungs Aspect Ratio Control, you can view 5:4 and 4:3 content the way it was meant to be viewed, even on a wide-format monitor. If you use a typical wide monitor with a PC that doesnt support wide aspect ratios, the picture will expand to fill the wide monitor and distort. With the user-selectable Wide and Normal Image Size modes on the Samsung 943BWX, 2043BWX, 2243BWX and 2443BWX widescreen monitors, the original aspect is preserved. No matter what you view, you can view it distortion-free.

MagicColor for color exactly the way you want it.
Brilliant, natural color is as important to us as it is to you. So we invented our exclusive MagicColor technology. MagicColor lets you adjust the color exactly the way you like it. Full mode enhances the overall color. Intelligent mode enhances the color without affecting delicate skin tones. And Demo mode uses a split screen to let you compare color corrections to your original picture.
The perfect picture with exclusive MagicBright 3 technology.
MagicBright 3 is an exclusive Samsung technology that gives you the optimum viewing experience, no matter whats on your screen. Seven presets let you instantly select from modes that include Custom, Text, Internet, Game, Sport, Movie and Dynamic Contrast.
Control it all easily with MagicTune with Asset Management.
We put thought into every aspect of a Samsung monitor, including ease of use. With MagicTune, you can easily control every aspect of your picture, right from your screen. That means that if your monitor is wall-mounted, out of reach or if you just dont feel like using the touch controls on the monitor, perfect color calibration is simple. The asset management feature lets you adjust networked monitors from a remote computer, as well as keep track of models, serial numbers, IP addresses, user names and status of all client monitors. MagicTune also includes the MagicWizard feature. With MagicWizard, you can set resolution, color, image and display font, either manually or automaticallty.

You can have an uneven picture quality on screen if the best picture quality is not provided for TFT-LCD. Resolution: 1920 x 1200 Vertical frequency (refresh rate): 60 Hz
TFT-LCD panels manufactured by using advanced semiconductor technology with a precision of 1ppm (one millionth) and above is used for this product. But the pixels of RED, GREEN, BLUE and WHITE color seem to be bright sometimes or some of black pixels could be seen. This is not from bad quality and you can use it without any problems. For example, the number of TFT-LCD sub pixels contained in this product are 6,912,000.
When cleaning the monitor and the panel outside, please apply the recommended small amount of cleaner by using a soft cloth to polish. Do not force the LCD area but rub softly. If excessive force is applied, you may stain it. If you are not satisfied with the picture quality, you can get better quality of picture by performing the "Auto Adjustment function" in display screen that is appeared as window termination button is pressed. If there's still noise after the automatic adjustment, use the Fine/Coarse adjustment function. When viewing a fixed screen for an extended period of time, a residual image or blurriness may appear. Change the mode to energy save or set a screensaver to move the picture when you need to be away from the monitor for an extended period of time.
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 66
Information 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

Information Ex)

Every 30 minutes, change the characters with movement. Ex)
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

Dot Pitch The image on a monitor is composed of red, green and blue dots. The closer the dots, the higher the resolution. The distance between two dots of the same color is called the 'Dot Pitch'. Unit: mm The screen must be redrawn several times per second in order to create and display an image for the user. The frequency of this repetition per second is called the Vertical Frequency or Refresh Rate. Unit: Hz Example: If the same light repeats itself 60 times per second, this is regarded as 60 Hz. Horizontal Frequency The time to scan one line connecting the right edge to the left edge of the screen horizontally is called the Horizontal Cycle. The inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle is called Horizontal Frequency. Unit: kHz Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top to the bottom sequentially is called the Non-Interlace method while showing odd lines and then even lines in turn is called the Interlace method. The Non-Interlace method is used for the majority of monitors to ensure a clear image. The Interlace method is the same as that used in TVs. This is a function that provides the best quality screen for the user by allowing the computer and the monitor to exchange information automatically. This monitor follows the international standard VESA DDC for the Plug & Play function. The number of horizontal and vertical dots used to compose the screen image is called the 'resolution'. This number shows the accuracy of the display. A high resolution is good for performing multiple tasks as more image information can be shown on the screen. Example: If the resolution is 1920 x 1200 , this means the screen is composed of 1920 horizontal dots (horizontal resolution) and 1200 vertical lines (vertical resolution).
