Installation

Be sure to contact an authorized Service Center, when installing your monitor in a location with the heavy dust, high or low temperatures, high humidity, chemical substance and where it operates for 24 hours such as the airport, the train station or etc. Failure to do so may cause a serious damage to your monitor.
Put your monitor in a location with low humidity and a minimum of dust. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock or fire inside the monitor.
Do not drop the monitor when moving it. This may cause damage to the product or human body.
Install the monitor base in a showcase or shelf so that the end of the base does not protrude from the showcase or shelf. Dropping the product may cause damage to the product or personal injury.
Do not place the product on an unstable or small surface area. Place the product on an even, stable surface, as the product may fall and cause harm to someone walking by, specifically children.
Do not place the product on the floor. Someone, specifically children could trip over it.
Keep any flammable objects such as candles, insecticides or cigarettes away from the product. Otherwise, this may cause a fire.

Natural Color

One of the recent problems in using a computer is that the color of the images printed out by a printer or other images scanned by a scanner or a digital camera are not the same as those shown on the monitor. The Natural Color S/W is the very solution for this problem. It is a color administration system developed by Samsung Electronics in association with Korea Electronics & Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI). This system is available only for Samsung monitors and makes the color of the images on the monitor the same as the printed or scanned images. For more information, refer to Help (F1) in the software program. How to install the Natural Color software Insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the CD-ROM Drive. Then, the initial screen of the program Natural Color will be executed. Click Natural Color on the initial screen to install the Natural Color software. To install the program manually, insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the CDROM Drive, click the [Start] button of Windows and then select [Run.]. Enter D:\color\eng\setup.exe and then press the <Enter> key. (If the drive where the CD is inserted is not D:\, enter the applicable drive.) How to delete the Natural Color software program Select "Setting/Control Panel" on the "Start" menu and then double-click "Add/Delete a program". Select Natural Color from the list and then click the "Add/Delete" button.

You can use the on-screen menus to change the contrast according to personal preference.

Troubleshooting

What is MagicTune?
Monitor performance can vary due to the graphics card, host computer lighting conditions and other environmental factors. In order to get the best image on a monitor requires you to adjust it for your unique setting. Unfortunately, the manual controls available to tune the image often prove to be challenging. Proper adjustment (tuning) requires an easy to use program that goes through a step-by-step process to obtain the best overall picture quality. In most cases even simple adjustments to Brightness, or Contrast require navigation of the multi-level, on-screen display (OSD) menus that are not easy to understand. Furthermore, there is no feedback to assist in correctly setting the controls of the monitor. MagicTune is a software utility that guides you through the tuning process with easy to understand instructions and back ground patterns designed for each monitor control. The display settings for each user can be saved, providing an easy way to select display characteristics in a multi-user environme or having a single user have multiple defined presets based on content and ambient lighting.

Basic Functionality

MagicTune is a software utility that allows monitor adjustment and color tuning using the Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) protocol. All adjustments to the display are controlled via software to eliminate the need to use the monitor on-screen display (OSD). MagicTune supports Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000, XP Home, and XP Professional. It is recommended using MagicTune in Windows 2000 or later. MagicTune allows for quick accurate tuning of the display with the ability to easily save and use monitor configurations that are best suited for you.
The OSD mode allows easy adjustment of monitor settings without taking pre-defined steps. You can access the desired menu item to set with ease.

Adjusts the difference in brightness between the bright and dark areas on screen. Determines the crispness of the images.

Resolution

Lists all display resolutions supported by the program. MagicBright is a new feature providing the optimum viewing environment depending on the contents of the image you are watching. Currently four different modes are available: Text, Internet,Game, Sport, Movie and Custom. Each mode has its own pre-configured brightness value. You can easily select one of six settings by simply pressing MagicBright control buttons. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Text: For documentations or works involving heavy text. Internet: For working with a mixture of images such as text and graphics. Game : For watching motion pictures such as a Game. Sport : For watching motion pictures such as a Sport. Movie: For watching motion pictures such as a DVD or Video CD. Custom: Although the values are carefully chosen by our engineers, the pre-configured values may not be comfortable to your eyes depending on your taste. If this is the case, adjust the Brightness and Contrast by using the OSD menu.
MagicBright control mode will be different according to monitor models. Some monitor will only support Four modes(Text, Internet, Entertain, Custom)

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 Vertical Frequency 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 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 Horizontal Cycle. The inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle is called Horizontal Frequency. Unit: kHz Interlace and Non-Interlace Methods Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top to the bottom in order 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. Plug & Play 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. Resolution The number of horizontal and vertical dots used to compose the screen image is called 'resolution'. This number shows the accuracy of the display. High resolution is good for performing multiple tasks as more image information can be shown on the screen. Example :If the resolution is 1680 x 1050 , this means the screen is composed of 1680 horizontal dots (horizontal resolution) and 1050 vertical lines (vertical resolution).
