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 into a 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.

This monitor is EPA ENERGY STAR?? compliant and ENERGY2000 compliant when used with a computer equipped with VESA DPMS functionality.

As an ENERGY STAR?? Partner, SAMSUNG has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR?? guidelines for energy efficiency.

Preset Timing Modes

If the signal transferred from the computer is the same as the following Preset Timing Modes, the screen will be adjusted automatically. However, if the signal differs, the screen may go blank while the power LED is on. Refer to the video card manual and adjust the screen as follows.

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 and the inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle is called the Horizontal Frequency.

Unit : kHz

Vertical Frequency

Like a fluorescent lamp, the screen has to repeat the same image many times per second to display an image to the user. The frequency of this repetition is called the Vertical Frequency or Refresh Rate. Unit: Hz

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 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

Interlace and Non-Interlace Methods

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.

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 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 2560 x 1600 , this means the screen is composed of 2560 horizontal dots (horizontal resolution) and 1600 vertical lines (vertical resolution).

For Better Display

1.Adjust computer resolution and screen injection rate (refresh rate) oncomputer as described below to enjoy the best quality of picture. You can have an uneven quality of picture in the screen if the best quality of picture is not provided in TFT-LCD.

{Resolution: 2560 x 1600

{Vertical frequency (refresh rate) : 60 Hz

2.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 12,288,000.

3.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 can have a stain on it.

4.When viewing a fixed screen for an extended period of time, residual image or blurriness may appear.

Change the mode to energy saving mode or set a screensaver to a changing picture when away from the monitor for an extended period of time.
