Notational Power Installation Clean Other If the size of your monitor is small, or if the same image is present for long periods of time, you may see afterimages due to damage to the fluorescent substance on the inside of the CRT. Do not use a damaged or loose plug. This may cause an electric shock or fire. Do not pull the plug out by the wire nor touch the plug with wet hands. This may cause an electric shock or fire. Use only a properly grounded plug and recepticle. An improper ground may cause electric shock or equipment damage. Do not excessively bend the plug and wire nor place heavy objects upon them, which could cause damage. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock or fire. Disconnect the plug from the outlet during storms or lightening or if it is not used for a long period of time. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock or fire. Do not connect too many extension cords or plugs to an outlet. This may cause a fire. Main > Safety Instructions > Installation Do not cover the vents on the monitor cabinet. Bad ventilation may cause a breakdown or fire. Notational Power Installation Clean Other Put your monitor in a location with low humidity and a minimum of dust.

(Some detergents contain significant amounts of alcohol-based solvents, which can damage (color change) or crack the monitor case. The antiglare/anti-static surface coating on the CRT may also be affected.) Dilute the detergent (1:10 ratio) with water before using. Clean Other Do not spray detergent directly on the monitor. Use the recommended detergent with a smooth cloth. You can prevent the coated CRT from being damaged or the monitor cabinet from being dissolved, cracked or discolored. You can buy a recommended detergent at any Samsung Service Center. If the connector between the plug and the pin is dusty or dirty, clean it properly with a dry cloth. A dirty connector can cause an electric shock or fire. Do not set a glass of water, chemicals or any small metal objects on the monitor. This may cause damage, electric shock or a fire.

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. 4. Check if the scanning ratio of the video screen is set at 75Hz or 85Hz. (Do not exceed 60Hz when using the maximum resolution.) 5 If h bl i i t lli th d t ( id ) d i b t th t i Sf Md 5. If you have problems in installing the adapter (video) driver, boot the computer in Safe Mode, remove the Display Adapter at the "Control Panel, System, Device Administrator" and then reboot the computer to reinstall the adapter (video) driver. Note: If problems repeatedly occur, contact an authorized service center. Main > Troubleshooting > Q & A Question How can I change the frequency? Check List Answer Frequency can be changed by reconfiguring the video card. Note that video card support can vary, depending on the version of the driver used. (Refer to the computer or the video card manual for details.) Q&A Self-Test Feature Check How can I adjust the resolution? Windows 95/98/XP/2000: Set the resolution at the Control Panel, Display, Settings. Windows 3.1: Change the resolution and the colors using the VGA Utility provided by the video card. * Contact the video card manufacturer for details. How can I set the Power Saving function? Windows 95/98/XP/2000: Set the function at BIOSSETUP of the computer or the screen saver. (Refer to Windows/Computer Manual). Windows 3.1: Set the function using the VGA Utility provided by the video card. The monitor makes a sound when it is turned on. This is normal as some sound may be generated when the metal case and the electromagnet, which are installed to block any electromagnetic waves, interact with each other. Disconnect the power cord and then clean the monitor with a soft cloth, using either a cleaning solution or plain water. Do not leave any remains of the detergent nor scratch the case. Do not allow any water to go inside the monitor. How can I clean the outer case/Picture tube? Main > Troubleshooting > Self-Test Feature Check Self-Test Feature Check | Warning Messages | Environment | Useful Tips Check List Q&A Your monitor provides a self test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is functioning properly. Self-Test Feature Check 1. Turn off both your computer and the monitor. 2. Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer. 3. Turn on the monitor. If your monitor works normally, the following screen appears. Failure of any of the boxes to appear indicates a problem with your monitor. This box also appears during normal operation if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged. 4. Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and the monitor. If your monitor screen remains blank after using the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer system; your monitor is functioning properly. If there is something wrong with the input signal, a message appears on the screen or the screen goes blank although the power indicator LED is still on. The message may indicate that the monitor is out of scan range or that you need to check the signal cable. The location and the position of the monitor may influence the quality and other features of the monitor. 1 If th f k th it l d l t th f t th 1. If there are any woofer speakers near the monitor, unplug and relocate the woofer to another room. 2. Remove all electronic devices such as radios, fans, clocks and telephones that are within 3 feet (one meter) of the monitor. 3. Degauss the monitor if any devices were removed from the area. A monitor recreates visual signals received from the PC. Therefore, if there is trouble with the PC or the video card, this can cause the monitor to become blank, have poor coloring, noise, Sync. Out of Range, etc. In this case, first check the source of the problem, and then contact a service center or your dealer. Judging the monitor's working condition If there is no image on the screen or an "Sync. Out of Range" message comes up, disconnect the cable from the computer while the monitor is still powered on. If there is a message coming up on the screen or if the screen goes white, this means the monitor is in working condition. In this case, check the computer for trouble.

JOONG-ANG DAILY NEWS BLDG. 7 SOON-WHA-DONG CHUNG-KU, C.P.O BOX 2775, 1144 SEOUL, KOREA Information > Terms 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. In this case, flickering of the screen can be detected. To avoid this problem, there is a Flicker-free Mode using a vertical frequency over 70 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 NonInterlace 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 1024 X 768, this means the screen is composed of 1024 horizontal dots (horizontal resolution) and 768 vertical lines (vertical resolution).
