Maintenance and Cleaning 1. Maintaining the Monitor Case Clean with a soft cloth after disconnecting the power cord. Do not use benzene, thinner or other flammable substances, or a wet cloth. We recommend a Samsung cleansing agent is used to prevent damage to the screen. 2. Maintaining the Flat Panel Display Screen Clean with a soft cloth (cotton flannel) smoothly. Never use acetone, benzene or thinner. (They may cause flaws or deformation of the screen surface.) The user will be required to pay costs and related expenses for repair of damages caused by him/her. 5. Symptoms and Recommended Actions 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, Video mode not supported, etc. In this case, first check the source of the problem, and then contact a service center or your dealer. 1. Check if the power cord and the cable are properly connected to the computer. 2. Check if the computer beeps more than 3 times when booting. (If it does, request an after-service for the main board of the computer.) 3. 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. (Do not exceed 60Hz when using the maximum resolution.) 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.

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.) How can I adjust the resolution? Windows XP: Reset resolution by clicking Control Panel Theme Display Settings. Windows ME/2000: Set the resolution at the Control Panel Settings. Appearance & Display * Contact the video card manufacturer for details. How can I set the Power Saving function? Windows XP: Reset Power Saving parameters by clicking Control Panel Appearance & Theme Display Screen Saver or in the computer BIOS SETUP. (Refer to Windows/Computer Manual) Windows ME/2000: Set the function at BIOS-SETUP of the computer or the screen saver. (Refer to Windows/Computer Manual). How can I clean the outer case/LCD Panel? 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. Specifications : General Specifications Design and specifications are subject to change without prior notice.

JOONG-ANG DAILY NEWS BLDG. 7 SOON-WHA-DONG CHUNG-KU, C.P.O BOX 2775, 1144 SEOUL, KOREA Information : Terms Sync Signal Sync (Synchronized) Signals refer to the standard signals that are required to display desired colors on the monitor. They are divided into Vertical and Horizontal Sync Signals. These signals display normal color images by the set resolution and frequency. Types of Sync Signals Separate This is a scheme of transmitting individual vertical sync signals to the monitor. Composite This is a scheme of combining vertical sync signals into one composite signal and transmitting it to the monitor. The monitor displays the color signals by separating the composite signal into original color signals. Sync On Green This scheme does not use sync signals. Instead, it combines horizontal and vertical sync signals into a Green signal and transmits to the monitor. It is mainly used for workstations. 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 Non-Interlace method while showing odd lines and then even lines in turn is called the Interlace method. The NonInterlace 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). A2 This system uses two carriers to transmit voice data. Countries such as South Korea and Germany use this system. BTSC Broadcast Television System Committee The stereo broadcasting system that is used in most of the countries that have adopted the NTSC system, including the United States, Canada, Chile, Venezuela and Taiwan. It also refers to the organization that has been organized to promote its development and management. EIAJ Electronic Industries Association of Japan
