Q: There is no response when I right-click “Samsung UbiSunc (P:) (USB Monitor)“ in the
“My Computer“ window and click “Eject“ in the displayed menu.
A: Though your USB monitor is recognized as a drive by your PC, it has been designed
so that the context menu usually displayed when right-clicking on the “My Computer“
window does not work.
Q: The screen size of the USB monitor is larger than the actual monitor size.
A: If the primary monitor has a high resolution, screens are expanded beyond the recom-
mended resolution in Clone mode (USB monitor). (Recommended resolution:
1680x1050)
Q: The screen size of the USB monitor is smaller than the actual monitor size. The screen
is centered on the monitor.
A: If the primary monitor has a high resolution, screens are smaller than the recommended
resolution in Clone mode (USB monitor). (Recommended resolution: 1680x1050)
Q: I disconnected or turned off my USB monitor but my PC still displays the old monitor
information in the Display Properties window.
