A Display Set ID must be a value between 1 and 6. If the value is out of the range, the MDC system cannot control the display. Samsung Electronics guarantees that this program operates

up to four displays at a time. Although it may operate between 4 to 6 displays simultaneously, but Samsung Electronics cannot guarantee normal operation in that case.

2. The display you wish to control does not appear on the othe r Control Info Grids

- Check to see if the display power is ON. (You can check this in Power Control Info Grid)

- Check if you can change the input source of the display.

3. The dialogue box (Figure 9-1) appears repeatedly.

- Check to see if the display you wish to control is selected.

4. Both On Timer and Off Timer have been set but different time is showing.

- Apply current time to synchronize the display clocks.

Problems and Solutions

Q & A

General Specifications | PowerSaver | Preset Timing Modes

English > Main > Troubleshooting > Check before calling for service

Check the following items yourself before calling for service. Contact the service center for problems that you cannot solve by yourself.

Self-Test Feature Check | Video mode not supported | For Better Display | Dot Acceptable | Maintenance and Cleaning

- Self-Test Feature Check

Your monitor provides a self test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is functioning properly.

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. The figure shown below ("Check Signal Cable") appears on a black background when the monitor is

in its normal working condition though it does not sense any video signal: While in the Self-Test mode, the LED power indicator remains green and the figure moves around on the screen.

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 disconn ected 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 bl ank after using the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer system;

your monitor is functioning properly

- Video mode not supported

This indicates the display resolution or refresh rate is not properly set on your computer video card. Reboot the computer in Safe Mode and select "Default" in the "Refresh Rate Unknown" box while setting Adapter for Display Properties.

Contact the computer dealer or manufacturer for information on Safe Mode Booting.

Refer to Specifications > Preset Timing Modes for the resolutions or frequencies that are supported by the monitor.

The screen sometimes remains black even though it does not show the message "Video mode not supported." This indicates the monitor is set for a frequency out of range or the PowerSaver mode is on.

- For Better Display

1. Selecting Resolution and Color If the monitor resolution or color is not properly set, the screen may show blurred images or mosaic patterns.

Procedures for setting frequency in the Control Panel may vary depending on the video card.

Setting Color & Resolution >> Click Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Display --> Settings --> Colors & Screen area --> Apply --> OK.

You can get the best image quality by selecting resolution depending on the monitor screen size as follows:

• 40 inch monitor :1280 x 768 @60Hz Select 16 or 24 bit color.

• Supported or not subject to the video card (the monitor is irrelevant)

• LCD monitors may display up to 16.77 million colors (24 bits).

2. Setting Refresh Rate If the monitor refresh rate is not properly set, the screen image may be skewed or noise pat terns will appear. You can enjoy the best screen image when the refresh rate is set to 60 Hz.

Setting Refresh Rate >> Click Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Display --> Settings --> Advanced --> Refresh Rate --> Apply --> Yes --> OK --> Yes.

3. If the screen image is not acceptable or satisfactory, run AUTO ADJUSTMENT, to get a better image quality, in the screen that appears immediately after you click Windows System End button. If the noise persists even after AUTO ADJUSTMENT, adjust the screen settings using FINE/COARSE tuning buttons.

4. If you view a fixed screen for an extended period of time, residual image or blurriness may appear. Change the mode to energy save or set a screensaver to moving picture when you need to be away from the monitor for an extended peri od of time.

- Dot Acceptable

TFT LCD panel manufactured by using advanced semiconductor technology with precision of 99.999% above is used for this product.

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).
