Natural Color

Natural Color Software Program

One of the recent problems in using a computer is that the color of the images printed out by a
printer or other images scanned by a scanner or a digital camera are not the same as those
shown on the monitor.
The Natural Color S/W is the very solution for this problem. It is a color administration system
developed by Samsung Electronics in association with Korea Electronics &
Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI).
This system is available only for Samsung monitors and makes the color of the images on the
monitor the same as the printed or scanned images.

For more information, refer to Help (F1) in the software program.

How to install the Natural Color software

Insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the CD-ROM Drive. Then , the initial
screen of the program Natural Color will be executed. Click Natural Color on the initial screen
to install the Natural Color software.
To install the program manually, insert the CD included with the Samsung mo nitor into the CD­ROM Drive, click the [Start] button of Windows and then select [Execute].
Enter D:\color\eng\setup.exe and then press the <Enter > key.
(If the drive where the CD is inserted is not D:\, enter the applicable drive.)

Natural Color

Natural Color Software Program

One of the recent problems in using a computer is that the color of the images printed out by a
printer or other images scanned by a scanner or a digital camera are not the same as those
shown on the monitor.
The Natural Color S/W is the very solution for this problem. It is a color administration system
developed by Samsung Electronics in association with Korea Electronics &
Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI).
This system is available only for Samsung monitors and makes the color of the images on the
monitor the same as the printed or scanned images.

For more information, refer to Help (F1) in the software program.

How to install the Natural Color software

Insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the CD-ROM Drive. Then , the initial
screen of the program Natural Color will be executed. Click Natural Color on the initial screen
to install the Natural Color software.
To install the program manually, insert the CD included with the Samsung mo nitor into the CD­ROM Drive, click the [Start] button of Windows and then select [Execute].
Enter D:\color\eng\setup.exe and then press the <Enter > key.
(If the drive where the CD is inserted is not D:\, enter the applicable drive.)

Overview

What is MagicTune™?

Monitor performance can vary due to the graphics card, host computer lighting conditions and other
environmental factors. In order to get the best image on a monitor requires you to adjust it for your unique
setting. Unfortunately, the manual controls available to tune the image often prove to be challenging. Proper
adjustment (tuning) requires an easy to use program that goes through a step-by-step process to obtain the
best overall picture quality.

In most cases even simple adjustments to Brightness, or Contrast require navigation of the multi-level, on­screen display (OSD) menus that are not easy to understand. Furthermore, there is no feedback to assist in
correctly setting the controls of the monitor. MagicTune™ is a software utility that guides you through the
tuning process with easy to understand instructions and back ground patterns designed for each monitor
control. The display settings for each user can be saved, providing an easy way to select display characteristics
in a multi-user environme or having a single user have multiple defined presets based on content and ambient
lighting.

Basic Functionality

MagicTune™ is a software utility that allows monitor adjustment and color tuning using the Display Data

Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI)

to eliminate the need to use the monitor on-screen display (OSD).
MagicTune™ supports Windows™ 98 SE, Me, 2000, XP Home, and XP Professional.

It is recommended using MagicTune™ in Windows™ 2000 or later.

MagicTune™ allows for quick accurate tuning of the display with the ability to easily save and use monitor

Troubleshooting

Before You Call Technical Support

z

MagicRotation Software works with the installed "Display Driver" supplied by your Graphic Card
Vendor to provide screen rotation capabilities. If the installed "Display Driver" is working incorrectly
or has bugs in it, then these bugs would still exist even after MagicRotation Software is installed.
Any incorrect/random behaviour resulting due to problems in the installed "Display Driver" are not
due to MagicRotation Software.

In order to verify if a problem exists in the installed "Display Driver" , you can perform the following
diagonostic steps :

1. Check if the problem is occuring in both 0 orientation (Landscape mode) and 90 orientation
(Portarit mode).

2. Check if the problem occurs with different color depths (8/16/32 bits per pixel) and different
resolution modes (800 x 600, 1024 x 768).

3. Check if the problem occurs without installing MagicRotation Software.

If the problem is repeating in any/all of the following scenarios then it may be the problem with your
installed "Display Driver" :

In order to correct the problem you need to perform the following steps :

1. Uninstall MagicRotation Software.

2. Obtain the latest "Display Driver" from your Graphic Card Vendor.
The latest "Display Driver" from (ATI, NVIDIA, MATROX, INTEL, etc.) are easily available for
download from their respective websites.

3. Install the latest "Display Driver"

4. Install MagicRotation Software. In most of the cases this should correct the problem.

z MagicRotation may not work in case monitor is replaced or driver of graphic card is updated while

MagicRotation is operating.
If so, please restart the system.

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 a software utility installed on your computer to set up this feature.
