Natural Color

Natural Colo

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 is only available for Samsung monitors and ensures that the color of the images on the monitor are the same as the printed or scanned images. For more information, refer to Help (F1) in the software program.

Installing the Natural Color Software

Insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the CD-ROM Drive. The initial Natural Color screen will appear. Click on Natural Color in the startup window to install the Natural Color software. To install the program manually, insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the CDROM Drive, click the windows Enter D:\color\NCProSetup.exe and then press the <Enter> key. (If the drive where the CD is inserted is not D:\, enter the applicable drive.)
