Natural Color

Natural Color Software Program

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.

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 monitor 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.)
