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 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 CD-ROM Drive, click the Windows [Start] button, select [Execute].

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.)
Uninstalling the Natural Color Software Program
Select [Settings]/[Control Panel] from the [Start] menu and then double-click [Add/Delete a program]. Select Natural Color from the list and then click the [Add/Delete] button.

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 and horizontal sync signals to
Composite This is a scheme of combining vertical and horizontal sync signals into one
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 the Vertical Frequency or Refresh Rate. Unit: Hz
Example: If the same light repeats itself 60 times per second, this is regarded as 60 Hz.
Horizontal Frequency
The time to scan one line connecting the right edge to the left edge of the screen horizontally is called the 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 sequentially is called the Non­Interlace method while showing odd lines and then even lines in turn is called the Interlace method. The Non-Interlace 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 the 'resolution'. This number shows the accuracy of the display. A high resolution is good for performing multiple tasks as more image information can be shown on the screen.
Example: If the resolution is 1440 x 900, this means the screen is composed of 1440 horizontal dots
RF Cable
round signal cable generally used for TV antennas.
Satellite Broadcastin
Broadcasting service provided via satellite. Enables high picture quality and clear sound throughout the country regardless of the location of the viewer.
Sound Balance
Balances the levels of the sound coming from each speaker in televisions with two speakers.
Cable TV
Whereas the terrestrial broadcasting is delivered via frequency signals through the air, cable broadcasting is transmitted via a cable network. In order to view cable TV, one must purchase a cable receiver and hook it up to the cable network.
CATV
"CATV" refers to the broadcasting service offered at hotels, schools and other buildings through their own broadcasting system, apart from VHF or UHF broadcasting by terrestrial broadcasters. The CATV programs may include movies, entertainment and educational programs. (Different from cable TV.)
CATV can be viewed only within the area in which the CATV service is offered.

Resolution: 1440 x 900
{ Vertical frequency (refresh rate): 60 Hz
2. TFT LCD panels manufactured by using advanced semiconductor technology with a precision of 1ppm (one millionth) and above is used for this product. But the pixels of RED, GREEN, BLUE and WHITE color seem to be bright sometimes or some of black pixels could be seen. This is not from bad quality and you can use it without any problems.
{ For example, the number of TFT LCD sub pixels contained in this product are 3,888,000.
3. When cleaning the monitor and the panel outside, please apply the recommended small amount of cleaner by using a soft cloth to polish. Do not force the LCD area but rub softly. If excessive force is applied, you may stain it.
4. If you are not satisfied with the quality of picture, you can get better quality of picture by executing "auto adjustment function" in display screen that is appeared as window termination button is pressed. If there's still noise after the automatic adjustment, use the FINE/COARSE adjustment function.
5. When viewing a fixed screen for an extended period of time, residual image or blurriness may appear. Change the mode to energy saving mode or set a screensaver to a changing picture when away from the monitor for an extended period of time.
6. Do not display a still image( such as on a video game or when hooking up a DVD to this LCD_TV ) on the Color TFT-LCD ( Thin Film Transister Liquid Crystal Display) panel for a long time as it can cause screen image retention. This image retention is also known as "screen burn". To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of this screen when displaying a still image.

PRODUCT INFORMATION (Image Retention Free)
y
A
A
LCD Monitors and TVs may have image retention when switching from one image to another especially after displaying a stationary image for a long time. This guide is to demonstrate correct usage of LCD products in order to protect them from Image retention.
Warrant
Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention. Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.
What is Image retention ?
During normal operation of a LCD panel, pixel image retention d oesn't occur. However, if the same image is displayed for a long time, a slight differe nce in electric charge accumulates between the two electrodes which encase the liqui d crystal. This may cause the liquid crystal to build up in a certain areas of the display. Thus, the previous image is retained when switching to a new video image. All display products, including LCD,are subject to image retention. This is not a product defect.
Please follow the suggestions below to protect your LCD from image retentio n
Power Off, Screen Saver, or Power Save Mode
Ex)
z Turn the power off when using a stationary pattern.
- Turn the power off for 4 hours after 24 hours in use
- Turn the power off for 2 hours after 12 hours in use
z Use a Screen saver if possible
- Screen saver in one color or a moving image is recommended.
z Set the Monitor to power off with the PC Display Properties Power Scheme.
Suggestions for specific applications
Ex) Airports, Transit Stations, Stock Markets, Banks, and Controlling Systems We recommend that you follow set up of your display system program as below:
Display Information together with Logo or Moving image cycle.
Ex) Cycle : Display Information for 1 hour followed by a Display Logo or moving image for 1 minute.
Change the Color Information periodically (Use 2 different colors).
Ex) Rotate the Color Information with 2 colors every 30 minutes.
void using a combination of characters and background color with large
difference in luminance.
void using Grey colors, which can cause Image retention easily.
z Avoid: Colors with big difference in luminance (Black & White, Grey)
Ex)
z Recommended settings: Bright colors with little difference in luminance
- Change the characters color and background color every 30 minutes Ex)
- Every 30 minutes, change the characters with movement.
Page 53
Ex)
The best way to protect your monitor from Image retention is to set your PC or System to operate a Screen Saver program when you are not using it.
Image retention may not occur when a LCD panel is operated unde r normal c onditions. Normal conditions are defined as continuously changing video patterns. When the LCD
panel is operated for a long time with a fixed pattern (-over 12 hours-), there may be slight difference in voltage between electrodes that work the liquid crystal (LC) in a pixel. The voltage difference between electrodes increases with time, forcing the liquid crystal to lean. When this occurs, the previous image may be seen when the pattern is changed. To prevent this, the accumulated voltage difference must be decreased.
Our LCD Monitor satisfies ISO13406-2 Pixel fault Class II
